It has everything to do with the US leaving the INF treaty.
Also, your choice of words is rather curious, Russia had only left the Open Sky treaty in 2021 after the US had left it in 2019, which kind of made it rather pointless for the following 2 years anyway.
EDIT: whoops, not 2019, but 2020. Still, my point stands.

If you could find any expert on this topic that says this is the case, I'll gladly listen; but you'll struggle to find one, at least one that isn't a hack or serial "whatabouter." Especially given the conflict dates back to 2014 and Russian "little green men" had already been in Ukraine since; not to mention Putin had been drumming up war rhetoric for an invasion years before he invaded in 2022, well before the US or Russia left the treaty.
- foverzar 4y agoYeah, ok, I can definitely see that you already solidified your opinion and totally not interested, judging by all those "counterargument" traps you so carefully laid out beforehand. Always love the "whatabouter" bit, btw. Some sure like to perceive the world as a set of unconnected pieces existing in a perfect vacuum. But whatever, your choice. I just wonder, do you actually live in the same infobubble as Putin's "rhetoric"? My impression of it was along the lines of "no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-YES"
