European CDE Peace Treaty Will be Null and Void next Tuesday

By "exceptional circumstances" does Vladimir Putin mean 9/11 was an inside job? Cheyne and Co. have pushed the world to the brink again through one of the most audacious, or cruel crimes in history.

Tuesday 11th December is 150 days from this BBC article's publication.
I bet Kissinger, David Rubenstein, Lloyd Blankfein, patted each other on the back 'nuff times in the months and years immediately afterwards but their chickens are coming home to roost now.
Yes, 9/11 is such a monstrous crime that it will almost inevitably push the world into war as the world rallies to defend itsself from such a deeply disgusting group of plutocrats.
The irony is that war is what they always wanted as part of an authoritarian and depopulation agenda. So is Putin just playing into their hands? Or is he playing safe, covering all bases?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has suspended the application of a key Cold War arms control treaty.
Mr Putin signed a decree citing "exceptional circumstances" affecting security as the reason for the move.
Russia has been angered by US plans to base parts of a missile defence system in Poland and the Czech Republic.
The US said it was "disappointed" by Russia's decision but would "continue to have discussions with them in the coming months" on how to proceed.
The 1990 Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty (CFE) limits the number of heavy weapons deployed between the Atlantic Ocean and the Urals mountains.
The Russian suspension will become effective 150 days after other parties to the treaty have been notified, President Putin's decree says.................................................................. ............
......................................................But this revised treaty has never been ratified by the Nato countries who want Russia to withdraw all of its forces from two breakaway regions with Russian-speaking majorities - Abkhazia in Georgia and Trans-Dniester in Moldova.

"The CFE treaty and missile defence are the two major irritants between Russia and the West. It would have been easy, it still is easy, I think Nato allies feel, to move closer to ratifying the CFE treaty," the Nato spokesman added.
