Russia has no choice: Putin prepares Nuclear forces for combat.

Maria Zeee joins Aussie Cossack to discuss the long-delayed state-of-the-nation address in which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Moscow would suspend its participation in the New START nuclear arms treaty, but not withdraw from it. Putin added that Russia stands ready to resume nuclear weapons tests if the United States does.

The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is the only bilateral nuclear arms control agreement between the United States and Russia, which possess the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals and more than 90 percent of its nuclear warheads.
