二次世界大戰後進入冷戰時期所謂二次核打擊意思是第一波不管誰打誰我還可以讓你死的還擊發射核彈具備這種武力的國家之後總算簽訂條約解除冷戰如今美俄又開始玩這招且不是核彈發射井也不是潛艇小核彈是核彈導彈車是移動式的這是新一輪的裝備競賽第二次冷戰將要開啟嗎？台海在去年中國發展兩棲戰車後各種挑釁層出不窮一帶一路佔港阻止美航母支援戰略戰術都已經成熟不過總算在今年軍購美戰車有了節制戰車高一代不是鬧著玩的一帶一路賠的錢全白花了買邦交國也買到免簽輸台灣真的笨但是相較世界級冷戰的導彈車真的是小巫唉！第二次冷戰該不會在今天開始吧？內文： Washington(CNN)The United Statesformally withdrew from the Intermediate-Ran ge Nuclear Forces Treatywith Russia Friday, as the US military prepares to test a new non-nuclear mobile-launched cruise missile developed specifically to challenge Moscow in Europe, according to a senior US defense official. The US withdrawal puts an end to a landmark arms control pact that has limit ed the development of ground-based missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kil ometers and is sparking fears of a new arms race. "Russia is solely responsible for the treaty's demise," Secretary of State M ike Pompeo said in a statement Friday announcing the US' formal withdrawal f rom the Cold-War era nuclear treaty. Pompeo said, "Russia failed to return to full and verified compliance throug h the destruction of its noncompliant missile system." NATO Secretary GeneralJens Stoltenberg toldCNN's Hala Gorani that the trea ty's end is a "serious setback." 'A bad day' "The fact that we don't have the INF Treaty anymore, the fact that the Russi ans over the years have deployed new missiles, which can reach European citi es within minutes, which are hard to detect, are mobile and are nuclear capa ble, and therefore reduce the threshold of any potential use of nuclear weap ons in an armed conflict -- of course that's a bad day for all of us who bel ieve in arms control and stability in Europe," Stoltenberg said. "At the same time, NATO is there to protect all our allies and we will take the necessary measures to retain credible defense," he added. The new US missile test, whichCNN reported Thursday, is expected to take pl ace in the next few weeks and will essentially be the Trump administration's answer to Russia's years-long non-compliance with the INF treaty, the senio r US defense official said. A senior administration official told reporters that the US will be testing the cruise missiles that were forbidden by the INF treaty because "Russia ca nnot maintain military advantage," but claimed that it will take years for t he US to deploy those weapons. Deployment "We are literally years away before we would be at a point where we would ta lk about basing of any particular capability. Because of our steadfast adher ence to the treaty over 32 years, we are barely, after almost a year, at a p oint where we are contemplating initial flight tests," explained the senior administration official, noting that the US would only look at deploying con ventional weapons, not nuclear weapons. But the Pentagon said in March that this ground launched missile could be re ady for deployment within 18 months. The administration's budget request for fiscal year 2020, released in February, included $96 million for continued research and development on INF range missile systems. And arms control experts say it's not difficult to convert existing air- or sea-based systems into the ground-based missile the Pentagon plans to test. "It is not a significant engineering task," said Jon Wolfsthal, director of the Nuclear Crisis Group and a former nuclear expert for the National Securi ty Council under the Obama administration. "It's well within the capability of major defense contractors and the army to pull off." Clock's ticking on one of world's most important nuclear treaties. A dangero us arms race may be next The end of the INF pact leaves the US and Russia with just one nuclear arms agreement, the New START Treaty, which governs strategic nuclear weapons and delivery systems for each side. If New START isn't renewed or extended by 2 021, the world's two largest nuclear powers would have no limits on their ar senals for the first time in decades. President Donald Trump's ambivalent comments about New START and national se curity advisor John Bolton's well-known dislike for arms control treaties ha ve given rise to deep concern about a new nuclear arms race. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told reporters Thursday that the INF T reaty's expiry means "the world will lose an invaluable brake on nuclear war . This will likely heighten, not reduce, the threat posed by ballistic missi les." He urged the US and Russia to "urgently seek agreement on a new common path for international arms control." Retired Gen. Wesley Clark, a former NATO supreme allied commander, said on C NN "New Day" that the termination of the treaty also marks "one more ratchet up on the movement towards a more adversarial relationship with Russia." But he added that the US "really didn't have a choice" because the treaty wa sn't effective. 'A competition with nuclear arms' "We're going into a new competition, a military competition, including a com petition with nuclear arms against development that Russia, and to some exte nt, China are making," Clark said. "No one wants to do this. It's expensive, it's dangerous, but it's necessary if we're going to maintain our security in an uncertain world." The Trump administration casts the forthcoming test of the new ground-based missiles as necessary to US national security, even as it seeks to tamp down any suggestion that the US is triggering an arms race, a claim that's met w ith skepticism in the arms control community. When asked if the US will commit to maintaining some kind of arms control de spite this treaty being defunct, the official largely put the onus on Russia . "I can't speak for the Russian federation so I can't promise that they will be amenable to additional arms control," the official said. "I can only tell you that the US, from the President on down, is interested in finding an ef fective arms control solution." On Friday, Russia said it is inviting the US and NATO to join them in declar ing a moratorium on deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range missi les. 'Not credible' "We invited the US and other NATO countries to assess the possibility of dec laring the same moratorium on deploying intermediate-range and shorter-range equipment as we have, the same moratorium Vladimir Putin declared, saying t hat Russia will refrain from deploying these systems when we acquire them un less the American equipment is deployed in certain regions," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said, Russian state news agency TASS reporte d. Stoltenberg on Friday dismissed Russia's offer of a moratorium as "not credi ble," because Russia has been deploying missiles for years. "There is zero credibility in offering a moratorium on missiles they are alr eady deploying," he said. "There are no new US missiles, no new NATO missile s in Europe but there are more and more Russian missiles," Stoltenberg said in a press conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels. International allies, including the United Kingdom, emphasized their support for the US' move to withdraw from the INF treaty. NATO allies said in a statement that Russia remains in violation of the INF Treaty, "despite years of U.S. and Allied engagement," adding that they full y support the US' decision. U.S. President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg (L) talk to reporters in the Oval Office at the White House April 02, 2019 in Wa shington, DC. NATO added that over the past six months Russia had a "final opportunity" to honor the treaty but failed. UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Russia caused the INF Treaty collapse ,tweeting, "Their contempt for the rules based international system threate ns European security." The senior US defense official said that the US has long had evidence that R ussia has developed, tested and fielded "multiple battalions" of non-INF com pliant cruise and ballistic missiles. The US believes the deployments are "m ilitarily significant" because the missiles are mobile, allowing Moscow to m ove them rapidly and making it difficult for the US to track them. The Russian missiles use solid fuel, which also means they can be readied in a very short time frame to be fired at targets, especially in western Europ e. Alexandra Bell, senior policy director at the non-partisan Center for Arms C ontrol & Non-Proliferation, explains that "with this type of missile there's very short warning, attacks are harder to spot by radar, so it's just more destabilizing. They made the situation in Europe more dangerous." Russian targets The Pentagon has been working on the new missile system's very initial phase s, which will lead to the first test in the coming weeks, the defense offici al said. The official emphasized there is no formal program yet to develop t he missile, because the INF treaty has been in effect. The US also has yet to formally discuss and commit to firm basing options, t he defense official said. The concept, the official said, would be to positi on the missiles in militarily advantageous positions from which they could f ire past Russian defenses and target ports, military bases or critical infra structure. But no NATO member "has said it would be willing to host new US intermediate range missiles," Kingston Reif, director for disarmament and threat reducti on policy at the Arms Control Association. Indeed, several NATO members, including Poland, have made clear that any dep loyment of the missiles in Europe would have to be approved by all NATO memb ers. Stoltenberg has emphasized that NATO will respond to the end of the INF Treaty as an alliance and would not be amenable to US missile deployments o n its border. "What we will do will be measured, it will be coordinated as a NATO family, no bilateral arrangements, but NATO as an alliance," Stoltenberg said last m onth. "We will not mirror what Russia is doing, meaning that we will not dep loy missiles," the NATO chief said.
