Russia abandons START treaties.

Political posturing

Russia isn't actually withdrawing from the treaty.

It's a firm warning. A ' suspension ' means that the treaty is no longer operational.

Putin stressed that Russia was not withdrawing from the treaty but the suspension further imperils the last remaining pillar of arms control between the United States and Russia, which between them hold nearly 90% of the world's nuclear warheads - enough to destroy the planet many times over.

Again, the message to Biden is ' back off or we go nuclear '.
Is Biden listening ?

Russia says West willing to ‘plunge world into abyss’ to defeat it

Russia’s UN ambassador has accused the West of being prepared to sacrifice Ukraine and the developing world in order to beat Russia and maintain global power.

“In this desire of theirs to defeat Russia in any way possible, they cannot just sacrifice Ukraine, they are ready to plunge the entire world into the abyss of war,” Vasily Nebenzya said in the UN General Assembly special meeting on Wednesday.

Nebenzya said it’s not Ukraine that is fighting Russia, but rather it is a collective West. He said the West is closing its eyes on “neo-Nazism in Ukraine”, and only Russophobia is growing.

“All decorum is set aside, and the goal is to inflict strategic defeat on my country. The US thinks the planet is their turf,” the Russian envoy said.

Seems like an accurate analysis to me.
