"Nevertheless, the fact that the Russians are making such a big deal about the preeminent language and their dissipating loyal statement is important, I think, in informing us how they will behave in the future, relative to the treaty itself and the broader strategic relationship. For example, we can expect Moscow to continue to protest vociferously every U.S. missile defense effort--strategic, tactical--in fear, arguing that it is inconsistent with the treaty.
