At the end of his speech, B. Putin threw a 'rocket' stating that: "Russia is suspending participation in the strategic arms treaty. If the US conducts nuclear tests, we will do the same. Putin: We know that some nuclear weapons are nearing their expiration date in the United States."
This development is certainly very bad for the entire planet and everyone should be aware of this.

Russian President B.Putin is really torrenting against the West, perhaps for the first time so raw and clear, showing that the Russia-NATO conflict is perhaps quite close.
"You yourselves have determined your future in the regions of the Donbas province," Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his annual speech to the Russian Federal Assembly.
"The goal of the West is to make the Russians suffer, they are the "humanitarians. The West stole our gold and currency reserves.
We will do everything for Niki. Our officers and sergeants have shown themselves to be capable commanders and for this reason they will constitute a reserve of armed forces personnel.
I thank doctors, builders, defense industry workers and engineers, rural workers who ensure food security, teachers, volunteers, journalists and above all military commissars," he continued.
The Russian President thanked the entire Russian people for their courage and determination, while he referred comparatively to the security forces, volunteers, fighters of the Russian-speaking forces and also apologized for not being able to name everyone.
"When I was preparing for my speech, I wrote a long list of all the heroic units. Then I deleted it because I was afraid of offending everyone I didn't name," he said.
"We will never become like Kiev and the Western elites, we will not do the same as those who left their homeland. Let what they did remain in their conscience. The main thing is that our citizens give us their moral assessment. We are proud that our multinational society supported our actions to protect Donbas," Putin said.
"The West relies on national traitors who always have the same poison of contempt for their homeland. Adults have the right to live how they want, no one will interfere in private life, but I want to say look at the Holy Scriptures. Everything is listed there. That the family is the union of a man and a woman. But even these holy texts are being questioned," the Russian president added, recalling that Russia rejects the idea of a "neutral card to God."
"It is impossible for them to defeat our country on the battlefield. The greater the range of their weapons, the further we will have to push them from our borders.
The West is using Ukraine as a battering ram against Russia. We are not at war with the people of Ukraine, who became hostages of the Kiev regime and the Westerners who occupied this country.
Ukrainian military units use Nazi features and symbols.
The West started turning Ukraine "anti-Russian" a long time ago. Trillions of dollars are at stake for the West in Ukraine.
They started the war and we are using force to stop it, while Sevastopol and Crimea are their next targets".
According to him, the West does not care who they bet on in the fight against Russia, as long as it does their will.
In the 1930s, it was the West that essentially paved the way to power for the Nazis in Germany, and in our time they are doing the same in Ukraine.
All this for one goal, to extract territories from our country", he continued.
The instillation of neoliberal, essentially totalitarian values is, according to the Russian president, the goal of Western policy.
"As a result of US military campaigns, about a million people died and more than 30 million became refugees. No one in the world will forget this," Putin added.
In Munich (security conference) there were countless accusations. One gets the impression that all this is to forget what the West has done. They let the genie out of the bottle," the Russian president said.
All these statements unfortunately mean, translate into a Moscow manifesto against NATO, the EU and the US, and what is certain is that they foreshadow many bad future events.
