So during the address (just now), Putin has announced that Russia is “pausing” participation in the strategic offensive weapons treaty, aka that agreement to limit nukes.

I have been politely reminded nobody does atmospheric nuke tests any more because that was fucking insane, the radiation and fallout is entirely contained by underground tests

Which means, reading about it, they will take out more warheads from storage to active duty and won’t allow inspections?

Yeah.

Which I would expect they will
