Top Republican says 'all options must be on the table' after Russia pulls out of nuclear treaty
Fox News
House Armed Services Committee chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., pushed out a statement calling on the Biden administration to "accelerate planning" on Russian nuclear deterrence.
Rogers said Putin’s move is "no surprise" given his decade-long dismantling of nuclear arms treaties with America and said that the Biden administration should "accelerate" their plans in the event Russia "breaches New START caps" on nuclear warheads.

"Vladimir Putin’s decision to suspend participation in the New START Treaty should come as no surprise; over the last 10 years, he has systematically dismantled nuclear arms treaties with the United States and pursued an arms race," Rogers said in the release.
