Why should Russia oblige to western rules?

Why have treaties then?

[@UpperZenith]

Exactly - you are right. Why should the US abide by the rule in a treaty with Russia. Lets all re-arm all of our warheads, pump up our stockpiles to 5 or 6,000 warheads. Then we can really get busy with the cook off. Lets grill some meats

It's not western rules it was a bilateral agreement that Russia agreed too

This means Russian nuclear warheads are not in storage facilities and are ready to be launched. What is there to inspect.
