Per the Russians, it certainly does. The Russians reserve the right to pull out of the treaty if US missile defense actually renders their offensive capabilities ineffective.

So according to you, because the treaty doesn’t limit our buildup, the treaty limits our buildup, because if we did build up— which the treaty allows us to do— Russia might back out of the treaty.

Mind-fucking-boggling.

I don’t think you can really say this does not limit the US ability to build missile defense under the agreement.

Again, the Russian’s complaint is that this does not limit the US ability to build missile defense under the agreement.
