The Obama administration repeatedly denies such claims, along with others that the treaty’s verification provisions remain insufficient. It scoffs at assertions that Russia would cheat by multiplying warheads on bombers or new rail-based missile carriers, arguing that the Kremlin would want to avoid America’s compensatory response.
奥巴马政府反复地驳斥了上述批评，同时也否定了对条约核查规定不完备的担心。有人指出俄罗斯可能用多弹头导弹或者新轨道导弹运载工具来蒙蔽美国，但政府却不以为然，认为克里姆林宫也担心美国会以牙还牙。
