From an FT editorial on Vladimir Putin's decision to suspend the Nato arms pact.

However, yesterday's decision is strategically important because it signals Russia's growing readiness to tear up the post-1990 diplomatic order. Moscow believes today's strong Russia can revisit the deals done in the 1990s by a weak Russia. The Kremlin also argues the US has repeatedly acted unilaterally, including over Iraq and over recent plans for Czech and Polish missile defence bases. If the US can set aside bilateral or multilateral pacts, says Moscow, so can Russia.
