Obama Allowing Russians to Inspect Nuclear Sites!

Yes, I wish that this was a satire piece, but unfortunately it appears that this is real. President Obama's Administration is going to allow Russia to inspect our nuclear facilities-- within the United States. This is an unprecedented move that damages US national security. Not only does it lift the veil of secrecy, but if Russia decided to sell the secret information to terrorists or rogue states, attacks could follow.

This is a disgrace.

what the hell are we doing?

Madame Secretary is floating a joint missile defense system with our new co-superpower.

So that explains what she was up to in that black BMW, I guess.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Kinda like giving your house and car keys to the gang banger next door so you can become good friends and avoid any hassles later.

“what the hell are we doing?”

The first such inspections were in the late 1980s under President Reagan. Reagan signed the INF treaty in December 1987.

Laughing at the peasants.

[Huskrrrr]

Rootin’-Tootin’-Putin must be laughing his butt off right about now.

you don’t understand the USA.

General James Mattoon Scott: I think the signing of a nuclear disarmament pact with the Soviet Union is at best an act of naivete, and at worst an unsupportable negligence. We've stayed alive because we've built up an arsenal, and we've kept the peace because we've dealt with an enemy who knew we would use that arsenal. And now we're asked to believe that a piece of paper will take the place of missile sites and Polaris submarines, and that an enemy who hasn't honored one solemn treaty in the history of its existence will now, for our convenience, do precisely that. I have strong doubts, gentlemen.

General James Mattoon Scott: And if you want to talk about your oath of office, I'm here to tell you face to face, President Lyman, that you violated that oath when you stripped this country of its muscles - when you deliberately played upon the fear and fatigue of the people and told them they could remove that fear by the stroke of a pen. And then when this nation rejected you, lost faith in you, and began militantly to oppose you, you violated that oath by not resigning from office and turning the country over to someone who could represent the people of the United States.

what the hell are we doing?

Goin' global.

[La Enchiladita]

This is not all that alarming or newsworthy. We have exported nukes to India, and NASA is teaching China all the tricks of our space program. It’s a weird world; get used to it.

[Petronski]

Such inspections are not unprecedented.

The question is, will Obama have secrecy safeguards in place that match those of Reagan?

Reagan was motivated by love for the United States and a fierce protective instinct. What’s Obama’s motivation?

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Statement: "Obama Allowing Russians to Inspect Nuclear Sites!"

Response: For America this clown intuitively choses the most harmful course of action.

[combat_boots]

Soros paid a lot for this one. ChiComs, Saudis, AQ and Russia, too. Oh yes. Forgot Iran.

[Right_in_Virginia]

BTTT

[Sparko]

So how is this different than the following?

“In all, the United States conducted 540 inspections and Russia (prior to December 25, 1991 - the Soviet Union) conducted 311 inspections as detailed in the table below.”

You are almost as naive as Hillary.......

In the spirit of friendship, I guess we should give Russia an F-22 like the British gave Stalin their Jet Engine.

This is NOT any sort of trust but verify like the 80’s program was. It is a one sided treaty, only for Russia’s benefit.

[Thunder90]

How is it different... We are not inspecting Russian sites!

[Sparko]

Learn to read carefully. I was referring to past inspections’ agreements.

[Kolokotronis]

“This is NOT any sort of trust but verify like the 80’s program was. It is a one sided treaty, only for Russia’s benefit.”

Ah, I see. It was a Reagan treaty so it must have been OK; like the Reagan bill mandating tax payer paid for medical care at emergency rooms for illegal aliens was a good thing, but if the Dims have anything to do with it its bad, right?

[Sparko]

Thank you. That is of course different than the previous START.

But I can’t find the details of a renegotiated Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Do you have a link?
