Russia and the United States have tentatively agreed to a weapons inspection program that would allow Russians to visit nuclear sites in America to count missiles and warheads.

[ameribbean expat]

we get to visit theirs...

apparently there’s one in a Siberian carpark that’s grabbing some attention in the German press:

The “radioactive materials” they’re talking about probably describes little tyvek booties and gloves with a bit of dust on them.

“We want to ensure that every question that the Russian military or Russian government asks is answered,” she said, calling missile defense “another area for deep cooperation between ourcountries.”

On another critical issue, Lavrov declared that it would be counterproductive to threaten Iran with more sanctions over its nuclear program — as he resisted efforts by Clinton to win agreement for tougher measures should Iran fail to prove its program is peaceful.

Clinton visited Moscow on her first trip since becoming America’s top diplomat, in an effort to gauge Moscow’s willingness to join the U.S. in imposing sanctions.

Clinton said the U.S. agreed it was important to pursue diplomacy with Iran.

“At the same time that we are very vigorously pursuing this track, we are aware that we might not be as successful as we need to be, so we have always looked at the potential of sanctions in the event we are not successful and cannot assure ourselves . . .

[DaveTesla]

“This is not a new concept......”

Clinton just did this....
You know....
On that little trip she just took.

[NonValueAdded]

Oh great, we're going to show them "the Big Board" and not even get a reach-around in return.

Hillary opens the kimono - wrong on every level!

[grey_whiskers]

WTF? I thought it was Iran which had the rogue nuclear program.

Cheers!

[hercuroc]

Well the Chinese gave the Clintons a crapload of money,now I guess it’s the Russkies turn.

I read this story yesterday. Is this the first if was posted on FR?

Comrade Ubama: The gift that keeps on giving.

[DoughtyOne]

Well JimSEA, did Obama get quid pro quo for canceling the defensive missile shield around Poland? About all I can see that he got was a declaration by Putin, that a first strike was still on the table if he was having a bad day.

So do I have confidence that Obama got us an on-site inspection too? Ah... no...

What’s more, will Putin’s crew have a GPS with them? Are they going to document the exact coordinates of our remaining nukes?

Honestly, I have no confidence with this administration whatsoever.

[Marine_Uncle]

As far as I am concern the shit has hit the proverbial fan.
Zero's team have far beyond reasonable argument moved beyond the limits of "safe diplomacy".
This clown and his handlers are either to naive in effect due to their long term indoctrinations in liberal wishy washy world views etc., put this Republic and really all our allies in a precarious situation, AND OR, it really is what many of us have preached about... the deliberate course to undermine this Republic's sovereignty and well being, and in essence safety. There is such little room to make excuses as to a possible naive attempt at making the world feel warm and cozy. One does not do that as a responsible leader of the free world.
If one produces the hard to defend argument that the Ruskie now feel un-secure if the Iranian supreme leader kicked the bucket, I would respond .... BS. Russia wants to do what it wants to do on the world stage. And they have a huge armory of nuclear weapons. So do we. But we have not ever suggested we would use them in a pre-emp fashion as far as I can see. in recent years. They play dangerous games. But ones they feel they can totally get away with now that the socialist is in power in the west.

[Tzimisce]

UnF**KING BELIEVABLE!

Remember not too many years ago when foreigners trying to look at our nukes was considered a crime?

[myknowledge]

The Russians can easily hide their warheads throughout the massive area of Siberia. No doubt about that.

[myknowledge]

We've been played for fools in four consecutive administrations, and it's sickening.

That's because of the traitorous leadership. Oh, I'd wish they were booted out by patriotic generals.

...they got lots of illegal inside information on our latest weapons systems (JSF and F-22) by cyber-espionage from China...

And they have the technology to develop their Gen 5 fighter, the Shenyang J-14, using stolen F-35 tech.

Oh no, oh no, Raptor pilots are going to have a bad time fighting this jet.

China and Russia are building up their military and the Obama is "leveling the playing field." Is this what he meant by "fundamentally changing America?" --------- Obama said: “I believe America’s free market has been the engine of America’s great progress. It’s created a prosperity that is the envy of the world. It’s led to a standard of living unmatched in history.------- Is he trying to "spread the wealth" around the world?------- Obama said: “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.”------- Yes, I believe this is what he means by fundamentally changing America.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

It would be “arrogant” of us to expect us to be able to inspect Russian nuclear sites while Obama is on his quest to become the most popular president EVA!!!

"The Russians have been inspecting Vandenberg AFB since the early 1970s as a result of the SALT Treaty. I know the inspections are reciprocal but I don't know which Russian sites we inspect. This is not a new concept......"

I saw a documentary many years ago about US Inspectors touring "cold war" Russian nuclear facilities.

So yes, this is not a new development. Personally, I like that the US and the Russian federation are keeping tabs on each others' nuke programs.

Why? Because they and us understand MAD. The problem is not with Russia or even China. The problem is with nuclear proliferation in countries like North Korea and Iran who just don't give a shit if they're children go 1,000,000 degrees.

They believe they will all go to some friggin paradise and be one with Allah. How many times do we need to hear Amanutjob preach about the 13th Imman that will bring about end times? The world is getting plain a** suicidal politically correct.

And that is why we should kill their leadership yesterday. They don't subscribe to MAD. Tactically nuke every North Korean missle site, and every thing Iran is building.

It's called survival.

When one American city goes up in nuclear flames, then will it be time? Many on these boards claim that NK or Iran or Syria can smuggle in a nuke and it be too late.

Got news: Every uranian enrichment or plutonium isotope has a particular signature. We WILL know where the bomb came from, no matter who they give or sell it to. And that's probably why they haven't attempted it yet.

WHEN it happens, we will nuke those fuckers into oblivion and they know it, even with the obambi puss in the WH. My worry is not NK, it's with the nutjobs in Iran who WANT Armageddon. We need to kill them now!

"The Russians can easily hide their warheads throughout the massive area of Siberia. No doubt about that."

The Russians nor the Chinese want to kill the golden goose, not to mention Tridents that will kill them.

Our worries are about North Korea, Iran, Syria, and others who just don't care. Time to take them ALL out.

Make me King of the World for (5) days, and they would cease to exist. Let the UN and the rest of the world community whine all they want - what could they do?

China nor Russia would attempt to launch against us. Think Trident retribution!!! MAD still works for them, but not the crazies in NK and Iran and others looking to build nukes. Kill them all now! And show the World that the US still has the balls to defend herself.

[A Navy Vet]

China nor Russia would [not] attempt to launch against us.
