"As time goes on it gets harder (to wrap in Russia)," Tauscher said, "because the aperture to join this system will close eventually. It's not an infinite opportunity."
In other words Obama is saying Russia better learn the weaknesses of our missle defense systems now while he is still in charge.
hey look!
pre-planned treason
awesome
PING!
This is insane. He is giving away the telemetry. Russia will not keep this to themselves.
How does one even respond to this?!? Are there NO AMERICANS left in the entire frikking government? In the Department of Defense? Is there no one left to speak up for us?
I’ve been keeping a file called Shadow War for some time now. This falls into that catagory. So if you see it in the keywords, it’s me. Or you can add it yourself so I can keep track. Thank you.
Russia knows darn well that the US hasn’t, and can’t, deploy anything that would significantly weaken a mass assault by Russian missiles (other than by retaliation). This is so much Kabuki theater, and haven’t we been here before when US interceptors were going to be placed in Poland which was an ideal place to catch any onesy-twosy Iranian missiles?
I heard a report that a Minuteman test firing from Vandenberg was delayed in the 1970’s to allow a Soviet radar ship tp get on station and prepared. There was famous firing of two Minuteman missiles into Kwajalein, aimed and timed to arrive at the same time and same place 6000 miles later, staged for the benefit of Soviet observers.
It’s called intimidation.
This does not pass the smell test. Viewed from the perspective of fast and furious successes, even if it’s designed to achieve some unforseen advantage, it’s hard to believe things will end well.
