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.

[JimSEA]

I don't see anything on U. S. inspections of Russian sites. It must be there somewhere, no one could be this stupid without at least the cover of Russian promises of our inspections of their sites. Would they??

[C210N]

No, they wouldn't be THAT stupid. I presume they wouldn't be stupid enough to allow Iran to inspect US Nuke sites.

Or... Would they?

[GeronL]

Yes we can be that stupid. We scrapped plans for missile defense in Europe and asked for nothing in return didn’t we?

Russia is playing us like a drum.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Well, they have do have a man on the inside.

[Tenacious 1]

Last I checked there are still no give on sanctions for Iran and I missed the part where we were inspecting their military might.

Some of the story must have gotten cut off. There was nothing in there about the quid pro quo. A negotiation is generally about an exchange of something. What did our great leader get for us in return for our showing our privates.

You know, there for a while I was thinking that Hillary was smarter than this, but I was wrong. She is going along with this farce with eyes wide open. We are going to wake up one day soon surrounded, disarmed and defenseless.

[puppypusher]

If there is reciprocity in the inspection protocol,I have NO problems with the agreement.

[jagusafr]

Unfortunately, this isn’t new or even Democrat stupidity. We invited senior Chinese military officials to the Pentagon, basically gave them the keys to the kingdom and got nothing in return. Oh, sorry - at the unclassified level (for my buddies on the MI Ping List) they got lots of illegal inside information on our latest weapons systems (JTF and F-22) by cyber-espionage from China WHILE their senior officials were visiting the Pentagon.

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

Colonel, USAFR

we operate observation posts in Russia - every so oftem I see ad on Dice for EE’s who can deploy for 3 years and live
on an isolated post. whether they are for missile launch verification or nuclear material verification is unknown.

"there for a while I was thinking that Hillary was smarter than this"

Why? What possible reason would you have to think that, other than random hope?

[Ben Mugged]

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......

[blondee123]

Holy CRAP, what next!!!

[Lucky9teen]

This is yet another WTF story...

[JimSEA]

Even is the inspections are reciprocal, which may be the case, there is no indication as to what the Russians have given up in exchange for this “deepening” of penetration in America. Also, any agreement with Russia alone ignores the very real problems in China and the emerging nuclear powers. These are not new objections either.

[bustinchops]

This is just beyond the pale.

[autumnraine]

How can anyone not think Obama is deliberately destroying America?

What is it going to take???

[boxlunch]

Rhetorical question - When does this get to the point where it is considered treason? Who decides when the line has been crossed that an administration is working with the enemy to undermine our national security? (I mean beyond just our opinion as conservatives, - to the point where serious steps must be taken?)

[darkangel82]

It’s far past that point now.

[JSDude1]

Kidding, right..?
