The US secretly agreed to give the Russians sensitive information on Britain’s nuclear deterrent to persuade them to sign a key treaty, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week.

Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain’s policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.

Obama has no love for Britain...

[mancini]

OMG

[Gipper08]

If this is true then ...

[La Lydia]

Just when you think the BO administration’s judgment can’t get any worse....

[surfer]

How much more proof do we need?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Wikileaks will eventually be seen as the most devastating incident of espionage ever against the U.S. It will be decades before the entire impact to our diplomatic and espionage corps can be determined.

[DeathBeforeDishonor1]

Impeachment.

[surfer]

This is way beyond poor judgement...

[Diogenesis]

"Horrorshow! Drop off the information at the usual location."

[DTogo]

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

[aces]

Odds are the Brits agreed

[Reily]

That will really help the “Special Relationship”!

and the “smartest woman in the world” the SecState was cool with this ?

[bvw]

Free Pollard now, and jail Obama.

[GOPJ]

Wikileaks will eventually be seen as the most devastating incident of espionage ever against the U.S. It will be decades before the entire impact to our diplomatic and espionage corps can be determined.

Some are already thinking of us as a second rate power...

[Red in Blue PA]

POS

(I think that is what you meant)

[snowsislander]

This is important.

The Kenyan Clown and his circus are stabbing our great ally in the back. This is disgraceful behavior.

[fullchroma]

Gasp! Start impeachment hearing NOW.

[Red in Blue PA]

Then why did it take wikileaks to release it?

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Wikileaks will eventually be seen as the most devastating incident of espionage ever against the U.S. It will be decades before the entire impact to our diplomatic and espionage corps can be determined.

So who are you cheering on, the State Department and hte Administration or Wikileaks?

[stockpirate]
