This article is written by NeoCons so it is mis-info. So you may want to frame it as "giving our defense assets to the Russians", but the actual language is "technology exchanges".
I understand that Free Republic is a NeoCon website and most here toe the NeoCon line. Those here that aren't NeoCons are usually Isolationists. But I am a pragmatic realist so I don't agree with NeoCons and Isolationists.
So last year I supported START with the "exchange" language and still do. Like wise all the prominent Realists gave support. And that included all the living republican ex Secretaries of State, to include Kissinger, Schultz, Baker, Powell, and Rice.
As for a test ban treaty we will have to wait and see, but I will note that the State Dept is claiming that, as it is written now, Kissinger, Schultz and Scowcroft have signed off.
Kissinger, Schultz, Baker, Powell, and Rice.
It would be hard to compile a list of five people I distrust more than that one.
Their agenda reeks of evil. They have crippled the GOP Senate caucus by raising mountains of money to nominate internationalist trash to the Senate as "Republicans" and imagine (a desire for a steady diet of caviar, a love affair with baby-butchering, a lust for eugenics uber alles, their support for the "rights" of fudge-packers, their sashaying surrender monkey "foreign policy" and disarmament schemes and their purposeful impoverishment of most of America's population by sending their jobs anywhere but the USA) to be "realism."
Lawn tennis or tiddleywinks, anyone? I say! What a smashing good show!!!
Those philistine FReepers don't even want to fund Mr. Mapplethorpe's bullwhip up the wazoo photos!!! They are just not "realistic."
What you reference as "realism" is Alger Hiss, George McGovern, Bertrand Russell, Code Pink, Comrade O, Gore Vidal, Ramsay Clarke and their ilk, rolled up into a bundle on steroids.
If you don't care for a manly foreign policy, why are you here on FR???
Abrogate each and every treaty limiting or compromising US defense and prerogatives in any way whatsoever. Shut down the State Department altogether until it can be restored to the control of patriots. Remove the weasel from the White House. Conduct our foreign policy by the use of the Air Force and our Navy's ballistic missile submarines with maximum kill power and damage inflicted as necessary or as deemed desirable in this nation's interests with few American casualties or service personnel taken prisoner.
Not "technology exchanges" merely but "technology exchanges" designed to sell our nation down the river, to geld our military, to empower world government and Papa Bushie's "New World Order."
Is there some reason why conservatives should CARE what you believe????
