WikiLeaks cables: US agrees to tell Russia Britain's nuclear secrets

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 says we can absorb one nuclear hit.

idiot.

I hope the UK cuts off diplomatic relations with the Obama regime. He deserves it.

This SHOULD become a major crisis.

[jstolzen]

NO response from the Republicans?!!

This is TREASON of the highest order, and what do we hear?

</crickets>

Assuming “most” of the system is corrupt, surely there are ONE or TWO Patriotic Americans left in the Congress or Senate who would be..ohhhh..just a LITTLE concerned about this? You know..enough to begin Hearings or, better yet, Impeachment Proceedings?

[Frantzie]

This just happened recently. How does Wikileaks get something that just happened? Someone had said Wiki Leaks is CIA.

[marron]

I think this is a two-fer. Obama has betrayed the Brits, and there is no way our Secretary of State can claim ignorance.

I think the fallout from this is going to do damage all the way round.

[submarinerswife]

So who are you cheering on

He's right.

[GeronL]

David Cameron would be smart to expel all US diplomats right now. He’d get a huge boost in the polls too.

[444Flyer]

Obama is destabilizing our nation and the entire planet at lightning speed.

[TexasCajun]

I've not been to the Wikileaks site but one thing I've been wondering is if there is any information regarding the third terrorist in the OKC bombing as reported in Jayna Davis', The Third Terrorist: The Middle East Connection to the Oklahoma City Bombing .

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

This, while he is openly trying to bring down Mubarak.

[GeronL]

This is the kind of thing that should have an extreme close up of Obama on the front pages of the Daily Mail and Sun with blaring headlines like “Bastard!”.

[JSDude1]

Unbelievable: If true OBAMA is the most anti-American (and dangerous) President we have EVER had-he is a traitor!

[SgtHooper]

It is time for MI-5 and MI-6 to act. God’s speed!

[GlockThe Vote]

That’s what he wants!

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

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.

Obama dissed Israel and now this. Egypt,START, ObamaCare,New Black PanthersDOJGate, will be Obama's Jimmy Carter, Obama's potato. Obama's WaterGATES. He will still campaign and fake like he is thriving some more but if he still runs in 2012 we will be in armaggedon.

[Hardraade]

Yeah, well, rail against Assange, but it’s Manning’s doing, and he had help. From rather close to Obama, I think.

[RinaseaofDs]

I used to be very against the freeing of Pollard. In light of this, if you’re an ally of the US, why wouldn’t you be spying on us?

[firebrand]

This one actually brought tears to my eyes.

[SecondAmendment]

What about the Senators who ratified the agreement ?

Do you think the House will do their duty and put them on trial for impeachment ?

Will the house convict the Republican Senators who ratified the treaty ?

If impeached, will the involved senators vote to convict themselves ?

[Tolsti2]

START itself is brutal, but man this hurts.
