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.

This is insane.
Impeach him now if its possible.
Israel? England? Who could be next?
Think most of the ME doesn’t trust him after what he did to Egypt this week.
That's a very good point.
Any Repub senator who voted for this needs to be pushed out of office. This thing was bought and paid for with the betrayal of an ally.
If this does not fit a definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors”, then I am not sure what does.
selling out American allies and supporting radical muslims is what Obama is all about.
The American people were warned that Obama was going to harm every citizen for his own agenda. They voted for the illegal undocumented foreigner.
The Kenyan hustler, the Hawaiian fraud, the chi-town scum.
And yet, they supported him rather than McCain, OVERWHELMINGLY. And, I think Obama still enjoys very favorable popularity ratings in the UK.
Stupid is as stupid does. Bush would have walked or crawled over a mile of broken glass, barefoot and naked, before he'd betray the Brits. But, they still hated him.
They get what they ask for.
“Washington lobbied London in 2009 for permission to supply Moscow with detailed data about the performance of UK missiles. The UK refused, but the US agreed to hand over the serial numbers of Trident missiles it transfers to Britain.”
So? The Clintons were doing a pretty good job of selling our secrets to the Chinese.
There is no secret a liberal will not sell.
Error, error, forgot about the dung-beetle-in-chief’s birth certificate, his academic records, his passport, etc., etc.
Time to impeach his Kenyan ass.
Man, if this is true how many decades will it take to heal the rift?
If this is true, he should be imprisoned, not just impeached. If he comes to the UK he should be arrested. This man is disgrace.
If you betray our closest ally to a nation that routinely opposes our interests, you have committed treason against us.
I can’t believe the Brits were in the dark about this.
I think we have to keep in mind that Wikileaks isn’t privy to private phone calls, so who knows what was agreed on with whom.
Most of the time, they’re reporting one side of something, and it may not be the final ‘call’ on something....it could be an idea that was thrown out. Wiki is going to throw it out there and hope it causes chaos.
“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 part of group locked up at Russian airport // U.S. delegation stripped of passports as guards demand to inspect plane
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Monday, August 29, 2005
Author: Lynn Sweet, Sun-Times Washington Bureau chi
WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) were not allowed to leave a Russian airport Sunday and were locked in a room briefly.
The incident prevented their departure for about three hours, but Obama told the Sun-Times “it ended up not being a very big deal.”
The senators had their passports seized by local officials at an airport in Perm. Obama said the officials demanded, unsuccessfully, to inspect the DC-9 military aircraft being used by the congressional delegation for the trip.

Although he was on a first-time diplomatic mission, Obama has traveled extensively, spending part of his youth in Indonesia and visiting Kenya, where his father was born. He noted that as a back- packing college student he had “a lot less leverage than this time.”
Obama , a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Lugar, its chairman, left Wednesday for a trip to inspect sites where nuclear and biological weapons are slated to be destroyed in Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. On Sunday, the U.S. group was scheduled to fly from Perm to Kiev, Ukraine. But border guards wanted proof that the group’s aircraft — which Obama said looked like a “mini-Air Force One” — was really an official U.S. government plane, which would be exempt from an inspection.
Robert Gibbs, Obama ‘s spokesman traveling with him, said in an e-mail that “the border guards took our passports and demanded to inspect our aircraft, which we refused. We were moved to a room to wait.”
“At one point they were demanding to inspect virtually everything, including the gifts their representatives at the missile facility had given us.” The border guard said “they were acting on the authority of the FSB,” the Russian intelligence agency.

Psst! Hey Putin! Britain's got the bomb. Shhh!
Obama is making our friends enemies, and our enemies, friends.
Traitor.
B E T R A Y A L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is hilarious.
Yes. Impeachment.
You have quite a point there. The prez is also making it impossible for the USA to create a coalition if a replay of Gulf War I or Gulf War II becomes necessary.
