The SCOAMF in another treasonous episode is looking at handing the faux commies in Russia, the keys to our defensive missile shield. Way to go moron.

Just another reason why this turd needs to be flushed in November.

Obama mulls giving Moscow data on missile defense

(Reuters) – The Obama administration disclosed on Tuesday that it is considering sharing some classified U.S. data as part of an effort to allay Russian concerns about a controversial antimissile shield.

The administration is continuing negotiations begun under former President George W. Bush on a defense technical cooperation agreement with Moscow that could include limited classified data, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Brad Roberts told a House of Representatives’ Armed Services subcommittee.

He gave no details on the sort of data that might be shared under such an agreement.

Russia strongly opposes the U.S.-engineered bulwark being built in and around Europe against ballistic missiles that could be fired by countries like Iran.

We’ve been handing our info over to the Russians for the past four years, despite the lack of reciprocity. If I were king for the day, I would have stopped handing over our information to them the very same year that they stopped.

I think the State Department screwed the pooch on this one. At least they finally got around to ending this crap.

Pathetic.

The United States said Tuesday it would no longer provide data to Russia on conventional weapons and troops in Europe, citing non-compliance by Moscow with a two-decade old treaty that governed the information exchange.State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters the United States will cease to observe the provisions of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe CFE.Adopted in November 1990, it was seen as a groundbreaking accord credited with greatly advancing global security. But Russia suspended its observance of the treaty in 2007.”This is an issue that we’ve been working on ever since the Russians withdrew,” Nuland told reporters.”After four years of Russian non-implementation and after repeated efforts… to save the treaty, we think it’s important to take some counter-measures vis-a-vis Russia,” she said.The US will now no longer accept Russian inspection of its bases.
