Pentagon plans to share missile secrets with Russia opposed by Republicans

[Jroc]

Obama's stupid reach out to Putin never ceases to amaze

The Pentagon held internal talks on declassifying sensitive missile defense technology that it plans to share with Russia as part of the Obama administration’s efforts to assuage Moscow’s opposition to European defenses.

Republicans in both the House and Senate plan to block any technology declassification for missile defense technology in the current defense authorization bill and other legislation. Legislative mark up on the authorization bill begins this week.

Critics say giving Russia classified data would undermine the effectiveness of missile defenses, which have cost taxpayers more than $100 billion since the 1980s.

Vice Adm. James Syring, director of the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency (MDA), disclosed during a congressional hearing Wednesday that the Obama administration has asked him about sharing sensitive missile defense data with Russia during talks over the past several years aimed at reaching a missile defense cooperation agreement.

“I have not been asked to declassify anything in terms of disclosing information to Russia,” Syring said under questioning from Rep. Mo Brooks (R., Ala.) at a House Armed Services Strategic Forces subcommittee hearing Wednesday.

However, pressed for details, Syring revealed that there were discussions among senior policy officials, including Undersecretary of Defense for Policy James Miller, about “what is classified and what is not” in the context of data sharing with the Russians

Obama is a fool, Putin will play this idiot for all he's worth

well....the kenyan did promise a more transparent government.

It only undermines the effectiveness of the missiles if you think the United States intents to use it's nuclear arsenal offensively against Russia. I'm opposed to sharing the information because it makes the system more effective overall (as we'll get similar information about Russian weapons platforms).

Is this part of the "Fundamental Change" Obama promised?

If they're declassifying it, it's not sensitive material. Once it's declassified it can be made available to anyone including the Russians. Sounds like someone is trying to create a story out of nothing.

His adminstration won't share documents regarding Benghazi with U.S. reps and senators, yet will give away our sensitive missile defense data with Russia. wtf

Sigh,

These are defensive missiles, we couldn't use them against Russia if we wanted to. You really need to stop reacting and try thinking just once in your pathetic little life.

Will the details actually undermine the effectiveness of the missle defense shield? I don't know enough to be able to address that issue, I don't have the clearance to form an intelligent and informed opinion. I do know from my experience with other things that the more you know about how something works, the easier it is to figure out a way to get around it. I honestly don't see how to get around a missile defense system, but that does not mean it is impossible.

Obama's been fucking up really bad lately...

It does seem that way.

I will point out that decisions to declassify information are not always made for the right reasons.

The entire purpose of having "defensive" missiles is so that you can launch a first strike without fearing the response.

I see you ignored my advice to think, now you sound like an idiot.

We do not have enough defensive missiles to prevent Russia from retaliating against us if we launch a first strike. It would be impossible to build a system that extensive unless we experience a major leap in technological ability. The purpose of these systems is to stop a single missile launched from a rogue nation, not a major war.

I wonder if they'll explain why they are declassifying that info.

You're the one who isn't thinking. The whole "single missile from a rogue nation" argument is what we've been claiming publicly for years. The Russians don't buy it, and for obvious reason: it's clearly nonsense.

We've spent 100 billion dollars on this technology, you don't just give it away to the friken Russians for free.. Get it? It doesn't make any sense, the only reason this information would be declassified is so we can give it to the Russians who are against us at every turn. What is it they help us with again? N Korea? Syria? Iran?

what an ignor...., excuse me..., a stupid reply, if you feeeel (think) the Russians will share equal info, i have a huge canyon in Northern Arizona i'll sell you.

right. When Mednedev and Obama had that exchange with microphone on....... Obama: Tell Putin I cannot do anything right now. After the elections I'll have more freedom to do it. This is what Mednedev was asking for. Our Missile defense technology is the last thing they need before executing the invasion of the USA by limited nuclear strike.

You see, before Hillary Clinton hit the reset button with Putin the Russians didn't have the locations of our nuclear missile sites - now they do - she gave them the grand tour. Before Barack Benghazi Obama became president the Russians had never been given a tour of NORAD. Now they have. The only thing the Russians didn't have was the technology to shut down our ability to react to a nuclear strike and now Benghazi Obama has given them that too! This is the endgame.

We are now standing in the final hours before Russia is going to execute a limited nuclear strike on the United States of America. Thanks, Obama.

I'm finished for today. Just could not let this thread go by without telling the Liberals that the day is coming when they will be apologizing profusely to the conservatives in this nation for having aided and abetted this criminal adminstration. It will be too late by then but nevertheless...... it's coming.
