Putin slights Hillary; no mention of key Obama-Clinton effort to assist Russian hypersonic missile program
In his annual address to Russian lawmakers this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia now has a hypersonic nuclear missile which renders American defenses “useless.” In the strongest hint yet of the veracity of FBI Director James Comey’s scientific assessment that Putin “hates” Hillary Clinton, Putin did not mention the failed candidate even once. A shocking snub, considering her role in fostering the project.
In 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recruited dozens of experts from American technology giants like Cisco, GE and Google to help Russia build its own Silicon Valley in Skolkovo, outside Moscow. The companies enthusiastically lent their expertise to Russia in exchange for entry into Russian markets. Coincidentally, Hillary Clinton’s foundation then received tens of millions of dollars in donations from these very same companies.
In 2012, the US Army found that the Skolkovo initiative had launched its first major military effort: to develop hypersonic missiles.
In 2014, James Comey’s own FBI warned US technology firms that the Russian military had co-opted the program and had begun to apply the transferred technologies to defeat American missile defense systems. At this point, Comey offered no opinion on Putin’s psychological assessment of Hillary Clinton. Presumably, Putin was ok with Hillary’s program at the time.
Putin gives the backhand to Obama’s nuclear-free delusion
During Putin’s address, he unveiled a video depicting a mighty Russian warhead hurtling unstoppably toward Florida. His new ICBM travels at speeds many times that of American defense missiles. “Missile defense systems will be useless against it,” he bellowed. “Nobody listened to us. Well listen to us now!”
He clearly wasn’t listening to Obama at the Nuclear Summit in 2009. There, Obama told the world that the US will lead the way in reducing nuclear arms, and then the community of nations will follow. Soon, we will achieve Obama’s youthful dream of a nuclear-free world.
This is the second-most destructive dream American voters foisted upon us by electing Obama; the first being the dream he got from his insane, Marxist, polygamous father.
Here’s Obama’s rationale for unilaterally disarming in a dangerous world, in 2009:
It’s naïve for us to think that we can grow our nuclear stockpiles, the Russians continue to grow their nuclear stockpiles, and our allies grow their nuclear stockpiles, and that in that environment we’re going to be able to pressure countries like Iran and North Korea not to pursue nuclear weapons themselves.
Obama’s plan involved reducing the number of US nuclear warheads from 5,100 to 1,500, while allowing Russia to set other limits it thought acceptable for both countries. While Russia, China, North Korea and others upgraded their systems, Obama froze our systems, presumably in the name of fairness for countries not called America.
After pursuing this policy, not a single nation followed Obama’s lead, especially Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. Putin’s announcement is only the latest in a series of international actions exposing Obama’s dangerous nuclear delusion.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated publicly that he misses the Obama administration. So why is it so hard for President Putin to acknowledge his debt to Hillary?
