Fox "News" propaganda

I’d say that, given the provenance of the story that that is exact;y what it is - a “red scare” - and not to be taken seriously.


it has been given wide coverage by the "conservative' press.

If anything, the signs are there that the US has Russia in its sites and the dangers of a new cold war are real.

RED SCARE: Obama Plans to Share Nuke Secrets with Russia

Fox News,

5 January, 2012

President Obama signaled Congress this week that he is prepared to share U.S. missile defense secrets with Russia.

In the president’s signing statement issued Saturday in passing into law the fiscal 2012 defense authorization bill, Mr. Obama said restrictions aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on U.S. Standard Missile-3 velocity burnout parameters might impinge on his constitutional foreign policy authority.

As first disclosed in this space several weeks ago, U.S. officials are planning to provide Moscow with the SM-3 data, despite reservations from security officials who say that doing so could compromise the effectiveness of the system by allowing Russian weapons technicians to counter the missile. The weapons are considered some of the most effective high-speed interceptors in the U.S. missile defense arsenal.

There are also concerns that Russia could share the secret data with China and rogue states such as Iran and North Korea to help their missile programs defeat U.S. missile defenses.
