The Russians specifically are seeking a defense technology cooperation deal with the Pentagon that will permit them to gain access to U.S. hit-to-kill missile defense know-how, the key technology for the most current strategic long-range and tactical short-range defenses that were developed at a cost of billions of taxpayer dollars over the past two decades.The reason, the officials said, is that Moscow knows it can offer very little in the way of cooperative missile defense with the U.S. The current strategic anti-missile interceptors around Moscow are armed with nuclear warheads — tactical weapons that Moscow is not expected to use against an Iranian missile attack.That's because the Russians don't expect to be receiving any Iranian missile attacks. Hell, they'll probably sell the tech to Tehran the first chance they get.
And yes, Ace, the appeal of not voting for Romney (or even Palin) diminishes when confronted with this basic fecklessness in the one area the President has total control.
