‘We gave you uranium, you repaid us by bombing Belgrade’ | Putin

When we talk about the Hillary Clinton and Russian company Uranium One transaction, we mostly meant to expose the hypocrisy behind the Deep State Democrat faction’s RussiaGate “election meddling.” It turns out, there’s something more.
Russia was actually helping the US obtain fuel for the latter’s  nuclear power stations, as part of the nuclear disarmament treaties that both countries signed, about 3 decades ago.
In short, the Uranium One-Clinton transaction was actually part of a peaceful engagement by the Russians towards the West, so that the world will experience the peaceful use of nuclear power, as both China and Russia are now helping other countries to have their own nuclear energy programs, too.
For Putin to expose these details could only mean one thing, i.e. he’s really going all the way now, sans standard intergovernmental protocols. Disrespect begets disrespect. The multiple diplomatic assassinations and embassy raids in the US have finally broken the camel’s back.
Vladimir Putin has criticized the US for failing to keep their end of the bargain in a host of international disarmament agreements. He says Moscow will not exit any existing treaties, but promised an “instant, symmetrical response” if Washington decides to quit first.
‘US decided to do away with international law’
Speaking during a Q & A session at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, an annual meeting with international journalists and Russia experts, Putin began by recalling the Megatons to Megawatts program, which ran between 1993 and 2013, and saw Russia downblend enriched uranium from the equivalent of about 20,000 of its nuclear warheads into low-enriched uranium to be used as fuel by US power stations.
Putin said that as part of what he called “one of the most effective disarmament efforts in history,” US officials made 170 visits to top secret Russian facilities, and “set up permanent workplaces in them adorned with American flags.”
 “From the Russian side unprecedented openness and trust were demonstrated,” said Putin, saying that through the 1990s, about 100 US officials were entitled to carry out surprise inspections of Russian nuclear facilities, as part of Gorbachev and Yeltsin-era agreements.
“What we got in return is well-known – a complete disregard for our national interests, support for separatism in the Caucasus, a circumvention of the UN Security Council, the bombing of Yugoslavia, the invasion of Iraq, and so on. The US must have seen the state of our nuclear weapons and economy and decided to do away with international law.”
‘They have no money for disarmament, but we do?’
Putin said that Washington’s hostile policies “are returning the relationship between the two countries to the 1950s” though noted that at least during the Cold War “there was at least more mutual respect” between the two superpowers.

“We can’t actively participate in several international treaties, because the US is not doing anything itself. We can’t just do it unilaterally,” said Putin, citing the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, as an example of the US taking advantage.
Last month, Russia declared that all its chemical weapons stockpiles had been disposed of – news that Western media “decided to stay silent on,” according to Putin – while the US has persistently delayed its own destruction schedule, and now plans to complete the process in 2023 at the earliest.
“We destroyed everything, and then our American partners said – ‘Not yet, we don’t have money.’ So, they have a dollar printing press, yet they don’t have money. But we, on the other hand, do?” said Putin with heavy sarcasm.
‘We will fulfill our obligations’
Putin dated a key point in the breakdown of the post-Soviet world order to the US decision to withdraw from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM) in 2002, during George W. Bush’s first term in office, to pave the way for the construction of the missile defense shield, to which the Kremlin continues to object vehemently.
“This treaty was the cornerstone of the entire international security framework in the area of strategic weapons. But despite spending years trying to persuade our colleagues otherwise, we weren’t able to hold our partners inside the agreement,” said Putin.

US President Donald Trump has criticized another treaty between Russia and the US that is still in force – New START. Signed in 2011 through to 2021, it stipulates that both sides are allowed to have up to 1,550 active nuclear warheads. Trump called it out as poor Obama-era deal in his campaign, and reportedly was annoyed with the Russian president for bringing it up in a phone conversation earlier this year.
“We are hearing that the other side is also not pleased with New START,” Putin said. “We are not going to quit it. Maybe we are ourselves dissatisfied with certain aspects of it, but there is always an element of compromise. So, we are going to fulfil our obligations.”
‘Instant and symmetrical response’
The treaty under the biggest threat is the INF, signed in 1987, which bans land-based missiles – both nuclear and conventional – with ranges between 500-5,500 km. The US has said that several of the latest Russian rockets violate the agreement.

Putin bemoaned that by not banning air-based and naval launchers the treaty allowed a loophole beneficial predominantly to NATO states, and said that it represented “another case of Russia making unilateral concessions.”
“Nonetheless, we are going to comply with its terms providing our partners do so,” Putin said. “If they decide to abandon it, however, our response will be instant and symmetrical.”
‘Others talk about nuclear disarmament when they develop newer weapons’
While Putin insisted that Russia “still wants and will pursue” new agreements with the US to achieve nuclear disarmament, these may be harder to negotiate in an era of more diverse weapons systems, being produced more states than ever before.

“Countries’ readiness to talk about getting rid of nuclear weapons is in direct proportion to their advances in other weapons systems,” said Putin, noting that both conventional and high-tech weapons delivered with modern targeting systems “offer almost as much damage, with far superior accuracy.”
“We are carefully monitoring what is happening around the world, just as our own country is acquiring these non-nuclear weapons system,” Putin said.

  1. This just goes to show Trump’s desire at the beginning of his term of office – to employ good relations with Russia was a good thing. The Obama administration has done more damage for the US reputation and among those in the current administration it appears they are still at it. CLinton & Obama have a lot to answer to.

  2. “US officials were entitled to carry out surprise inspections of Russian nuclear facilities” This is what JFK tried to bargain israel for…and got killed for it.
    Also, whenever someone reads the words “washington dc” or “merkel”, they should read ISRAEL.

  3. Are there STILL people that actually BELIEVE that the USA and Russia are ENEMIES???
    BOTH countries are RUN by the SAME bankers! FAKE JEW Khazarian Mafia! As such are ALL involved with the SSP (Elysium style space program) controlling the planet via the “Babylonia Slave Money System” of STOLEN Wealth.
    BOTH parties have been to Antartica trying to cover up what THERE to the sleeping public of their respective countries…BUT, People are starting to “Awaken” about THEM…and about the REAL Jews and WHO they Still Are…BLACK PEOPLE…Representing the 12 tribes of “Scattered” Israel.

    1. I would be interested in hearing more about Black people being the original Jews. I have read that The Ark of The Covenant is housed in Tigray, Ethiopia and that the people of Ethiopia are Black. That might suggest that what you are saying about the original Jews being Black might have some validity. What research have you done to state your case.

  4. “…they have a dollar printing press..”
    Oooohh that has got to hurt. Bless this man 🙂

  5. There are no original Jews. Jew is a modern term
    There are only Hebrew and Israelites and they were Arab
    If there was an Exodus then some went up the Nile and took their religion to Ethiopia
    hence the Falasha Jews – Black
    There is the Solomon Sheba connection
    Note: Solomon lived in South West Arabia not where is modern day Jerusalem
    History all screwed up
    Israelis are not Israelites and should go home

  6. Omg ! Dam racest devils stop it ! The edomites fake Jews were pushing this they pay for this the Bible clearly says Ethiopian Jews not the whole black race is stupid don’t mention know weathers today anyway DNA evidence proves this also
