Obama White House Reviving Russian Nuke Deal That Bush Scrapped |
2010-05-08 |
The Obama administration is preparing to revive a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with Moscow that then-President George W. Bush angrily canceled two years ago after Russia invaded Georgia, administration officials said Thursday. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter. One of the officials said the deal would be submitted to Congress for approval soon. The State Department declined to comment. The deal would allow the two countries to exchange nuclear energy technology, engage in joint commercial nuclear power ventures and collaborate on nonproliferation goals. |

#2 How else are they going to pay for their arsenal? It's already two and a half times the size of ours. |

#1 Great. Once again, the American taxpayer gets to subsidize the Russian nuclear program. |
