According to a leaked Russian memo obtained by POLITICO, Russian President Vladimir Putin used the Helsinki summit with President Trump to push heavy for new talks on arms control deals going forward.
The details were leaked in a document entitled “Dialogue on the Issue of Arms Control,” with Russian officials saying that Putin shared the contents with President Trump. It is believed that not all administration officials were privy to this.
Putin, however, has been very clear about wanting to get started on new arms treaty talks. In particular, he noted that to get an extension of START would require talks to begin almost immediately, if they are to have any chance of being finished in time.
The White House declined to comment specifically on the leak, but noted that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) had hand-delivered a letter to Putin’s representative in Moscow, which suggests this may be related to the process.
Russian officials were less happy, with a spokeswoman for Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov complaining about the leaks, and saying they aren’t clear how Russia can possibly talk to the US when they can’t keep even the content of negotiations secret.
The reason this was leaked is because the unelected government is full of anti-Trump, anti-detente warmongers.
Yes,Putin we’ll talk about arms reduction as soon as we’ve completed our first launch of our newest nuclear weapons that, will be hovering in space’s orbit ready to be launched at Mach speeds unable to be stopped or detected by any defense mechanism . It’s funny the Russians showcase there weapons and, simulate an attack on Florida with these weapons than ,want an arms reduction when they realize we’ve been preparing for this all along and, have new weapons that are in testing phase of our own. If we’ve got these new nuclear weapons and Russia didn’t know about them and Russia has there’s and we know about them who can’t keep there big mouths closed. Russia showing the world your weapons doesn’t scare America, it just helps the people that want to destroy your country by giving them a reason to build up .It had a reverse affect because Putin is the one asking for a reduction because ,he understands what America is developing and knows they’re will be no way to stop it. Go Space Force!!!
It sounds to me just the opposite. It is urging US not to delay and then complain about Russia’s weapons. And the morons in Congress will not let Trump go ahead with Space Force, as they need all the money on their addictjon to regime change and Soros operatikns we pay for. They need money to continue supplying bases with outrageously priced supplies, and giving Musk billions for his space scams. All Trump wants is some defence money to be focused on space as se are getting seriously behind. We nusy ordered a new batch of Russian old model rocket engine R-180, as se cannot put heavy Atlantis rocket up carrying military satelites. We cannot touch Mach 10 Kinzhal now about a year in operation in Russia. Ne er mind the Mach 20 MIRV vehicles now being tested. All Russia wants is withdrawal of our subs to distance not threatening their mainland, thus a new strategjc treaty. If we wait too much longer, their Poseidon class drone subs will be scouring the depths of oceans insuring that those subs move to a decent distance. Trump is xealing with overconfident idiots, but cannot be blamed for trying. The thing threatening Florida is the least of his problems.
Space X’s next concept rocket BFR can go around the earth in 30 minutes and is a concept America’s military is considering aswell, as the X37-B measuring the position for the pre-positioned floating fortress that will be hovering in space.Russia is counting on hypersonic missiles launched from Earth,America is developing a hypersonic missile system launched from space guess we’ll see who blinks. Arms reduction Putin I don’t think so,America’s just getting started…
The US is a joke. It can’t even make a decent fighter jet anymore. Putin hasn’t blinked. He has been asking for this for a long time. The US is insane and thinks it can bully Russia and maintain its sole superpower status. It isn’t going to happen. You are an idiot. You actually the believe the US is going to “win” a nuclear war with Russia. Is that really your position?
No my position was very clear but,I don’t expect a moron like you to understand my perspective .There’s no winners in a nuclear war and, all America is doing is preparing for the prospect of one. Why would America position themselves in a losing position when, it can surround and, develop a system that makes it clear an attack on our country will leave our adversaries country completely annihilated.The only difference between us and them is we don’t showcase ours because,we’re not afraid like some supposedly powerful nations..
Space should be used for peaceful exploration only, Uncle Sam, not for raining down nukes on Russia (a country that just wants peace, not war); surveillance satellites should be for that purpose only. The Pentagon must stay out of space, that’s NASA’s priority; and NASA must do what it’s been doing since its inception at around 1960; that is, sending probes to other planets and preparing for eventually sending astronauts to Mars. The Pentagon’s allowed to test missiles, but not to turn satellites into nuclear bombers.
Poor uncle sam has not listened to Putin’s speech on March 1, 2018 and taken notice. Don’t be cocksure about the wonderful capacities you claim for the US spending. Just for interest, read again:

That didn’t actually happen you should read”Fake Russian EW attack unmasked “by George Leopold in Defense Systems article.Don’t you know Russia’s been lying about its capabilities for years. SMH….The manufacturer of Russia’s so called electronic bomb Rostech even denied the incident occurred. Spare me the alternative facts.
You choose to believe that-your loss. I suppose you believe in the Russian interference in “your elections”, the Skripal poisoning, the annexing of Crimea, the Russians all cheating in every Olympic Games, Bill Browder the kind, honest businessman, Lyndon Johnson and the attack on the poor Amerin ship in the Tonkin Gulf, even the single bullet for JFK. Dream on, uncle sam, the world loves you. Bibi will be delighted too.
How can the U.S. expect anything but leaks with 16 intelligence agencies
Vice President Mike Pence is at Pentagon right now discussing America’s new Space Force!!! I wonder what that’s all about? Hey Bianca weren’t you just saying that could never happen? I’m actually watching CNN right now and listening to Vice President Mike Pence speak about it right now. O,Bianca predictions that never come true…S.M.H…
This should hardly be secret, since Pres. Putin has been suggesting this for at least 14 years when GWBush moved the US out of ABM Treaty and others.
