Foreign Policy

After decades of tolerating them, China and Russia have kicked the CIA's NGO rabble-rousers out.

The US gave the Soviet Union the technology to produce multiple-warhead nuclear missiles.
"In 1972, the United States government authorized the sale to the USSR of the crucial technology for manufacturing MIRVed nuclear warheads. These were missiles on which one rocket could launch at least 10 warheads against 10 separate targets. To do this, a country had to have ball bearing production, and the Soviet Union did not have it. But the United States government authorized the one company in the West that possessed this technology to sell it to the Soviet Union. This enabled the Soviet Union to escalate its threat against the United States to match the United States' threat against the Soviet Union. This was national policy. The public never knew this."
I guess not.

I wonder if the Clinton email scandal will hurt all Democrats. That's one reason Obama might not want to use the FBI to undermine her. Another reason is he doesn't want the FBI to expose corruption in his administration, undermining him. I doubt his antipathy toward the Clintons is so great he would undermine his own cause.
