Bush Sr. planned to include Russia in the PIO program

US President George W. Bush, in the nineties, was seriously considering the option of including Russia in the program of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SOI), also known as Star Wars, as a partner, reports RIA News With reference to the British newspaper The Telegraph.

According to the newspaper, "the Bush administration was ready to share strategic military technologies and defense systems with Moscow." The president planned to discuss this issue with Boris Yeltsin after meeting at Camp David in 1992, where the end of the Cold War was officially announced.

Washington believed that “Yeltsin has a completely new approach and a desire to cooperate, which the Americans wanted to use in order to benefit from better relations,” the newspaper quotes the former adviser to the British Prime Minister.

At that time, the British government expressed concern that such cooperation "may pose difficult issues for global security."

The author of the article also refers to later documents, which state that the White House “has moderated its ambitions” in terms of cooperation with Moscow in the field of strategic developments.

The publication reminds that the United States announced the creation of the PIO in 1983. The program involved the creation of a global missile defense system with space-based elements. The project was terminated at the stage of experimental development. He was considered obsolete and unnecessarily expensive.

to pull out all Russian successful projects, simply put, they wanted to buy all the intellectual bonzes in this direction with giblets, then they succeeded in that, many technologies and specialists went in pursuit of the golden calf ...

[Teberii]

Why is it sharing with that policy, all the scientists themselves left.

There could be only one goal - to tear money from the Union for this divorce. By the way, the merikos warriors somehow admitted themselves that they were "divorced" with this program)))

But Bush Sr., from then on, remains one of the most non-rooting US presidents, to this day.

They, and not without better relations, received advantages — one labeled, the other drunk, now we disentangle and we cannot disentangle their consequences.

US President George W. Bush in the nineties seriously considered the option of including Russia in the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) program, also known as Star Wars, as a partner,

Just because without our participation, the SDI program had no chance to come true.

According to the newspaper, "the Bush administration was ready to share strategic military technologies and defense systems with Moscow."

Yeah, by Disney cartoons in exchange for specific developments, which by that time had already left R&D in the stage of testing pre-production samples.

Only now, this partnership consisted in putting American vehicles into orbit. Bush the elder wanted to build an SOI on America’s alien hump. To shift the main costs to the Russian Federation, while not giving strategic control

In the USSR, not in the Russian Federation!

Americans laughed, relaxed, greedy (fortunately). Had a chance to crush Russia much stronger. Under the guise of cooperation.

they are still crushing, under the guise of a "great-power" doll .. With the help of a controlled by them, patriotic in words, sumular who actually strangles everything progressive and obediently keeps Russia in the degenerative impasse of the raw materials appendage.

[Hagalaz]

Of course they are crushing. No brainer. Only earlier there were more chances, they could take warm.

[astepanov]

And where is she, that same SOI? they will continue to tell us that they wanted to connect Russia to flights to another galaxy, to growing corn in Antarctica and building a bridge to the moon ...

[Old26]

Yeah !! This means that for almost 10 years this system was directed exclusively against the USSR, and when it became clear that for the most part it was not feasible, and even the amount exceeded the original, they decided to share it right away. Especially given the collapse of the USSR. It could be said simpler and more honestly - we wanted to buy developments in order to adapt for ourselves

With ours too. The system was "born" a hundred years earlier than its time

What, the Star Wars Bush did not look at, against the aliens was going to fight! Most likely I wanted to draw space technology with us, apparently they had them apparently at a low level, only in our time it became clear that the Americans did not fly to the moon. Until now, they have rode into space on our engines.

Most likely, so free, for free! Yelitsin, at that time, gave everything so simply for free when he drinks under!

[HMR333]

it’s in my opinion even nothing to discuss! let them eat this bullshit themselves!

Yeah ... and he had an approach and relationship, and like that of a tagged one.
still dissolve ladle ... and for a long time we will.

[Cannonball]

As far as I know, in the early 90s it was not Americans, but we had more advanced technologies for SDI. If not for Gorbachev, space would be ours. And without our permission, not a single satellite would fly in orbit.

[Selevc]

Yes, Americans and SDI built and flew to the moon as many as 7 times !!! But in reality - the first cartoons and the second Hollywood shootings ... And now Musk feeds the whole world with stories about Mars - are you tired of listening to this nonsense for decades? No one is tormented by the sickening urges from stories about the inventor inventing new rockets between parties and orgies in Silicon Valley?

Well, another generation of Pepsi who grew up on a blockbuster Star Wars believes in this nonsense - but where did the Soviet leadership look at the time? Ah guys, guys - threw you striped in the Moon race - threw and how !!!
