→Missile defense
Putin warned that the Russians do not view the missile defense system as a defensive system - at all.<ref>https://youtu.be/kqD8lIdIMRo </ref> The system has the capability of a first strike launch to destroy the entire Russian land based nuclear arsenal when it's based on Russia's borders. Deployment would be provocative. President Obama, after decades of trashing Ronald Reagan as a reckless nuclear war hawk for his Star Wars fantasy and Baby Bush for reigniting the Cold War, ignored Putin's warning and deployed the missile defense system in Romania.<ref>http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/218188</ref> This was done, the administration said, to guard against Iranian nukes, despite the fact Obama said it would be at least 13 years before Iran had a nuke in the recently completed Iran nuke deal. Putin responded by stationing Iskander missiles (SS-26s in NATO nomenclature) in [[Kaliningrad]]. Flight time of this nuclear tipped warhead is two minutes to Warsaw, leaving NATO functionally with no warning.<ref>http://observer.com/2016/10/obama-blows-off-putin-encouraging-kremlin-aggression-against-nato/ </ref>

===Obama/Clinton Russian Reset===
{{See also|Uranium One bribery scandal|Clinton Foundation conflicts of interest}}
President [[Barack Obama]] and Secretary of State [[Hillary Clinton]] cozied up to Putin, charging the Bush administration was intent on reigniting the [[Cold War]]. [[Michael McFaul]] was the architect of the Obama/Clinton “Russian Reset”, that eventually led McFaul to becoming the Ambassador to Russia.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/29/world/europe/29envoy.html</ref> The Rosatom-Uranium One deal allowed the [[Clinton Foundation]] to pocket millions of dollars from Putin cronies in donations and speaking fees.
In "Resetting" relations with [[Russia]], Secretary Clinton gave approval to a deal that allowed a Russian government enterprise to control one-fifth of all [[uranium]] producing capacity in the [[United States]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150509041803/http://nypost.com/2015/04/26/charity-watchdog-clinton-foundation-a-slush-fund Charity watchdog: Clinton Foundation a ‘slush fund’], Isabel Vincent, ''New York Post'', 26 April 2015</ref> [[Rosatom]], the Russian company, acquired Uranium One, a Utah [[uranium]] mining company owned by a [[Canadian]] firm run by [[Frank Giustra]] (pron. ''Ju-stra''). Giustra is a Friend of Bill (FOB) and member of the Clinton Foundation Board. The transaction required Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's approval.Giustra then donated over $130 million to the Clinton family non-profit foundation.<ref>[https://www.clintonfoundation.org/about/board-directors Board of Directors | Clinton Foundation], www.clintonfoundation.org</ref><ref>http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2015/04/23/more-clinton-foundation-cronyism-the-deal-to-sell-uranium-interests-to-russia-while-hillary-was-secretary-of-state/</ref>
[[File:2015-08-07-d47f891b large.jpg|left|350px|thumb|Some of the details of the Uranium One deal and "the future of the energy industry" were worked out in a private meeting between Bill Clinton. Frank Giustra, and Kazatomprom President Moukhtar Dzhakishev in Chappaqua, New York on February 27, 2007. The 'Russian Reset' was necessary to complete the deal.]]
Rosatom, the world's leading builder of [[nuclear power plant]]s, built [[Iran]]’s [[nuclear reactor]] in Bushehr. With the purchase of Uranium One, Rosatom also bought the uranium exploration rights in [[Arizona]], [[Colorado]], and [[Utah]].<ref>http://www.defenddemocracy.org/media-hit/moscows-american-uranium/</ref>
Syrian president [[Bashar al-Assad]] in May 2010 discussed with Russian President [[Dmitry Medvedev]] the possibility of Rosatom building nuclear power plants in [[Syria]].<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/russia-syria-medvedev-idUSLDE64A14S20100511</ref>
According to the ''[[New York Times]]'',
{{quotebox-float|Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the [[Obama]] [[White House]] to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.<br>
And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the [[Kremlin]] that was promoting Uranium One stock.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?_r=0</ref> }}
