And my guess would be that Russia has paid for it. Thus, nobody forced you to do anything my friend.

You're missing the point entirely...

Russia can barely keep their army fed, I doubt
they contracted us to secure their nuclear facilities
and we made a profit.

What don't you guys advocate having free markets and running a capitalist system? That's how it works, someone else can do it better well then you pay them to do it for you. I dont see you going around making your own operating system for your computer or assembling the airbag system for your car, you let other people do it, and there's a good chance those people are foreign. You guys are just trying to belittle the russian, it's that superiority complex you people suffer from that always manifests itself 'subtly'.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, the US government made agreements with the authorities in those states to assist in the securing and tracking of weapons grade fissile materials and weapons systems.

This article does nothing but say that they are ahead of their original schedule.

Yet you make it sound like some huge incident.

It is neither overly newsworthy, nor is it some huge blast on the capabilities of the Russian government. The US offered its services to the Russians freely well over a decade ago.

I understand all that, but I was referring to keeping the nukes out of terrorists' hands...

It's no secret that since USSR's collapse that the area needed help to keep their nukes from going 'missing' during the chaos of change...

It's not a superiority complex, it's a responsibility!

I wasn't trying to belittle them. Just I don't
like that we have to pay to secure Their nuclear
material. I highly doubt we got payed for it.

It does benefit us thou since they have a bad time
accounting for their material... Just surprised
we had to secure ALL of their Navy's bases with
nukes on them. Very sloppy of them to not be able
to secure the weapons they made.

It's even better if Russia didn't pay for it.
