the U.S. Department of energy shared plans to exclude Russia and China from the market of nuclear technologies. In the document, which is presented to Donald Trump, says that the United States should become a major player in this market. “MK” asked the experts to rate these ambitions.
among the first steps the US Department of energy proposes to interfere with nuclear deals Russia and China with the countries of Eastern Europe, Africa, and also to refuse to import nuclear fuel manufactured in Russia and China.
said the Chairman of the Presidium of all-Russian organization “Officers of Russia” Sergei Lipov, the tactics the US is to spoil Moscow and Beijing. “Break – not to build, but in this situation, from this position States the benefits will not be”, – he said.
In turn, member of the Supreme Council of the Nationwide movement of “Strong Russia,” the FSB General Alexander Mikhailov told “MK” that is not surprised by the U.S. position.
– Americans have been puzzled by this topic since the creation of the Soviet Union nuclear bombs, the General said. They then lost the rest. They understand that priorities in weapons systems and new technologies is not for them. And so long as I can remember, the Americans are trying to oust us from this market.
According to the expert, to press Russia in the nuclear field to States is unlikely: “While our nuclear technology is quite effective, productive, we have major breakthroughs in this area.”
Speaking about the methods which are Americans, he cited the events of 1994.
-I remember them as well. Then, in relation to Russia has undertaken provocative attempts to prove that we have no control over their fissile material. And here at Dusseldorf airport in Germany on Board the aircraft of airline “Lufthansa”, allegedly found 6 grams of weapons-grade plutonium. Began a terrible howl, because the Board seems to have arrived from Russia.
I participated in all negotiations on this issue. We Germans persistently explained that nothing like this can not be. They con themselves and show the world that in Germany there is a black market of fissile materials. The upshot of all this for the Germans sad. The management of intelligence and counterintelligence of Germany was forced to resign. Because it was a clear provocation with the aim to prove that Russia does not control their nuclear stockpiles.
moreover, Americans in the year oborzeli so that offered to take control of the CIA all nuclear facilities in Russia. Allegedly, with the purpose of prevention of distribution in the world of nuclear fissile materials. Therefore these statements US Department of energy not surprised.
Provocation – Yes, it is possible, but to honest way to oust Russia from the nuclear market is, I think, the US is unlikely to succeed.
