LONG-RANGE UKRAINIAN MISSILES SOLD TO CHINA AND IRAN

BBC:

Ukrainian arms dealers smuggled 18 nuclear-capable cruise missiles to Iran and China in 1999-2001, Ukraine's prosecutor-general has said. The Soviet-era Kh-55 missiles - also known as X-55s - have a maximum range of 2,500km (1,550 miles). They are launched by long-range bombers. Official Ukrainian state bodies were not involved in the sales, the prosecutor-general's office said. It added that the missiles were not exported with nuclear warheads. The Kiev Court of Appeals is examining the case, and "a few Ukrainian and Russian citizens are suspects," the statement said. [...] Ukrainian First Deputy Defence Minister Leonid Polyakov said there were no indications yet that any Ukrainian Defence Ministry officials were involved in selling the missiles. And Ukraine's State Export Control Service said it did not authorise any sales of long-range cruise missiles to Iran or China.

These missiles are long-range - AND NUKE-WARHEAD READY!
And they were sold during Kuchma's reign of terror.

I WONDER: Could they REALLY have been sold by smugglers unconnected to Kuchma - (Putin's puppet) - and by Kuchma and Kuchma's henchmen without Putin's approval?! I DOUBT IT! It'd be like someone in Iraq selling missiles during Saddam's reign; it would've never happened that way.

YUP: that means that I think that Kuchma and Putin are involved. Don't laugh:

Putin has increased Russia's coziness to China's military; they now have joint training exercises! And Putin has approved ALL the Iran nuke deals.

I bet that the discovery of these long-range missile deals was made possible ONLY because Yuschenko beat the hand-picked successor to Kuchma - Yanukovich.

I SAY: Yuschenko must appoint a new prosecutor and independent investigator, then - if Yuschenko's investigation of the sale of these long-range missiles reveals that Kuchma was indeed involved - we need to seriously consider trade sanctions against the USSR - I mean Putin's Russia.
