President Obama’s recent decision to drastically cut future military spending puts the United States in a weakened position vis-a-vis despot regimes and terrorist organizations who are always looking for gratuitous opportunities to attack U.S. interests, according to Congressman Allen West. West says that “there is a sense of weakness that we are conveying, and there is a window of opportunity that people like Iran are seeing.”

According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, Obama’s proposed cuts to the military budget “could shrink by over 30%” in the next decade-

The Administration projects outlays at 2.7% of GDP in 2021, down from 4.5% last year (which included the cost of Iraq and Afghanistan). That would put U.S. outlays at 1940 levels—a bad year. As recently as 1986, a better year, the U.S. spent 6.2% of GDP on defense with no detrimental economic impact.

“Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us,” Obama said.

Thank you Obama for enlightening us all that we only need to worry about nuclear tipped ICBMS launched from sufficiently large countries.

Boy, and I was so worried all those years about all the tiny nuclear missile submarines that are less than a city block long and less than 100 feet in diameter. I feel like a complete idiot

I feel so much safer now. Our president is such a genius, and so are the people who voted him into office.

Sooo,
If Hugo shoots off some missiles in to Overtown and Liberty City, is that a bad thing???

Colonel West speaks the truth.

Unfortunately I think it would take enemy missiles landing on a liberal icon before this government would take these threats seriously.
