“Russia is doubling their nuclear arsenal? Well you can count on an Lord Foul responding decisively.........he’ll order that America’s be cut in half!”

So no net change in the number of nukes (at least according to Common Core math).

Well that will keep the world JUST AS SAFE as it is now, based on Cruz supporters that are trying to get a brokered convention to nominate a leftist Republican who will then lose in a landslide to Hillary.

...but all is fine! LOL.

How Russia arms America's southern neighbors

Ioan Grillo
May 9, 2014

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.

Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.

Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia Boosts Arms, Training for Leftist Latin Militaries

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

February 20, 2015

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

Russia Ramping Up Military Drills to Cold War Levels, NATO Says

Feb 5, 2016 - FoxNews.com

Russia has stepped up its military maneuvers to a level unseen since the height of the Cold War, according to a new report released by NATO Thursday.

Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance's secretary general and author of the report, noted that Moscow has conducted at least 18 large-scale exercises over the past three years, "some of which have involved more than 100,000 troops."

Those exercises included several simulated nuclear attacks against NATO allies and partner nations ..."

Trump accused of Putin favors with NATO criticism

By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos
FoxNews.com
March 25, 2016

Donald Trump once again is being accused of giving Vladimir Putin a helping hand, on the heels of the Republican presidential front-runner’s tough NATO criticism.

After the billionaire businessman criticized the alliance earlier this week as expensive and “obsolete,” his political foes noted that any pull-back from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which was created in 1949, would be greeted as welcome news in Moscow.

“That would be a massive victory for Putin and a massive victory for ISIS,” his opponent, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, told Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.” ...”

And once again, Trumpster’s have to infest a thread with something that has absolutely nothing to do with Trump or Cruz. It’s people like you that are making FR so unlivable, keep the presidential retorts where they belong, I won’rt say where yours should go.

" Trump's relationship with Russia goes far back. In 1987, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was meeting with Soviet officials and negotiating the building of "luxury hotels" in Moscow and Leningrad .

A story at the time said Trump had met Soviet Ambassador Yuri Dubinin, who mentioned how much his daughter had admired the "opulent" Trump Tower in New York City. This led to an invitation to Trump to visit the USSR. The story said Dubinin wrote a letter to Trump, who hosted a meeting with Soviet officials in New York.

The invitation to Moscow was issued by Intourist, the giant Soviet in-country travel organization which operated all the hotels for foreigners in the Soviet Union.

Intourist was created in 1929 by Joseph Stalin and run by KGB officials. Intourist hotels were designed for wealthy foreigners, and virtually all the Intourist guides were KGB informers. In fact, one aspect of their jobs was the recruitment of foreigners. ..."

"...we are left thinking [whether] Trump understands the aggressive intentions of Vladimir Putin.

"...when Trump was asked about the nuclear balance with Russia during the most recent Republican presidential debate, he displayed ignorance of the decaying nature of the U.S. nuclear triad , which constitutes our ability to deter and survive a Russian nuclear first strike.

"Putin has just presided over a ceremony honoring the KGB's successor agencies, and the Russia Today (RT) propaganda channel has announced the grand opening of a "cultural center" dedicated to mass murderer Joseph Stalin.

It looks like Putin has outmaneuvered Obama and Trump. It is an opening for Trump's opponents, especially Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL). But do they have the courage to "follow the money" and hold Trump accountable for doing business with a criminal regime that threatens the survival of the United States? At the end of this money trail, they may find an explanation of why Trump is so reluctant to hold Putin responsible for his crimes.

Remember, folks. Russia is only doing this because it is threatened by the US. Or so the Borscht Brigade says. Again remember, the Cold War is over.

I'm rude? Look in the mirror because(must not use you per Jim) thou will clearly see an image of hypocrisy, and of course the clever little insult(well in your mind I'm sure) slipped in at the end, it's really getting old, thou should spend some time thinking up something at least marginally clever. I'm not for Cruz, but neither have I drunk the Kool Aid for Trump, I am just as ready and have called out the crap by those for Cruz.

And the media plus Obama and some here wonder why Trump says Nukes should not be off the table in Europe. Hell, When the RVN war as far as US troop commitment was 99% over in 73, the Infantry Officers Advanced Course at Benning was about NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical) weapons, tanks, APCs, surviving the first strike etc. This is not going to change in Europe.

My point is that I prefer someone OTHER than Hillary, which seems to be the PRIME OBJECTIVE of the GOPe, and Cruz, now that he has drank their Kool-Aid.

Russia isn't the only one let's say Moving About over in those parts....Obama has made these past 8 years a love fest for any who are up to mischief. Heck N.Korea's decided it's time to more than shake things up. We'll be lucky if something doesn't happen BEFORE Obama leaves office.
