Better clean out your old Cold War bunker. If you don't have you might want to think about it.

[Sam Gamgee]

Yes, the Russians are still in possession of over 8000 nukes. Scary.

[C210N]

The only thing I take from this story is the White Hut becoming sensitive to the news on the illegal invasion, 0’care’s judicial losses, and talk about big losses in the midterms.

[KevinB]

Strongly worded letter to follow.

[grania]

How many treaties has the US violated by arming rebels to overthrow legal governments?

[Mouton]

Putin just being flexable on his end. Meanwhile, Oturd is wed to his ideas of the early 80s.

[Jeff Chandler]

No problem, just RESET the relationship on the power of your personality through the charm of Hillary Clinton.

[McGruff]

That RESET button is going to be replaced by a LAUNCH button.

“Better clean out your old Cold War bunker. If you don’t have you might want to think about it.”

I guess that’s what they meant by “reset”.

Even funnier is that our geniuses mistranslated the word so it said overloaded/overcharged/scammed

[blueyon]

Boy did Obama show up late to the party..this happened in January from what I heard and we are now in July

[Rashputin]

I thought START was an agreement on the number of warheads, not on intermediate range weapons of all sorts. We use a Hell of a lot of cruise missiles when we need to so I'm not sure what the difference here is.

Our Tomahawks can carry small nukes, what makes them different than this class of cruise missiles? Is there a limit on how many Tomahawks we can have at a given moment? That wouldn't make sense to me so, I'm wondering if this is the kind of thing someone picked a convenient moment to split hairs over or a real and major change in the type of weapon they're testing.

” Russians are still in possession of over 8000 nukes”

It all works out, 0bama has cut our arsenal in half.

There, don’t you feel better now?

[Paladin2]

And here I thought the headline was:

"White Hut accuses (John) Roberts of violating contract for War on Constitution."

[ColdOne]

So is this the move that starts the plan that obi will have more flexibility after the elections with our nukes?

Deep thoughts by McGruff:

"If you don't have you might want to think about it."

[McGruff]

You guys gotta lighten up. Putin is getting inside your heads.

[thinkthenpost]

The Tomahawk is not a ground launched cruise missile, it is a sea launched cruise missile.

[Rashputin]

LOL, yeah, as issued. It's ground launch capable whether it's currently fitted that way or not. Air launch as well.

No offense, and if that's the all the difference then that's all the difference which isn't really anything but playing games IMHO.

[Rashputin]

To clear that up a bit. START and a couple of other treaties have always seemed to be more about political goodie points for US pols than about actually dealing with the weapons classes.

Warheads age, stuff like Tomahawk is easily modified, but the people who get the photo op always have their photo.
