Obama says nuclear terrorist attack would ‘change our world’

President Barack Obama said Friday that the world faces a persistent and evolving threat from terrorists who are eager to unleash a devastating nuclear attack. “It would change our world,” he said.

Hosting his last nuclear security summit, said the world has measurably reduced the risk of nuclear terrorism by taking “concrete, tangible steps.” He said no terrorists have thus far obtained nuclear material, and he praised recent moves by Argentina, Switzerland and Uzbekistan for getting rid of their stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.

Still, Obama said, the prospect of the Islamic State group or other extremists getting a weapon remains “one of the greatest threats to global security.” He pointed out that IS had already used chemical weapons and that al-Qaida has long sought nuclear material.

“There is no doubt that if these mad men ever got their hands on a nuclear bomb or nuclear material, they would certainly use it to kill as many people as possible,” Obama said.

Obama is getting ready to announce he’s destroyed all of the US’s nuclear weapons

Possibly.

His statement regarding nuclear weapons is definitely a signal to the Muslim world that they should hit the US or the West.

While some may find this outlandish, it is consistent with Obama and the Muslim world. Read the transcript to his 2009 Cairo Speech. It is chilling.

Obama told the Muslim world that they US was now their conquered territory, that the US would not interfere in their plans towards a global caliphate, and that they should overthrow governments in the Middle East at will. The President of Egypt at the time, Hosni Mubarak, was not even invited to this speech in his own nation, but the Muslim Brotherhood were sitting there and actually co-wrote much of the speech.

“Exactly. And brought to our world by Barack Hussein Obama and the Corker Bill, with Iran getting $150 billion dollars.

WHAT could possibly go wrong?”

Sadly, we shall all find out.
