Obama's Plan For World Without Nuclear Weapons—Ours (he must be defeated)
Investors Business Daily ^ | 7-7-2012 | Investors Business Daily

Posted on 07/07/2012 1:51:42 PM PDT by no-llmd

The Obama Record: In pursuit of a world without nuclear weapons, the president finalizes plans to decimate our nuclear deterrent and reduce our warhead count beyond even treaty commitments. (snip) President Obama has decided that indeed we are going to tempt them with weakness. According to an Associated Press report on conversations with current and former administration officials, Obama is finalizing plans, perhaps to be released later this month, to cut the U.S. nuclear arsenal to between 1,000 and 1,100 warheads with the goal "in the longer term, (of) eliminating nuclear weapons."

Don't forget Obama’s hot mic comment to the Russian ambassador, “I'll have more flexibility after the election.”
I guess he decided not to wait.

While I agree with you that there is no reason to reduce our strategic force that low, 300 warheads could still be a credible deterrent.

If it were the right thing to do for America and national security, Obama wouldn't be doing it.

From "45 Communist Goals", as per "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

Obama and the case of the missing 'thesis'
By Jim Popkin, NBC News Senior Investigative Producer
July 24, 2008

excerpt:

The hunt for Obama’s senior “thesis” began with a throwaway line in a newspaper article last October. The New York Times story, on Obama’s early New York years, mentioned in passing that the presidential contender had majored in political science at Columbia and had spent his time “writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament.”

Journalists began hounding Columbia University for copies of the musty document. Conservative bloggers began wondering if the young Obama had written a no-nukes screed that he might come to regret. And David Bossie, the former congressional investigator and “right-wing hit man,” as one newspaper described him, took out classified newspaper ads in Columbia University’s newspaper and the Chicago Tribune in March searching for the term paper.

Bossie came up dry, but said the effort was well worth it:

“A thesis entitled Soviet Nuclear Disarmament, written at the height of The Cold War in 1983, might shed some light upon what Barack Obama thought about our most pressing foreign policy issue for 40-plus years (U.S.-Soviet Relations),” he wrote in an e-mail to NBC News.

http://deepbackground.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/07/24/1219454.aspx
_________________________________________________

Here is the passage from the New York Times that the above article refers to:

"He barely mentions Columbia, training ground for the elite, where he transferred in his junior year, majoring in political science and international relations and writing his thesis on Soviet nuclear disarmament. He dismisses in one sentence his first community organizing job — work he went on to do in Chicago — though a former supervisor remembers him as 'a star performer.'"

[snip]

"he [Obama] declined repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify even a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years.

'He doesn’t remember the names of a lot of people in his life,' said Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman."

Obama’s Account of New York Years Often Differs From What Others Say

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: Institute For Policy Studies (IPS)

IPS’s [Institute For Policy Studies] Washington, DC headquarters quickly became a resource center for national reporters and a place for KGB agents from the nearby Soviet embassy to convene and strategize. Cora Weiss headed one of the IPS's most successful forays -- into Riverside Church in Manhattan. She was invited there in 1978 by the Reverend William Sloane Coffin to run the church's Disarmament Program, which sought to consolidate Soviet nuclear superiority in Europe -- in the name of "peace." In 1982 Weiss helped organize the largest pro-disarmament demonstration ever held. Staged in New York City, the rally was attended by a coalition of communist organizations. During her decade-long tenure at Riverside, which became home to the National Council of Churches, Weiss regularly received Russian KGB agents, Sandinista friends, and Cuban intelligence agents. Weiss became infamous for her role in the psychological warfare conducted against U.S. prisoners of war held in the infamous "Hanoi Hilton" during the Vietnam War.

The Liberation News Service, which is a news source for hundreds of "alternative" publications nationwide (with antiwar, Marxist-oriented perspectives), was founded in 1967 with IPS assistance."

“Barack Obama, as Commander in Chief, engages in naked treason to aid foreign powers.”

I concur with what you say, so now we can have formal charges of treason filed against him, and others in the administration.

Article Three, Section Three:
“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.”

Japan will never possess nuclear weapons.... It's against their Constitution, and they do not have the will or desire to have such weapons.

Besides, if the norks or china ever did launch against them, we would through our treaty obligations retaliate in kind for them.

When your strategic opponent has an arsenal of nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles numbering in the thousands, it is beyond foolish to presume that a mere 300 warheads would be a credible deterrent.

Let us suppose hypothetically in a world where the U.S. arsenal is no more than 300 warheads, that the Ohio-class boomer that you served in, carrying 192 warheads total, ends up being located, identified and sunk by hostile forces, and/or suffers some kind of catastrophic failure (think SSN-589/USS Scorpion), guess what?

You have just lost damn near 2/3rds of your already weakened deterrent.

Now the argument will be made that we would have to more widely distribute those 300 warheads to avoid just such a calamity but the fact remains that you cannot consider such a numerically small number of warheads as having any effective and true deterrence due to the reasons I've already posted. And a small number like that means that you have just simplified the targeting challenges for Russian nuclear strategists, and that is definitely not something we should want to do.

I've heard this rationale too many times about how much nuclear destruction can be wrought by just one Ohio-class sub, or one B-52 (or B-2), or a wing of Minuteman III ICBMs, but what is overlooked is that you need to allow for mechanical malfunction, human error, or some Russian sonuvabitch getting off a lucky shot. Your nuclear weapons must be numerous, with massive redundancy (meaning that if you think 300 warheads will do the job, you need to have at least 900 in inventory in case any given nuke for whatever reason, fails to reach or destroy the target), and to allow for periodic replacement of the warheads, maintenance, etc.

Of course it's against their Constitution... but there are ways around that.

Have NTT or one of the electronics giants build it "privately," or just ignore the Constitution in the interest of the Greater Southeast Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!

I think the Japanese xenophobia, need to be self-reliant, and core belief that anything, everything, and everyone Japanese is better than anything or anyone non-Japanese might drive them to have done it.

You guys are there. Your ideas?

The old Sov system would have believed it could absorb 300 warheads.

And if it meant they would sweep the board and achieve global domination, they would have gladly done so.

That may be true, but in light of what happened last year with the reactors melting down, it more than likely reinforced their anti nuke views.

How could the Soviet Union “absorb” an attack of 300 strategic warheads?

Urban industrial centers, transportation, command centers, power stations, oil production plants, ports, shipyards, military bases, farms, etc would all be targeted.

The resulting nuclear fallout and food shortages would be devastating.

The enormous destruction of population, infastructure and economic potential would cripple the Soviet Union.

The USS Was (as opposed the the USS Are) was not like the US. Its economy, food production, etc was very rationalized and localized.

For example, because there were so few cars, they did not depend on Detroitski. Food production was local. It was such a vast area, (11 times zones) much of the radiation would disperse. Much that they needed for survival was already underground. Their mass fallout shelter system was extensive.

And more than anything else, like Japan, their population was experienced in “Stop complaining. Shut up and comply.” Huge losses in WWII, (20 million in the USS Was) trained them for that.
