RED ALERT: Russia Just did THIS to Its Nuclear Arsenal and It Should Put Us on High Alert

Recent reports indicate Russia is bolstering its arsenal of missiles, submarines and bombers — a move that violates the New START arms treaty. THIS is what we know!

According to the Washington Free Beacon, Russia’s nuclear arsenal how has over 100 nuclear warheads above the limit set by the treaty.

Since the treaty was launched, Russia has deployed 111 new nuclear warheads, bringing its total number of deployed warheads to 1,648. That treaty limit is 1,150 warheads — a number that must be reached in 2018.

Comparatively, the numbers of U.S. nuclear warheads, missiles and bombers have fallen dramatically and are already below the limits set by the treaty. Additionally, the United States has decreased the number of warheads in its deployed nuclear arsenal by 250.

While the United States intends to eliminate heavy bombers and launchers, Russia has launched a strategic nuclear force expansion.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also recently announced a new doctrine that placed priority on nuclear forces.

If this raises concern for you, you are not alone.

Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, said Russia “is in the business of violating treaties.”

Rogers said Putin has violated several agreements and treaties in the past, and he simply “violates any treaty or agreement that puts limits on capabilities that Mr. Putin and his cronies desire.”

“Russia’s arguable adherence to the New START Treaty just indicates how bad a deal it is for the United States,” he said.

Adm. William Gortney, commander of the U.S. Northern Command, said Wednesday that Russia has read our play book and is “fielding cruise missiles that are very, very accurate, very long range.”

Gortney said these missiles have the ability to reach targets in Canada and the United States. He added that Russia has been participating in war game scenarios recently that simulate cruise missile strikes in Alaska.

This news is serious because it appears Russia has no intention of abiding by New START or any other treaty. We should therefore be building up our military and our arsenals instead of depleting them.

We need to wake up — because this could get ugly real fast.

With this new developing threat in sight…I’m sure Obama will have the perfect plan…like, close the window shades.

Russia is over-arming in preparation for intimidating America into surrender before the whole world.

Your personal arms matter much more than you realize for what lies ahead.

Ted Cruz, recently, on Russia, Syria, Obama...

"If we want to actually dismantle ISIS, we need to dramatically change course. We need a real, robust campaign that maximizes our overwhelming air advantage.

We need to focus our efforts not on trying to create friends, but on supporting our real ones, especially the Kurds in Iraq and Syria who have actually had success against ISIS."

-snip-

"We can redouble our efforts to develop the defensive weapons that neutralized the offensive Soviet threat -- particularly missile defense, which has seen a 25% budget reduction under Obama, according to an analysis from the conservative Heritage Foundation, and has been constrained by bad arms deals like New START.

We should not only move quickly to install the canceled interceptor sites Putin opposed in Poland and the Czech Republic, but also to develop the next generation of systems that will only increase his discomfiture.

These options do not entail a ground war in Syria, yet would effectively shake us free from the failed policies that have brought us to our current impasse.

These options set us on a new path that puts Putin on notice that the United States is reclaiming our traditional role as leader of the free world."

“I think it would be a mistake to get involved in the Syrian civil war. There have been voices in Washington eager for us to send our sons and daughters over to fight that civil war for some time. I haven’t been one of them. I think the touchstone of U.S. military policy should be protecting the national security of this country.

“What we’re seeing Putin in Russia do is a direct response to the profound weakness of Obama over six and a half years.

Putin views Obama as weak, as ineffective, and frankly, as a laughingstock. And, as a result, he is moving in, he is invading his neighbors – like Ukraine – he’s kidnapping Estonians, and he’s moving into Syria to gain a stronger foothold in the Middle East."

Those godless obama reprobates and their blind GOPe sycophants (mccain graham, bush, boener, McConnell et al) are setting the USA up for a nuclear Pearl Harbor,

I wish I was just being bellicose and using an over-the-top dramatic description here, but I’m not, I honestly believe this is true,

[VerySadAmerican]

Reagan kept us from having a nuclear war. I doubt the bunch in charge now, republicans and their friends on the other side, have enough sense to keep us out one.

As for me, a veteran, I will support those who fight the muslims. And that ain’t U.S.

[VerySadAmerican]

By the way, during the debates did Romney ever ask Obama about that “flexible” statement he made?

[LittleBillyInfidel]

Our enemies would be fools not to make a major move against us within the next 14 months. It need not be massive; only strategic and decapitating, and yet just devastating enough to send a follow land invasion under the guise of humanitarian assistance.

[FreeAtlanta]

We are the only country that ever obeys treaties that we sign. I think we grew up feeling horrible about all the Indian treaties we discarded, so we are careful to not break treaties, now.

[buckalfa]

At least Obama was honest about his defense and foreign policy heading in to the 2008 election. The sad thing, he was elected, twice.

He very rarely was so opened about his plans for America.

Other such rare occasions were these...

I hope we’re not going to start a precedent whereby we use these “clickbait” style headlines on the FR website. It’s annoying enough on FaceBook and whatnot: “Obama just did THIS and you won’t believe it!”

[Dr. Pritchett]

Enemy strategists must be informing their leaders that the US election is an inflection point: the US position could not possibly get any weaker than on Election Day 2016, after 8 years of BO. If they have any inclination to attack us within the next 8 years, we will be at our very lowest (militarily and strategically) on the last day of the BO administration. Attacking during the transition would be prime time. It’s only more difficult and risky after that.

If by some horrible stroke of fate another ‘rat wins the election, they can always shelve their plans for another 4 years and reevaluate in 2020.

Prepare yourselves.

[JimSEA]

Yeah, I’ve been reading all those media reports about how GWB had a lot better relations with Russia and China than Kumbya Obama.

The piece did refer to another source for the info (Free Beacon). May have been better to go directly to that.

Russia Adds 111 Warheads Under Arms Treaty
Moscow warheads above New START treaty limit

By: Bill Gertz
October 9, 2015

Russia has now deployed more than 100 nuclear warheads in its strategic arsenal above the limits set by the New START arms treaty limits—two years before it must meet treaty arms reduction goals.

New START nuclear warhead and delivery system numbers made public Oct. 1 reveal that since the 2010 arms accord went into force, Moscow increased the number of deployed nuclear warheads by a total of 111 weapons for a total of 1,648 deployed warheads. That number is 98 warheads above the treaty limit of 1,150 warheads that must be reached by the 2018 deadline of the treaty.

At the same time, U.S. nuclear warheads, missiles, and bombers have fallen sharply and remain below the required levels under the New START pact.

The United States during the same period of the Russian increases cut its deployed nuclear arsenal by 250 warheads. ..."(more...)

"The Kenyan is going to get us all killed."

That's been the plan of Obama and his Democrats all along.

[Dr. Pritchett]

Yes, and the excerpt was appreciated. In the end, it was a legitimate story, just the headline was alarmist and uninformative. Anyway, as economist John Maynard Keynes was once alleged to have said, “In the long run, we’re all dead.”

[mac_truck]

Moscow increased the number of deployed nuclear warheads by a total of 111 weapons for a total of 1,648 deployed warheads. That number is 98 warheads above the treaty limit of 1,150 warheads that must be reached by the 2018 deadline of the treaty.

Lol...it would help if whoever wrote this could do simple math.

[ETL]

But in this time of many pro-Russia, pro-Putin, stories being posted, as if he is some great humanitarian or hero, it’s good that others are helping get out some facts about him and his ultimate true agenda.

[ETL]

So that, in your evil little mind, somehow invalidates the fact that your boy Putin has yet again violated a treaty.

[Iscool]

Well I hope my neighborhood is targeted...

What we don’t know is if it is just strategic or if Putin has intentions of taking us out...Either way, we lose...

[mac_truck]

You must be a deranged lunatic from a foreign country to believe that my pointing out a simple math error by the author makes me somehow “evil”.

It does expose the cut-n-paste quality of your “news” stories though doesn’t it?
