I considered you evil long before this (your attempt to dismiss how Putin is violating critical missile defense and nuke treaties by pointing to an irrelevant mathematical error, or typo in that report).
"the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century" -Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...
"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'..."
"The more I see and read about Mr. Putin, in power since 1999, and his 'managed democracy,' the more apprehensive I become about the future of Russia and the safety of its neighbors.
If Putin believes that the dissolution of the Soviet Union into 15 independent states represents the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,' then it follows that Putin might well believe he should do something to repair the loss..."

Forgetting the Evils of Communism: The amnesia bites a little deeper
By Jonah Goldberg, August 2008:
The article headline as it is written is required. The entire article was posted on FR.
Not to my recollection. Romney = Loser
By the way, during the debates did Romney ever ask Obama about that flexible statement he made?
What I have read recently is that our silos and nuclear sites are crumbling. Our nuclear capability has been allowed to deteriorate to a dangerous level.
“It need not be massive; only strategic and decapitating”
That’s what I believe as well, a single event in some area these reprobates view as disposable would be enough to adequately frighten and cause to realign the whole world and especially the economic and monetary system and this evil demonic Obama creature would welcome our globalist invaders and their ‘assistance’ with open arms,
Once everything is in place, they merely need the correct event to leverage and exploit,
But I should be clear, I don’t believe in any land invasion per se, beyond what we’re seeing already with tens of thousands of radical immigrants brought in, all being engineered intentionally,
They (Obama, Bush, UN etc., ) will either morph us into the NWO (mostly done) but an event of sufficient shock and magnitude would speed it all along or else they will weaken us and then destroy us, and ultimately I believe it’s going to be both,
Lol...it would help if whoever wrote this could do simple math.
X + 111 = 1648
1648 - 98 = 1550
Summary
The United States and Russia signed the New START Treaty on April 8, 2010. After more than 20 hearings, the U.S. Senate gave its advice and consent to ratification on December 22, 2010, by a vote of 71-26. Both houses of the Russian parliamentthe Duma and Federation Council approved the treaty in late January 2011, and it entered into force on February 5, 2011, after Secretary of State Clinton and Foreign Minister Lavrov exchanged the instruments of ratification.
New START provides the parties with 7 years to reduce their forces, and will remain in force for a total of 10 years. It limits each side to no more than 800 deployed and nondeployed land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) launchers and deployed and nondeployed heavy bombers equipped to carry nuclear armaments.
Within that total, each side can retain no more than 700 deployed ICBMs, deployed SLBMs, and deployed heavy bombers equipped to carry nuclear armaments. The treaty also limits each side to no more than 1,550 deployed warheads; those are the actual number of warheads on deployed ICBMs and SLBMs, and one warhead for each deployed heavy bomber.
New START contains detailed definitions and counting rules that will help the parties calculate the number of warheads that count under the treaty limits. Moreover, the delivery vehicles and their warheads will count under the treaty limits until they are converted or eliminated according to the provisions described in the treatys Protocol. These provisions are far less demanding than those in the original START Treaty and will provide the United States and Russia with far more flexibility in determining how to reduce their forces to meet the treaty limits. ..."

‘flexibility’
I’m sure I would love you and agree with you on every issue. I was incorrect to refer to what was posted as an “excerpt” (and I appreciated the full article) and you did, in fact, follow the required procedures of posting the full headline. Acknowledged.
However, I just hate those Clickbait-style headlines. Reminds me of less refined websites.
Fight the good fight.
I know Dr. Pritchett is your screen name, but I have a good friend whose last name is Pritchett.
Thanks for your comments. I hope to hear from you again.
Now, you have a second one!
