RED ALERT: Russia Just did THIS to Its Nuclear Arsenal and It Should Put Us on High Alert
Bad Blue ^ | 10/11/2015 | The Minority Report

Posted on 10/11/2015 7:15:01 AM PDT by conservativejoy

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.

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”.

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).

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

"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..."

The article headline as it is written is required. The entire article was posted on FR.

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


That was not Romney’s job. His job was to insure the reelection of Obama. He did his job.

So let's show for comparison how many nuclear missiles are pointing at Russia as well.

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,

Re: "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.

X + 111 = 1648

1648 - 98 = 1550

The New START Treaty: Central Limits and Key Provisions
Congressional Research Service

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 parliament—the 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 treaty’s 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. ..."

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.
