It is hard to fathom what the United States will gain from Barack Obama’s much-hyped agreement with Dmitry Medvedev to further cut America’s nuclear arsenal. Washington and Moscow have agreed in principle a framework to reduce their nukes by about a third, to 1,500 to 1,675 warheads over the next seven years. Even more significantly, the two leaders have pledged to cut their nuclear delivery systems (intercontinental ballistic missiles and long-range bombers for example) to just 500-1,100 units, a move that works greatly to Russia’s advantage as its force projection is far weaker than the U.S. in this area.
The new deal, which Obama hopes to wrap up with the Kremlin by December, creates a far more level playing field for the Russians, whose strategic conventional weapons capability is greatly outclassed by that of the Americans, and whose deteriorating nuclear weapons stockpile is aging and in decline. The whole agreement makes no sense, and is little more than a vanity exercise for Barack Obama who has ludicrously pledged to carve out a nuclear-free world. Surely a better strategy would be to further build up America’s defences, including a global missile defence shield, rather than cut defence spending and further gut the superpower’s nuclear capability.
At this rate, even Jimmy Carter looks like General Patton

The whole agreement makes no sense,the Kremlin now has proof of just how much of an idiot Obama is it’s not going to turn out good for America Obama is destroying America one day at a time.
I actually spoke with a woman last week who has an excellent full-time job with great health care, and she agrees with everything Obama does.
She also watches Olbermann and Maddow.
I invited her to go to the Glenn Beck show that will be coming here in Jan. She said NO THANKS.
I told her Obama is going to turn our health care system into Canada’s, and she said that won’t happen.
If it describes character, integrity, policy, sense of humor, honesty or any other facet of BO...he’s the “worst”.
Its like the goobers I work for. They make north of $300-400K/yr and are all in the bag for Zero. But will they care if they pay another $50K in taxes? Probably not...Like I said, goobers, chocolate covered peanut brains.
I told this woman who loves Obama that my knee is bad so I should get a replacement before our system is like Canada's. Then our health care will be rationed, and I'll have to go on a waiting list to get a knee replacement.
This woman said that will never happen.
The amazing thing is she's careful with her money and lives a conservative lifestyle, yet she votes for democrats who throw money around like water.
One day at a time? Every day with Bambi in charge is like a dog year when it comes down to how fast he can destroy our country.
These people are afraid of the truth, and when it happens they still wont blame the One.
Still plenty of those people out there.
The only question is how much damage this dangerous fool will do before enough of the population wakes up.
Carter was a naive idiot. Obama is evil.

Dear God, this lunatic is going to get us killed to feed his ego!!! Please God, help us stop this man!
But she’s a vapid, foolish woman, with a great job and great benefits.

Is Obama the most naïve president in U.S. history?
You are confusing being naive with hating America and its foundations.
Jimmy or Barry? It’s a toss up.
Trial lawyers?
I will follow their leads.
Only 5 shotgun shells in my Defender instead if the full capacity 6.
You can put Wilson on that list, too
