Obama: It's Open Season on the United States

President Obama is about to demonstrate once again a complete lack of understanding of how the world works and of the effective use of US power. According to the New York Times the President will announce tomorrow a new nuclear strategy that would “substantially narrow the conditions under which the United States would use nuclear weapons, even in self-defense.” The President will essentially tie one hand behind our back and invite our enemies to be more aggressive because they will no longer face the threat of a nuclear response from the United States. As with several of his other policy decisions, this new strategy will make the United States and our allies less safe.

In what amounts to unilateral disarmament, the heart of the new strategy is an explicit commitment by the United States not to use nuclear weapons against any nonnuclear state...

“By guaranteeing non-use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states, you are removing the incentive of states who’s primary enemy is the United States from developing them.”

Let’s think about this logically. A country whose primary enemy is the U.S. is expected to place its security on the verbal assurances of an enemy that retains 800 or more nuclear weapons (it remains to be seen how much Obama disarms us in pursuit of a nuclear deal with Russia)?

According to this logic, so long as Iran gives us a verbal reassurance that they won’t use nuclear weapons offensively, everything should be hunky dory: no harm, no foul! Can you imagine Obama delivering a speech in which he announces to Americans that he’s received such assurances from Iran, hence there is no need of sanctions and no need for further concern, since he has their solemn promise in his hip pocket???

The idea that proliferation in today’s volatile world is driven principally by concerns over the U.S. is ludicrous. The U.S. could disappear from the face of the earth and Iran still would want weapons to counter Israel and then Eqypt, Syria and UAE would likely want such weapons to counter Iran etc.

“O’Reilly would only be another buffoonish hustler and self-promoting snake-oil salesman if not for the fact he reaches such a wide audience. He is a willing Obama regime tool in that he deliberately lulls the uneucated to even more ignorant complacency and keeps them there month after month while the Marxist-in-Chief marches straight ahead to implement the bloodless takeover of the country.”

So true, and I could not have said it better!
