Responded to this poster and he’s banned. What happened?
“By guaranteeing non-use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states, you are removing the incentive of states whos 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.”
Ping to post # 12!
So true, and I could not have said it better!
I turn the useful idiot off.
And we find out Russia can opt-out of the nuclear treaty.
