Obama to Russia: stop Iranian nuclear weapon and US will scrap missile defence
President Obama today offered to scrap plans for a missile defence shield in Eastern Europe if Russia helped to stop Iran developing a nuclear bomb.
He appealed in Moscow for a new era of partnership between Russia and the United States to fight the spread of nuclear weapons to rogue states and terrorist groups.
"That is why we should be united in opposing North Korea's efforts to become a nuclear power and preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon," he said.
Russia strongly opposes US plans to site the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, which Washington says is necessary to defend against a surprise attack from Iran.
Mr Obama made clear that he was willing to strike a deal with the Kremlin.

"I know Russia opposes the planned configuration for missile defence in Europe . . . I have made it clear that this system is directed at preventing a potential attack from Iran and has nothing to do with Russia," Mr Obama said in a speech to students graduating from Moscow's New Economic School.

Is this man naive, stupid or such an egomaniac that he really believes what he’s saying? I wouldn’t trust him to handle my stratgey in a game of RISK. This man will gut our defense capability at every opportunity. No wonder the Poles, Czechs, Georgians and citizens of Ukraine are reinstituting Russian as a second language in their schools. What’s he going to give the Chinese, South Korea?

Meanwhile, back at the neverland ranch, Li’l Kim prepares to “clear his throat” ballistically, desperate to recapture the attention.
Having a great sword in the hands of a traitor does you no good.
Obama's America with missile defense is pointless.
Personally, I'd rather be dead than red.
Yeah, pretty much.
Perhaps our military needs to impart our very own version of the Honduran solution before the Kenyan gets us all killed. Time to hit the reset button.
I don't think so.
In 3 1/2 years he will be gone just like Carter.
The defenders of liberty will still be here.
You need to understand this, and understand it starting right now:
We don't have 3 1/2 years.
During the Carter Malaise, there were no "rogue" regimes. There were either Soviet satellites or American allies, and everyone being funded or supplied by the USSR knew that they would be nuked right along with Mother Russia if anyone attacked us. And the Soviets kept their creepy little tape worms under "cold war" levels of activity.
Now, there are at least two dozen chemical, biological, and/or nuclear armed Stalinist regimes who are quite certain that their proxies can take huge "hot war" bites out of us, and The Magic Negro won't do anything in response, except apologize for provoking the attack. And after the first one, every other parasite lines up to do the same thing.
We have 12 months, tops, before Somalia realizes it can land amphibious craft in San Diego, and the worst that will happen is that their war lord might only get a short congratulatory photo op with Kenya's First Son.
