MOSCOW (AP) - A top Russian security official says Moscow reserves the right to conduct pre-emptive nuclear strikes to safeguard the country against aggression on both a large and a local scale, according to a newspaper interview published Wednesday.
Presidential Security Council chief Nikolai Patrushev also singled out the U.S. and NATO, saying Moscow's Cold War foes still pose potential threats to Russia despite what he called a global trend toward local conflicts.
The interview appeared in the daily Izvestia during a visit by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, as U.S. and Russian negotiators try to hammer out a nuclear arms reduction treaty by December.

Outstanding negotiations, BO!
Sounds like they are covertly declaring War on us!!
Wait a minute... I thought Hillary “reset” relations with Russia, and that Russia is our friend...
Oh yea, I forgot... that was an “Overcharge” button!
BTW, the Russians are expanding their military, and it is now on par with the old Soviet military, even though it is smaller.
The cornerstone of Nuclear Stability has been the mutual “No First Use” doctrine between the US and Russia/USSR...
The world just became a more dangerous place....
A direct slap in the face of Obama with this statement.
Pres_ _ent SoVain Hussein Obama: "Go Moscow. Go Taliban. I dont give a damn
cause MY new presidential copter lets ME cook a meal while under nuclear attack."
I wonder what Zer0 will say about this!
If we were struck by Russia, Barack Obama would not retaliate.
Global Memo to Obama: “Don’t forget that peace prize we just gave you.”
Neither the US or Russia have ever had official no first use policies.
Russian military strategy has always been nuke-heavy and the US had plans to use nuclear demolition charges to destroy bridges and other infrastructure to slow a Russian advance.

” Neither the US or Russia have ever had official no first use policies. “
Thank you for the correction...
‘No First Use’ was/is such a natural corrollary to MAD, that I just assumed that it had been formalized as Doctrine...
My mistake..
Thank goodness he removed the missile shield in Poland and Czek Republic.
NOW THEY’RE REALLY SCARED !!
it is truly amazing how quickly oblabo has completely obliterated so much of what reagan accomplished. breathtaking really how “he deserves this nobel peace prize for his good intentions and what he will accomplish” when what he HAS accomplished makes the world a much more dangerous place. it really boggles the mind, no?
Things have been going downhill with Russia ever since we bombed Serbia back to the Stone Ages.
This is the result of Bill Clinton’s actions. They are pissed at Clinton, so the Zero sends his wife to talk to them. Of course they will reject her out of hand.
I agree.....he will tuck tail and run to his basement. This guy has got to go.
I would hope that zero and the rest of his amateur administration realise just how dangerous this is. Perhaps as these libtards are doing healthcare reform, they will include language that covers blindness, flashburns and radiation sickness. And while they are at it, are nukes covered under cap and tax?
