Barack Obama Seeks To Reduce Role Of US Nuclear Weapons

President Barack Obama said that a forthcoming review of the US nuclear posture would reduce the number and role of nuclear weapons in Washington’s national security strategy. In addition, we will seek to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and negotiate a treaty to end the production of fissile material for use in nuclear weapons, Obama said in a statement marking the 40th anniversary of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. A 1999 vote on US ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty fell 19 votes short of the 67 needed for approval by the Senate, which at the time was controlled by Republicans.

So, Obama wants to go back to the old way of fighting wars ~ masses of men shooting each other, bombs bursting overhead, artillery firing, horse flesh flying, ........

I think he's an idiot!

Let’s see, we have cut the conventional forces, other than the ground pounders, because we can rely on the nukes. Now we’ll cut the nukes?

Gotta avoid that. Horses scream like teenage girls at a rock concert when they are injured. It's demoralizing.

Just thinking, maybe we can tell all those teenage girls that Obama wants to hurt the horses.

Maybe, or maybe he knows exactly what he's doing to make the United States vulnerable to their enemies.

bowing and apologizing for America will reduce the role of nukes in strategic defense

if we just join the people who hate us by saying “hey, we hate us too!”- then we are safe!

at least, in lib la la land

Hey. Obama’s soul mates, the Communists in charge of Russia, announced they are starting to build a whole new line of nuclear weapons.

If we get rid of ours, then they can just tell us we have to become commies and the fight for Obama’s permanent position as the head of state is complete. He can be Putin's lap dog and be our dictator.

There are three ways to view the President’s desire to rid the world of nuclear weapons. He honestly thinks a treaty will do it and he’s willing to do anything to achieve this treaty, including unilateral disarmament. (Unilateral disarmament is always a strong hand to play when everybody else is armed to the teeth. It shows moral superiority and embarrasses your opponent into capitulating lest you shake your finger at him.)

Or, two. He’s an American hating Manchurian candidate who is leading us into the jaws of destruction.

Or, three. He believes that once the hated Satan America has shown its friendliness by disarming first that all of human nature will turn into enlightened lite wine sippers and war and carnage will be a thing of the past.

If we had an American hating enemy in charge of our government, by what action would we know?

Barack Obama Seeks To Reduce Role Of US Nuclear Weapons

Ok...given that the role of US nuclear weapons is to figuratively keep the wolves at bay...by their mere existence....this seems like a very irresponsible, almost moronic course of action.

But then...why should I be surprised? Just another day in the New Workers Paradise, neh?

Judging by everything we know about Obama from his past writings, associations and speeches, its plain that no 2 is the correct answer.

He hates this country and most of her people, and believes the world will be a better place with their foot on our necks.

No, Putin wouldn’t have him there as his lapdog. Putin would have him shot and then put one of his own people in there. Obama is too arrogant to let him be a lapdog and Putin would want someone with an actual brain and ability. Zero is NOT and never will sit at those tables and be considered an equal.

It’ll be pretty easy to accomplish a number of things he wants all at once.

He can reduce medical costs, save Social Security, reduce the role and number of nukes. All he has to do is nuke out the interior of “flyover” country. They don’t appropriately revere him anyway.
