Nuclear weapons are not evil. Terrifying, yes. But their horrific capabilities prevented a Third World War. It all depends on whose finger is on the button.
Until yesterday's formal announcement of the administration's new Nuclear Posture Review, nukes also kept us safe from a range of threats short of a doomsday scenario: Our enemies risked going only so far. Nukes didn't prevent all wars -- but wars remained local.
Yesterday, we threw away a significant part of history's most successful deterrent.

Perhaps some hope is left in that Obama is a consummate liar. Therefore he can’t even be trusted with a no-nuke pledge.
Nukes have the same stigma for the left as guns. Both are scary to the metro-sexual, but necessary in a harsh reality of this world, and both cannot be done away with at our peril.
It really boils down to materialism. The left is materialistic and sees everything in terms of things. Who has what and how much, and what is fair. Things, inanimate objects, are given a moral quality as you would a human, and judged as such. It really is the ultimate in materialism.
That is also Marxism.
FUBO. It’s not even been 2 years and he’s gone a long way toward leading our country into the crapper. Now let’s advertise that we won’t defend ourselves. Is there anybody who hates this country more than our POTUS? What a question to have to ask...
The next presidential election can’t get here fast enough. There is much to fear until then and it will only be by God’s grace that the US doesn’t suffer a catastrophe as a result of this decision.
Not reckless vanity.———————Terminal stupidity.
Scott Brown ran and won on national security. Obama has handed the Republicans not just an issue , but a reason, to clobber the Democrats in the fall.
