Well you can't say he didn't warn you.


Radical professor Barack Obama has simultaneously increased the number of wars the US is fighting despite running as the 'anti-war' candidate.

Notice he said that he will 'end' the war, not that he will 'win' the war.



Now to further weaken America's defenses, he plans to give up 80% of America's nuclear weapons.

"Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, was pressed Wednesday about The Associated Press report that the administration is weighing a reduction of up to 80 percent in the number of deployed weapons.
Dempsey declined to comment on that figure. He said talks are ongoing in anticipation of negotiations with Russia."

The 80% reduction comes on top of the 'arms treaty' he signed with Russian in 2010. Remember the treaty that was supposed to get Russian to stop arming Iran and Syria?


Why 80%? To make sure we have less nuclear weapons than communist China.

Will Americans be safer after Obama gives up 80% of our nuclear weapons?

*This poll question has been reported to Obama's 'attackwatch' so you know it's good.*

    So let me get this straight:

    Russia continues to arm Iran and Syria, China continues to do business with America's enemies and threaten Taiwan, North Korea and Pakistan remain nuclear threats and Iran is about to develop nuclear weapons and Obama WANTS TO GIVE UP ALMOST ALL OF OUR NUKES?

    Democrats really are America's biggest threat to national security.

    Because you know that you can always "ask" those bad men not to hurt us or our friends and they will do it just because Obama is now our leader. And everyone knows that the world might not respect Obama and may even be laughing at him, but those who want to see the US destroyed sure do like that he is our President.

    Maybe the next Republican President will hand out nukes to protect our rights to bear arms. When Nukes get old they get dangerous, Nuke treadies are made so both sides can get rid of the decayed old weopons. You don't want them to blow up where they are stored do you?

I wonder to Mommy, if were gonna be held hostage by the evil that is around the world. Radical-muslims want chaos and destruction, a man-made, final war, to change the world. Mr. 0 isn't slowing Iran's progress into the nuclear family fast enough for me, and it makes me wonder? So right Sweetie, I don't feel safe with this leader in office, does anyone? Not me Mommy, Tommy down the street says were being set up for takeover and disarmed to not be able to respond, and you know, he may be right! Well hop up on my lap, little soldier and close your eyes together with Mommy. Why Mommy? One day this may become a reality and I want to be close as I can to you! Don't be afraid Mommy, I'm only 5 yrs. old but I'll protect you. Thank you Johnny, and together we'll protect each other, hugs and kiss? Mmm, Mommy, I'll never leave you, I love you too much! Honey, I love you even more,...(Kisses and hugs and tears) [Thank you Mr. President for all you do for us,...!?!!) [Groan!]

    Our nuclear arsenal is the most significant deterrent and must not be reduced especially with the draconian cuts he has proposed in our military. In a time when the geopolitical landscape is less stable you do not lay down your weapons unless you intend to surrender.

    Well more war mongering by the crazy right. Their are enough nuclear weapons on earth to decimate this world hundreds of times over. That wont satisfy the right wing war mongers, they want more. We will still have enough nuclear weapons even after the cuts to decimate the world. Obama signed a treaty with Russia on limiting nuclear weapons in 2010, and Reagan did the same in 1987. So what is the problem?? the right wing seems to care more about fetuses, then a nuclear war.

    This is an overestimation and pure hype.
    ((Their are enough nuclear weapons on earth to decimate this world hundreds of times over))


    In the mid 80’s we had over 12,000; by 2003 we had reduced our stockpile to 5,000; enough to still maintain our sovereign status without any doubt.

    A reduction to 300 would put that in jeopardy.
  • fudge35 Savious 2012/02/15 21:09:53

    300 hundred is just one of three numbers, that he is deciding on, but 300 hundred will still send us all into oblivion!! So what is the problem? We had at one time 15,000 and it has been going down with both Republican and Democratic administrations since, and no one bitched about it. Is it just because it is Obama's decision????

    You know I get so tired of this; when I disagreed with Bush I got criticized for disagreeing with Bush, simply because he was Bush; now when I disagree with Obama, I get criticized for disagreeing with Obama simply because he is Obama.

    Why does everyone, have to read something into something that it isn’t. I don’t give a rat’s ass who is at the top, if they propose something that is stupid, I’m going to call them on it.

    I can flip this around; do you agree with him simply because he’s Obama; where was your support for Bush when he reduced the number of nuclear weapons?

    Yes 300 is one of three that he is considering; but he is CONSIDERING it. So which 300 would he keep, the B61 with a variable yield on lowest setting of 0.3KT; which is 6 times LESS powerful than the one we dropped on Hiroshima?

    Please don’t over estimate the power of our nuclear weapons, currently the biggest, most powerful nuclear weapon we have is the B83 weighing in at 1.2MT, which is 57 times more powerful than Fat Man, which was dropped on Nagasaki. By comparison, Mt. Saint Helens 1980 eruption was 24MT which is 1142 times more powerful than Fat Man.

    OK don't get so thin skinned. All I asked was it because it's Obama. You have to admit he seems to be criticized for everything by your right wing!! So 300 isn't enough for you?? So how many? should we go back to 15,000, or 25,000, or even a 100,000??? What is it with you guys? There seems to never be enough weapons for your gang!! Is it because you want more tax money going to the industrial complex???????????????

    A) Not being thin skinned; just really tired of everything being turned into an “Obama” matter, when 9 times out of 10, it isn’t him, it’s just his policies.

    B) I didn’t advocate creation of new weapons; I said don’t cut what we have; so don’t go reading things into things that aren’t there.

    C) I’m not right wing; I’m libertarian; and therefore stand against most right wing and left wing policies.

    If any war got to the point where we needed to deploy more than China's arsenal of 300 nuclear warheads... Mankind would be extinct!!! Think before you speak folks! Facepalm!

    NO!!! Because if we only had a match to China, they might be tempted to try it. Like it or not MAD worked; 300 will not totally destroy China or any other rival power out there. The threat of use, prevented the actual use.

    "Because if we only had a match to China, they might be tempted to try it."

    That is complete lunacy with no basis in reality. It would be suicide to start nuclear war.

    "300 will not totally destroy China or any other rival power out there."

    The point I was making, is that if a war started that involved hundreds of warheads being launched by multiple countries, it wouldn't matter who started with what, civilization would be setback in a major way! In other words, everyone loses!

    That number assumes a lot of things that would never happen. First, Russia would have to find, prepare, and launch their nukes at the United States which is not only operationally impossible, but strategically fruitless and contradictory to what they currently stand for. Then North Korea and China would have to launch their nukes at us as well. Essentially, every nuclear country in the world, including some of our allies would have to attack us. So your premise is fantasy!

    Furthermore, Obama hasn't said that we are going down to 300 nukes. So, all things considered, this talk serves no purpose!

    But again, given the realities of nuclear stockpiles, the internationally understood results of a nuclear war, and the fact that Obama hasn't decided to shrink Americas arsenal, there really is no reason for alarm or fear mongering.

    Everything concerning nuclear warfare is lunacy; you won’t get an argument from me on that. Nuclear build up though, was always about projecting power; the threat of force. If we can’t project enough fear from the nuclear weapons; then our standing on the world stage is diminished.

    None of us really know what would happen to civilization if a nuclear exchange was to take place. But in your thoughts on this; I would like to remind you, that the really big nuclear weapons of the cold war, the 2+MT weapons, are already gone. Our biggest nuclear weapon is 1.2MT; with the vast majority of their yields coming in under 500KT. We even have several with variable yields, which will produce an explosion less powerful than the one on Hiroshima. By comparison, the Mt. Saint Helens 1980 eruption was 24MT.

    You don't think the Chinese know nuclear weapons?

    It's because you liberals at fools that prefer to be sodomized by our enemies than standing up like men of honor with your countrymen.
