Obama, Medvedev Call for Cut to 1,500-1,675 Nuclear Warheads

Title only - story to follow

[a fool in paradise]

He’s acting contrary to his role as Commander-in-Chief.

[TomasUSMC]

We disarm while the rest of the world arms?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

On these issues we have more in common that differences, says President Obama after meeting President Medvedev.

I am reminded of an old Cold War joke.

American: We have total freedom of speech. We can criticize our leaders, for example.
Russian: We have freedom of speech also! We can criticize your leaders.

Thus Obama wants cap-and-trade that will cripple our economy and Russia wants us to have cap-and-trade.

[johniegrad]

Obama needs to go.

[Jewbacca]

It makes sense if you support Islamist power.

[johniegrad]

Is this the agreement that he wants to bypass the Senate to approve “temporarily”?

[elhombrelibre]

He only favors the mad mullahs having nukes.

[GraceG]

I say we keep about 500 nukes on hand, that is two for every country on earth roughly and enough supplies to build 1,000 more in very short order (2 weeks to 2 months).

We also need some setup for asteroid insurance as well.

[TChris]

In Russia-speak, this translates to: “You go and cut your stockpile while we laugh at you.”

[RC2]

It’s easy for Russia to cut back. Most of their weapons are rusting away. The same goes for their Navy. Most of their Subs are rust buckets. They will show that they are cutting back but they will simply get rid of their problem weapons.

[La Lydia]

Yes, this is the one.

[LottieDah]

Anyone who does not love America to defend her has NO business being President of the United States.

[sam_paine]

Nonsense. We have ZERO strategic nukes available for our defense until at least January 2013.

Obama would never use them, in retaliation or otherwise. They are all useless for now.

[prophetic]

the smiling serpentine personality of the anti-christ continues on its unrelenting pursuit to America's destruction by now cutting our nuclear arsenal.

Btw, when has the commies (Russians) ever held up to their 'treaties'? I really suspect that they have quite a bit hidden in the Ural mountains to spring on us someday.

[shadeaud]

He'll also give up our missile defense shield and drone aircraft. Poland's defense will be up to the Poles. He may have also given up air space over Iraq for Israel aircraft. Will someone please prove he's not a natural born citizen

[Positive]

Wow! I think that's great!

If we were to engage in all out nuclear war with Russia about 95% of theirs would explode if their silos or just fizzle. The rest would miss or we would shoot them down.

Our 1500 would push Russia back the stone ages.

And think about it, any Russian missiles that got over would be aimed at the blue areas of the blue states...

[Sub-Driver]

Actually this has been under negotiation before he took office because the treaty is going to expire the end of this year....

[texrepub76]

Why doesnt Capt Knucklehead just meet with Putin instead of dealing with him vicariously through Dmitri...

This TOTUS isnt even treading water anymmore- he is so far in over his head its not even funny.

[BenLurkin]

America’s enemies want us to disarm.

[Paul Ross]

Are you crazy?

The Soviets, aka the same guys that gave us the KGB and...Putin/Medvedev...violated every single disarmament agreement there ever was.

Furthermore...keep in mind that it is OBAMA that is in charge of keeping our nuclear forces capable. And Bush was pretty bad before him...willfully not deploying any new facilities to keep our h-bombs viable. And also so heavily limiting our anti-missile capability that it would ONLY be useful against North Korea. And Obama has been slashing THAT!

I.e., be VERY AFRAID.

[mort56]

Obama = Useful idiot
Obama = Comrade

[Rockitz]

The Manchurian candidate's work is almost done. Economic destruction and now near total disarmament.

[CottShop]

[[We disarm while the rest of the world arms?]]

Yes, it’s called self-flagellation- a process that is USELESS, and simply amounts to a ‘look at how spiritual and ‘good’ I’m being’ show for others to admire- while we ‘do the right thing’ ‘ethically’, the rest of hte Radical Islamic world marches on, building nukes, aiming htem at our self-sanctified nations- but by golly, when hte ashes settle, and we are no more, the world will have ‘seen we were the self-righteous ones’ who ‘did hte right thing’ ‘ethically’- it’s nothign but show

[43north]

Hey, what did we expect?

This poseur thinks “we” voted for him to subvert and destroy the Constitution and he’s just doing what he promised during the election but the publik skoolers were too stoopid to realize it.

[tbpiper]

We disarm while the rest of the world arms?

This does too very vital things. This gives us the moral high ground in the intenational debate on peace and puts us firmly in the leadership role on progessive foriegn policy issues.

Or, on the other hand, this is just the sort of thing whe can expect from the Gelding-in-Chief.

[darth]

We could get nuked.

I’m not kidding.

If the Russkies could take us out, THEY would be the superpower.

[jackv]

Leave it to bo to resume close bonds with despots and dictators, by undermining his own country.

[Jackson57]

I’m sure Obama is willing to “spread the wealth” and give our nukes to those poor Muslim countries that don’t have any of their own ...

[golden PPK]

It only takes one nuke, stratigically-placed a couple of miles over the east coast, to take out a country. This deal is just posturing on Obama’s part to pander to the peaceniks. We all know what Iran and N. Korea would do with their one nuke and our 1500 nukes can’t do anything about it anyway.

[GregoTX]

Just like the good ol days with Jimmy C.
Peace through weaker military capabilities. When has that worked?

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[Miss Behave]

Zero is speaking now in a joint with Medvedev and he’s mispronounced the russian president’s name more than once—right in the first few sentences. LOL especially considering recently it was reported that Zero practices and practices, over and over, foriegn leaders’ names. Too funny.

[Miss Behave]

Foreign

[HollyB]

Curious to know who is going to start first? Probably us, while Putin/Medevdev have a good laugh about it.

[massgopguy]

Where is SecState Cankles? Did she go to Staples and get another Easy Button with the wrong Russian word written on it?

[Kakaze]

This "press" conference is unbelievable.

We have gone from Reagan, trust but verify.......to Obama, trust through weakness.

Maybe I should go into the bomb shelter business because we will now be more vulnerable then ever.

[jackv]

bo uses his hands too much. Comes off as lacking confidence in what he’s selling.

[Nachum]

Curious to know who is going to start first? Probably us,

Oh you know it is going to be us. LOL

[penelopesire]

Obama is signaling that he will give up our missile defense systems before it is all over as well. This man is a menace.

[wiseprince]

nuke draw down agreements are always the easiest ones to agree upon. hmmm, I wonder why

[Miss Behave]

LOL, massguy. Zero sent her to Staples so now she’s in downtown LA standing in line.

[Kakaze]

A missile system, that works against others but not Russia..........we just surrendered.

Obama, is not a stupid man he knows what he just proposed, he proves everyday he is the enemy within.

[SE Mom]

What a nightmare.

While Obama blithely states that no matter what anyone ELSE does the USA will give up one-third of our nukes, Medvedev begins to smirk- then immediately sucks the grin off his face. (Thinking to himself- fine you go ahead and show us by “leadership” and we’ll keep our nukes)

[penelopesire]

Obama is an embarrassment to this country. I wish Pravda would ask him about his birth certificate...lol.

[Miss Behave]

Did you notice that a very scruffy and backwater-looking Gibbs is standing on the side near the back doing the “calling on” of reporters? Unbelievable. And the puppeteering continues...overseas.... Now I see that when Medvedev speaks, Zero puts his nose WAY in the air. Puke.

[jackv]

Yes, gibbs could’ve at least shaved!

[Kakaze]

Did he just say,The Russians are very good at training armies and police, so we will work together, in Afghanistan?

God help us all.

[penelopesire]

Once again, Obama accomplishes nothing of substance(in regards to protecting American interests) on another foreign policy trip.

An utter failure!

[penelopesire]

The Afghans hate the Russians! How is that going to work?

(eye roll)
