Cementing his places as the worst potus ever, he now dooms our country to being held hostage or even destroyed by Chicoms in space.

It is more likely that our 'enemies' have built and launched better 'space weapons' than we have. It used to be about equal. Weapons have been in space for a long time. Treaty or not.

This is an attempt to limit new weapons because we don"t have anything to keep the balance

Obama is a determined, effective saboteur.

Everything he does, is to weaken our nation.

All he does is destroy.

Yes

Everyday. Everyday. And it is always something that hurts the United States.

I’m about to get tired of this.
