Staggering: Obama to Cut Nukes by 80%

I am fully aware of who Leon Panetta is, and I also know he pushed back against some of the administration’s positions when he was Director CIA, though in vain. Recall that I said there was a 2% chance he would put his country ahead of his party. That means he is 98% Dem and 2% patriot, unlike, say, Pelosi and Reid, who are both 100% Dem and 0% patriot.

If Panetta is “cheering on” the unilateral disarmament of the United States then his 98% Dem has trumped his 2% patriot.

Perhaps YOU should do “a little research” on Panetta.

Could our arsenal destroy Russia assuming;

1)The Russians/Chinese haven’t developed the technology to track/stalk our missile subs undetected and sink them before they can fire.

2) Assuming that with our subs lost, we have enough land based nukes to survive a 1st strike.

3) That if some of our land based nukes survive 1st strike, there are enough of them to severely damage Russia. WWII proved the Russian govt. and population are willing to absorb unthinkable casualties.

4) That our nukes would even work. As far as I know, our arsenal hasn’t been upgraded since whenever. They might not detonate and would just hit the target with a thud.

5) That obama would even order a retaliation. Considering how much he loathes this country, he may welcome a nuke attack against us as payback to whitey.

6) If he was willing to retaliate, would he survive long enough to order it? A Russian sub off the east coast could vaporize DC 5 minutes after launch if not sooner.

7) The Russians don’t have a suitcase nuke in DC that would obliterate the govt. and Pentagon before they launched a strike against the rest of the US.

You can track a submarine from space.

Wrong Paul is an anti-Semitic nutbar and surrender monkey who believes we have no enemies. He would get us all killed.

[chessplayer]

Like dumbo, Paul believes the world would be a paradise if the US didn’t exist. His 1st act as prez would be to go on a worldwide apology tour.

fellow patriot, methinks

[House Atreides]

This is a very naive belief and is far from the truth.

[combat_boots]

0bama has specifically said we can withstand a terrorist attack.

Bear in mind that he and his gang have now endorsed START II, which means a 70% reduction at large. Now, to chop the remains to bits.

What IS he asking for? Are there doubts?

[ctdonath2]

Perhaps the military will have enough and see to it he be removed from office before more damage be done.

[mcshot]

I stand corrected. Its been approximately 45 years since I took the oath and my failing memory needed some help. Unfortunately the result is the same - we sink.

What if they have discovered a stealth technology for subs that makes it impossible to detect them. Our ‘boomers’ would be sitting ducks.

[U-238]

Most submarines are built with an emphasis on stealth.Advanced propeller designs, extensive sound-reducing insulation, and special machinery allow the submarine to be undetected but they have to eliminate the “submarine wake” and the sonar buoyos.In 1984, the U.S. Navy oceanographer aboard the “Challenger” space shuttle into space and successfully to detect other submarines of the ripple. Currently, the U.S. Navy anti-submarine satellite is in space and submarine sonar array, sea anti-submarine ships, air anti-submarine aircraft, together constitute the three-dimensional anti-submarine network.DARPA is working on anti submarine detection warfare.

In May 14,2011 , “Atlantis,” conducted last space shuttle flight, the crew, including Captain U.S. Navy submarine force, U.S. forces may take the opportunity to further test the potential of satellite hunting technology.

It’s the suitcase nuke that makes the ultimate nightmare scenario. The Russians wouldn’t have to launch missiles from land or sub. Vaporize Congress, the White House (and the ‘football’), and the Pentagon with a suitcase, and they could launch the rest of their stuff at their leisure without fear of retaliation. Without the codes, the subs couldn’t launch their stuff.

[U-238]

There are three such “footballs” in existence. The first travels with the President, a spare is kept at the White House, and the third is with the Vice President. Anyways, the missiles would still be launched by the commander of National Military Command Center and multiple airborne command posts .

[U-238]

National Military Command Center is responsible for the emergency action messages that are relayed to the submarines to launch their missiles.

Without civilian authorization? With a suitcase, the NMCC would be taken out. What I’m guessing is that they would choose a time when all civilian authority is in town.
