How long before the nation’s self preservation instincts kick in?

Keep this in mind before those who attack us for being sensible about Russia of being soft on that country show up on this thread.

Its not Putin they ought to worry about; its Obama.

And to the moderator: I am not attacking any one personally here; I’m simply pointing out that if we don’t have the means to defend our national interests, we’re not going to be able to do anything more in response to our potential adversaries than to draft strongly worded letters of condemnation to them.

Take it as you like it.

We don’t need them anymore because Mooch-elle has just delivered the latest blueprints and software for all our weapon systems going back to the Civil War to the ChiComs and through them to the Putinistas, while on her multi-million Yuan vacation.

The good news is that Obama doesn't even get to PRIORITIZE defense spending.

Congress will determine how much of what is purchased. Exclusively.

This is just an example of Obama's "SHOW BUDGET" which he knew would never be enacted...thus the careless cuts to essential munitions.

Some WH staffer was told to find another $1bil in the defense budget and he did. Probably cut humvee tires and 155mm rounds too. He just went through until he hit the number without regard to WHAT was being cut.

Much ado about nothing.

The point of this reduction in Tomahawks is to spend more money on implementing LRASM. See Stick with the Tomahawk for one guys opinion. I'm sure there are many.

Obama murdered the Constitution, Law, Freedom of religion,
the Family, ... and now,
the undocumented Tyrant will put the last nail
in America’s coffin.

The EXEMPT and PROTECTED will howl in delight
for their controllers, ... again.

The Tomahawk missile program—known as “the world’s most advanced cruise missile”—is set to be cut by $128 million under Obama’s fiscal year 2015 budget proposal and completely eliminated by fiscal year 2016, according to budget documents released by the Navy.

Didn't we just give 2B to Ukraine (I wonder how much went into Georgie Soros' pocket...), and 2B to the Islamists, and 2B to Africa???

How much of our tax dollars has he steered toward his solar cell cronies, not to mention the billions and billions of dollars he's wasted?

And now that he's turned the world into a powder keg, he's all about disarming us! A stupid, stupid, people put this man in charge of their nation...

Reminds me of when Clinton ran us completely out of one of the three conventional types of cruise missiles, and down to three of another before Congress forced creation of a dedicated assembly line and purchase. The third type wasn’t used.

The report is a half-truth, because it omits how the Tomahawk has a proposed successor, the Cruise Missile XR (Extended Range). The Russians are marketing increasingly effective anti-cruise missile systems, and the Tomahawk was not suitable for striking moving targets. The new Cruise Missile XR (Extended Range) offers stealth capabilities, the ability to strike moving targets, and other improvements challenging the Russian anti-cruise missile systems.

The Hellfire has long been under consideraton for phasing out as proposed replacements were developed and scheduled for appropriations that were subsequently canceled for budgetary reasons. The latest proposed replacement for the Hellfire is the Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM).

The retirement of the Tomahawk and Hellfire missiles after long service is to be expected sooner or later, so the real question is whether or not the Obama Administration is going to proved adequate and timely funding for effective replacement missile systems?

The Vietnam era crowd that hates the military, that supported our enemies in Vietnam and since, is now running the Pentagon. Their lies and deceit when they claim to love the military and veterans is bogus from start to finish.

Wasn't Obama's budget proposal last year D.O.A. in the Senate, it wasn't even considered for a vote?

Same fate this year, IMHO.

“Enemies foreign and domestic”. Obama has both bases covered.

The Trojan Horse just keeps puking his contents all over US.

Whomever put the bridle and bit on him and set him in front of the gate certainly chose well. He was irresistible.

Perhaps the karma that takes US down will have a little something left for them once it's finished with US.

Here's some fun reading while we wait:
