Obama is unilaterally disarming us so that we have fewer nuclear warheads than either Russia or China. This bastard's intent is to destroy "the great satan," as Muslims call us, while Iran is arming with nuclear weapons. Written By Michael via End of the American Dream Barack Obama wants to disarm America. (BY 80%!) There simply is no other way to explain his reckless behavior. On Tuesday it came out that the Obama administration is considering plans to unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by up to 80 percent . From a military standpoint, this is utter insanity. Early in his presidency, Barack Obama signed a treaty with Russia that restricts both nations to a maximum of 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear warheads. But now Obama wants to cut the size of the U.S. arsenal down to as low as 300, without requiring the Russians to do anything . In addition, we don’t even have a treaty with the Chinese, and we have no idea how many deployed nuclear warheads they have. For all we know, it could be in the thousands. Unfortunately, very few people are speaking up about this. Most Americans just assume that we have such a massive nuclear arsenal that nobody would ever dare to mess with us. Well, that was true back in the 1980s, but that is not true today. If Barack Obama does unilaterally slash the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal by 80 percent, that would make another world war much more likely. If we are sitting there with far fewer nukes than Russia and China have, they will not fear us nearly as much. But we should have all seen this coming. Back in 2009, Obama made a famous speech in Prague in which he pledged to work toward a world without nuclear weapons. Well, it looks like he plans to start by getting rid of almost all of America’s nuclear weapons. A few years ago, Obama demanded that the Pentagon conduct a “radical review” of the U.S. nuclear weapons program. When the results came back, Obama rejected them as being “too timid”. Obama is not just intent on trimming the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The truth is that he wants to gut it. Currently,the Pentagon is working on a new plan for the reduction of the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The following is from a USA Today article put out on Tuesday about this plan….AP, citing “a former U.S. official and a congressional official,” says the administration is debating at least three options to bring the U.S. stockpile down to somewhere between 1,100 and 300. The current treaty allows 1,550 Unfortunately, the truth is that the U.S. nuclear arsenal has already been cut far too much. There is no way that a few hundred nuclear warheads can be an effective deterrent in the 21st century.Retired Air Force Lt. General Thomas McInerney shared his opinion of this plan with the Washington Free Beacon ….“No sane military leader would condone 300 to 400 warheads for an effective nuclear deterrent strategy” But Barack Obama is not a “sane military leader”. What Barack Obama wants to do is to unilaterally disarm America According to CNN , the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal reached a peak of “more than 31,255 in 1967?. The Obama administration has already taken us down to a very small fraction of that. If the Obama administration takes us down to a level of 300 deployed strategic nuclear warheads, we would basically be committing strategic suicide. To get an idea of just how dramatically the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal has declined over the years, just check out this chart . Basically, thanks to Obama we could end up with less than 1 percent of the nuclear warheads that we had during the peak of the Cold War. Less than one percent.Read more : mrconservative.com
