Obama Wants To Cut Nuke Arsenal By 40%

A Department of Energy document, presented to Congress in May but just now being let out to the public, details that Obama wants to cut the US nuclear arsenal by 40% by the year 2021.

Obama's Secretary of State Clinton back in May announced to the world that we currently had 5113 warheads in our stockpile. What exactly they wanted to accomplish by giving this information to our enemies is not clear.

Now, they've detailed that they want to cut our forces to around 3,000 warheads. This is unilateral disarmement - no one else in the world is going to cut their nuclear forces, including the Soviets and Chinese - the very countries Obama is trying to suck up to.

Unbelievable stupidity. If you want to cut the nukes, fine. But why tell all of our enemies exactly what we have and what we are doing? It's simple - Obama wants all of our enemies to be his friends, and he thinks that by appearing to be weak and appeasing they will love him as he loves himself. All they are really doing is laughing their asses off at his stupidity.

Putin Dictates US Defense Policy

Vladimir Putin, Russia's true Czar, on Dec. 29 in a web posting stated the following:

"The problem is that our American partners are developing missile defenses, and we are not.

But the issues of missile defense and offensive weapons are closely interconnected. ... There could be a danger that having created an umbrella against offensive strike systems, our partners may come to feel completely safe. After the balance is broken, they will do whatever they want and grow more aggressive.

In order to preserve a balance while we aren't planning to build a missile defense of our own, as it's very expensive and its efficiency is not quite clear yet, we have to develop offensive strike systems.

They should give us all the information about the missile defense, and we will be ready then to provide some information about offensive weapons."

- Vladimir Putin, Russian Prime Minister, Dec. 29, 2009

Now, a real world translation;

Putin is laying down a line in the sand to Obama.

Russia has not developed (that we know of) any type of missile defense shield - not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't afford it, and apparently have been unsuccessful in stealing the technology from us.

Putin regards our missile defense shield as an advantage - and Russia cannot stand for us to have an advantage.

Putin wants Obama to both give him all the technical details of missile defense (so they can build their own without paying for the development), and restrict our own use of missile defense. In other words, Russia wants the advantage ....

Putin is dangling a carrot/threatening to build more nuclear tipped missiles to point at us if Obama doesn't agree to both of these conditions.

Obama, who wants to unilaterally castrate US defense forces and policy, is likely to sit up and bark agreement to whatever Putin wants - because he wants to be seen as the force for peace in the world.

Now, missile defense, a completely defensive system with no capability to attack an enemy, should be a thing regarded highly by everyone in the world. The people whose weapons it makes irrelevant are scared of it, and are twisting world opinion against it in hopes of defeating it politically. Only in Obama's America would our own leadership think a defensive system is a bad thing.

Obama Orders Second Nuke Disarmament Study From Pentagon

President Obama, Airhead in Chief, has ordered the Pentagon to produce a second study detailing unilateral nuclear weapons cuts by US Armed Forces.

The study is to identify nuclear weapons systems that can be elimintated from our arsenal. Ths second study was ordered after the first study didn't make cuts deep enough for Obama's tastes.

For those who don't understand, unilateral disarmament means that we put down and eliminate weapons systems without any agreement from other countries that they will do the same.

Obama is doing this because the far left kook fringe wants us to be unarmed and helpless. He also wants to get praise from all of his buddy tinpot dictators around the world. Does he actually think that Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, North Korea, Iran, Britain are going to say "gee whiz, we ought to do the same"? No - they're going to be praising him in public, while laughing their asses off in private at the stupidity of this buffoon.

Obama Threatens to Veto Additional F-22s

Obama the Immaculate has threatened to veto his own defense bill, after Senators added funds to build an additional 7 F-22 fighters.

Obama, and his lackey in the Defense Department Gates, have stated they want to cap production at 187 aircraft. This figure is far less than the Air Force had previously determined was the minimum combat effective number of aircraft, 381, and lightyears from the original planned production run of 700+.

The F-22 is an air superiority fighter. It is intended to fight and defeat the latest Russian and Chinese fighters, which are used by those nations and dozens more around the world. Without the Raptor, air superiority over the battlefield cannot be assured, putting our ability to win a major conflict in serious doubt.

The F-22 is extremely expensive - it has been overengineered, the victim of poorly structured contracts, and low production numbers. Economy of scale never came into play with the Raptor, simply because of the low numbers. The additional 7 aircraft would have cost about $350 million each. That's a lot of money, but a drop in the Obama bucket.

7 aircraft is about half a squadron's worth. Their procurement would mean another combat deployable unit in the USAF, and with the incredible shortfall of aircraft the Air Force is facing, that could be critical in upcoming conflicts.

Update - Both House and Senate versions of the upcoming defense budget deleted all funding for the F-22, except a small amount to be used to shut down the production line. So, F-22 production will end after 187 jets have been completed. Arrogant, short sighted idiots ......
