View Full Version : Obamas Nuclear Farewell : WSJ 8.5.16 Editorial
Guest

" With his time in office winding down, President Obama plans to make a valedictory round of changes to U.S. nuclear weapons policy. The aim is to cement his cherished " Prague Agenda " , named for the Czech city where in 2009 he set out his vision for a nuclear free world . The moves would more likely cement his legacy for arms control illusions that are producing a new era of nuclear proliferation ."
" Mr. Obama`s Prague Agenda has consisted mostly of shrinking and weakening the US nuclear arsenal , as he did by signing the 2010 New Start Treaty [ The Reset Button ] with Russia and deferring the modernization of aging US nuclear platforms ."
" This gives America`s friends reason to doubt its nuclear umbrella ,while giving adversaries more incentive to grow their arsenals . "
" Mr. Obama has already entered a brave new world of executive overreach by ignoring Congress on immigration and sending the Iran Deal to the UN before submitting it as a " non-treaty " to The US Senate . This would be a new low , undermining America`s nuclear deterrent while showing contempt for congressional bounds . "

How big is our nuclear arsenal? How many times can we blow up the entire world? Our nuclear arsenal is never going to go away unless of course Trump gets elected president, and uses it. This is the same fear mongering as about the strength of our military. We are so head and shoulders above the rest of the world that a little reduction isn't going to hurt us at all. If the Republicans were so worried about the strength, they would never have push the sequester to get to a balanced budget.

It is NOT just about the number of nukes we have it is about the very old technology that drives it . Some of our delivery / launch systems are reliant on floppy discs to launch them .
Many of our bunkers are rusting into poor condition . Sixty -Minutes covered these issues within the past year . In fact there is a particular wrench that is necessary to tighten certain parts on
a particular type of launch vehicle that is in such short supply that the crews have to send it from one to another via Fed-Ex .

Yes, I read it and thought to myself that Obama from day one has made every effort domestically, economically militarily and with foreign policy to weaken this nation. One has to be guarded about the reasons but irrespective of Obama's motives he has been on the wrong side of the argument from day one. He seems to be unaware of the manifest consequences of his actions. I suppose he is narcissistic enough to believe his own press about his omnipotence
Now we have Hillary who wants to have the baton passed to her so she can continued down this road to perdition. And as noted on these pages we have the uninformed that applaud their efforts and to deflect further marginalize one of the more honest and informative publications left. It is indeed exasperating at times to have to deal with people whose only response to an article such as this is "oh that old rag" vis a vis commenting on the implications of said policy. One wonders why they participate in political talk when they don't talk but offer bumper sticker phrases and name calling believing that is their argument...and the beat goes on

Dear Guest: Perhaps what you might want to do is to look at the details of the budget you present and its efficacy. A comparison to other nations means little. Department of Defense and intelligence communities have had an ongoing battle with Obama's lack of expertise along these lines and further exacerbated by foreign policy as as the Iran Deal

In what court do you put the Buffalo News?
Extremely Liberal . Never have seen them endorse a Republican for office .
As you know the BN is owned by Warren Buffet and has been for well over 25 years .
Odd thing . One of my best friends is now the " Publisher " which is equivalent to President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. He himself is a very conservative Republican but he stays far away from the Editorial and Journalism aspects and focuses on the business issues of running the paper .
IE --- the editorial side operates on it`s own and is controlled by the paper`s staff of editors not the CEO . Otherwise the reporters would walk out .
There are something like 6 different Unions operating at the Buffalo News and that alone takes a great amount of managerial effort .

What is it that makes you so blatantly blind and such a liar?
I know you didn't miss my little test, whereby I allowed 15 different posts personally attacking me...without responding in kind.
In other words, I simply give...what I get. ;)
If someone wants to debate with me in a respectful manner, I will (and have) reciprocated.
If you want to try and take personal shots without it being returned tenfold, then you better put your head between your knees or go cry to your mommy...because I don't give a $hit if I hurt your feelings. :D
All allowed by and protected by the anonymity of "guest" hiding behind the key board.
Oh the flaming ignorant hypocrisy!! :1rotfl:
At least I have the guts to let people know who is posting, whereby little chicken$hits like yourself...don't.
I have to say though, that just you saying something that stupid and ignorant makes it abundantly evident...why you refuse to identify yourself even with your stage name.
After all, you may actually have a few people upstairs fooled and you don't want to take the chance that they can see the real you. :ohdear:

Your constant attempts at diversion and throwing out red herrings, instead of addressing the facts, might actually fool some people...but you should have figured out by now it doesn't me. ;)
I simply proved that we spend more on our military than any other 10 nations combined and yet you are so biased that you make a blatantly false statement (shoved back down your throat by the facts BTW :D )....that Obama is trying to weaken our nations military? :oops:
What have you provided, except your obvious intellectually limited 'opinion?'
As to my "Personal Best Regards, you do not know my heart
Personal Best Regards:
THAT is actually the only thing I've seen posted lately from you...that is actually true.
I don't know "what is in your heart."
All I can go by are your posts down here (the ones you identify yourself with that little saying anyway, of which I have no idea whether some of the other idiotic posts in this forum are also yours)...so I'm simply judging based on your own posts.
I have actually found myself nodding in approval on some of your posts in the main forum, but then you try and use your opinion to dispute actual facts down here...and you lose any credibility you've built upstairs.
You gave a mild rebuke to the resident putrid racists down here....then turn around and say that I am the same as those pond scum
That tells me that you are either seriously deranged, or just so biased/prejudiced and intimidated by someone who backs up what they're saying...that you are only pretending upstairs to be someone you're really not.
When you have only called out those scumbag racists once, and the in the very mildest of terms, then said I was just as bad...that told me all I need to know about the real you. :ohdear:
I can guarantee you that if someone who claims to be left leaning were posting such disgusting and purely despicable racist trash...I would be jumping down their throat every time they did it.
That's the big difference between you and me. I have honesty, integrity and ethics...that aren't just on display when I am dealing with someone that has a different political ideology than myself.
A racist, putrid and totally worthless racist human being is just that...regardless of the letter they prefer to put in front of their name.
So keep posting your "Personal Best Regards," but until you prove otherwise on a consistent basis...we both know that it is simply a platitude that you throw out in hopes someone less smart actually believes it.
Sorry Bubba... but that person isn't me. :D

The real bullies live in the moderated forums, whereby they get away with more personal attacks than anyone else...because of their little 'bully clique.'
And everyone knows of whom I'm speaking. ;)
The fact that they have been shut down of late upstairs, due to a more even-handed approach by the mods...just burns their a$$es. :D
So run along back to your little gang...you can't hide behind them down here.

The real cowards (and Azzholes) are chicken$hit scumbags like yourselves, who don't even have the guts to use your stage name when you attack other people. :oops:
What are you afraid of, that people will know what flaming hypocrites you are?
When I first came into this political forum, it was very easy to see those who were left-leaning.
They were the ones who wrote intelligent posts and weren't always leveling personal attacks toward others who had a difference of opinion.
I tried that at first, but after constant attacks I then decided to screw you chicken$hit bullies and cowards...and started giving you back a little of your own medicine. :pepper2:
Now a whole bunch of you can't stop pouting, whining, crying and stomping your feet about it. :D
When my name gets constantly mentioned in threads I haven't even participated in, THAT is the clue that I'm living rent-free inside your heads. :1rotfl:
So if you want civil discourse from me, I suggest you take a look in the mirror...and start doing it yourself first. :ho:

You're dealing with a woman...just ignore her like I do. I could write a book destroying her opinions about just about everything. But I won't waste my time. You're dealing with a female brain, it has no concept of deductive logic. If it "feels right", it must be right. It works for women, there's always some man willing to take care of them.

You are spot on. The Minuteman III systems are long in the tooth. The Trident D5 systems on the Ohio-class missile boats are much younger but the boats are getting old. The actual warheads need to be redesigned eventually also as they are getting long in the tooth. All of these systems have a finite life span.
It is NOT just about the number of nukes we have it is about the very old technology that drives it . Some of our delivery / launch systems are reliant on floppy discs to launch them .
Many of our bunkers are rusting into poor condition . Sixty -Minutes covered these issues within the past year . In fact there is a particular wrench that is necessary to tighten certain parts on
a particular type of launch vehicle that is in such short supply that the crews have to send it from one to another via Fed-Ex .
