This what I think about Obama's plans for gun control , the economy and for our national defense. He wants us flat assed broke, personally unarmed and having one of the weakest national defenses in the world. Obama, Holder and their cronies have been making deals with the UN to disarm US citizens, and using scams like Fast and Furious to justify it. In the Start III Treaty Obama agreed that defensive weapons shouldn't nullify offensive weapons. It is a matter of record that Obama if elected has plans to work out deals with the Russians on missile defense that he doesn't want to make public until after Nov. 2012. He has stated this before at the treaty signing.
He will leave Europe similarly without adequate missile defense.
Obama to get the treaty signed agreed to update our nuclear weapons and launchers. He hasn't done that and he has stated that he thinks we should unilaterally drop to 300 or less nucs.
From page 2 of the Treaty.
Recognizing the existence of the interrelationship between
strategic offensive arms and strategic defensive arms, that
this interrelationship will become more important as strategic
nuclear arms are reduced, and that current strategic defensive
arms do not undermine the viability and effectiveness of the
strategic offensive arms of the Parties,
From the White House rhetoric on missile defense;No Constraints on Missile Defense and Conventional Strike: The Treaty does not contain any constraints on testing, development or deployment of current or planned U.S. missile defense programs or current or planned United States long-range conventional strike capabilities.
More Obama rhetoric that he has not delivered on;“We have addressed both of those. Missile defense is not constrained by this -- by this treaty. And we have in our budget, the president's budget that went to the Hill for F.Y. '11, almost $5 billion for [new] investment in the nuclear infrastructure and maintaining the stockpile. So I think we have addressed the concerns that there may have been on the Hill, and so I echo the sentiments of Secretary Clinton. I think the prospects are quite good.”
From 8 April 2010
President Medvedev and I have also agreed to expand our discussions on missile defense. This will include regular exchanges of information about our threat assessments, as well as the completion of a joint assessment of emerging ballistic missiles. And as these assessments are completed, I look forward to launching a serious dialogue about Russian-American cooperation on missile defense.
