The START treaty Empowers Russia

Russia is in no position to get into an arms race with the US. Their economy is not robust enough to sustain a long protracted race. By limiting our defenses we are empowering Russia.

For several years, Russia has been pouring money into expanding their influence around the world. They have made deals with countries that are very hostile to America. They have set up naval bases in South America and Syria. They have supplied our enemies, including Iran, with military equipment, including nuclear capability. All these countries are potential surrogates to battle us both militarily and economically.

Just like the old Soviet Union, Russia will not directly attack us but be the beneficiary of US conflicts with these countries. They are eroding our relationships with our friends. Eastern Europe is becoming more and more energy dependent on Russia which supplies gasoline and natural gas to Eastern Europe. Russia has flexed its power by cutting off supplies, officially for ‘technical’ reasons. However as soon as their point was made, the ‘technical’ problems seemed to disappear.

President Reagan called the Soviet Union's bluff and helped to bankrupt the them, thereby eliminating the threat they posed to the world. It is ludicrous to think that the US will attack Russia militarily. The world threat is from militant Islamic nations and groups. Russia is working on using them against us. They also know that these same elements are a real danger to them just as they are to us. The START treaty allows Russia to build ‘defense systems’ but limits the US, including protecting our friends. The Obama administration canceled missile defenses for Eastern Europe based in the Czech Republic and Poland. They even stooped to black mailing those countries by cutting off energy sources making it hard for them to push the system.

We do not need the START treaty but Russia does. Russia is not our friend, so why should we empower a country that is hostile to us. There is nothing in the treaty about real live threats to us from terrorist regimes and groups. Start is bad for America and we must not ratify it.

Naive, Ignorant, or Deliberately Destroying America

It does not matter if America is destroyed due to stupidity or deliberate action. The facts are, the Obama Administration and Congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid are systematically disassembling the fabric of America. Our Federal Government is exercising more and more control of the lives of Americans and abdicating American sovereignty to world powers who in most part are our enemies.

Just about every bill pending or in the process of developing in congress, is a means for further dominance of U.S. citizens and solidification Federal control. Cap ‘N’ Trade, ObamaCare, National Civilian Security Force, control of all the Financial Institutions, ownership of the car manufacturing, intimidation of the insurance industry, and attacks on non-compliant news services (from individual bloggers to large corporations) are all evidence of our eroding liberties.

Now we see the effect of this administration’s foreign policies. Russia just announced that it is developing a missile many times faster than any so far developed. This announcement was made after Obama killed the missile defense system to be set up in Poland and the Czech Republic. Obama has also canceled other missile defense systems and ordered to destroy much of our nuclear arsenal. These actions were to get cooperation from Russia to persuade Iran to stop its nuclear ambitions. Russia’s response was to announce its weapons development and more cooperation with Iran. Iran’s response to Obama’s Neville-ian response was to recant on an agreement they made just a few days ago.

The world sees America as being led by a weak, inexperienced, and easily fooled president and congressional leadership. We are no longer taken seriously. Just like in the Carter administration, other nations will ignore us and our enemy’s surrogates will attack our interests around the globe. Our enemies will not respect us. Without fear of reprisal, U.S. citizens will be at risk. There will be hostage taking, embassies taken over, and our military attacked. It happened under the Carter Administration, America was being kicked around with impunity. Ronald Reagan’s policies changed that. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard released the hostages held captive in our embassy. Kaddafi turned over airplane bombing suspects and gave up his WMD’s. The Soviet Union gave up (for the moment) its world dominance aspirations.

Today we are facing socialist slavery, world government rule, and Islamic subjugation. This administration is not only not trying to prevent these calamities, they are aiding and abiding those that wish to harm us. We have ignored one of the principals required to continue to live in freedom. We have not taken responsibility for our freedom. We have allowed others to become caretakers of our future. It is time we stand up and become self-reliant, responsible, and action orientated citizens in a free country. Let’s vet new public service minded candidates, pick the right ones, and work with the dedication of our founders to replace the current political career elite rulers of this country.

Appeasing the Enemy and Betraying Allies is a Road to Disaster

Throughout history, there is evidence that appeasing your enemy guaranties the enemy’s victory. Yet so many politicians keep doing so never considering past outcome of such action.

Appeasing your enemy usually comes with selling out one or more allies. President Obama is following the path of folly by Chamberlin and others. Two countries that took the chance to align with the West are Poland and the Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia).

During the debate over the America’s missile defense system for Europe, I emailed Radio Prague and other news sources in CR, lobbying for them to accept it. Assuring that America is a safer bet. This debate got quite heated in both countries and politician’s careers were on the line. In the end, both countries took a leap of faith and agreed to host the system. I say a leap of faith because both countries have been victims of betrayal before.

They both suffered terrible lose of life, destroyed infrastructure, and a ruined economy, when Western Europe, led by Britain’s Neville Chamberlain, gave into Hitler’s demands. “Peace in Our Time” became World War II.

At the end of WW II, they again were sacrificed in an attempt to appease a burgeoning enemy, the Soviet Union. Not only were they denied the reconstruction afforded to Western Europe, their new masters raped the countries of their natural resources, forced their industries to supplement the Soviet Union, and imprisoned or killed many of their citizens.

In spite of these betrayals, they aligned them self with America. After all, America has been the savior of so many in the past and the betrayals were engineered by Western Europe. They did not expect that any American president would aqueous to Russian pressure. President Obama shocked these counties and most Americans as he continues his platform of appeasement.

The irony of this move is that America gained absolutely nothing. Russia is still arming Iran and Venezuela, trying to create a puppet government in Georgia, and refuses further sanctions on Iran.

Is Obama deliberately ruining America’s reputation or is he just ignorant of history? It does not seem possible that anyone with his education could be so badly informed. His expansion of government powers to limit American’s liberties, being put into fruition by congress under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid, and foreign policy suggest a deliberate attempt at the destruction of America.

If the people do not replace congress with the right people in 2010 and then refute Obama in 2012, this country and the world are doomed.
