Red Storm Rising

I've written before about my thoughts on Russia sliding back toward despotism and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's role in the regression. Two news items, one not really new, have my thoughts turned towards Russia again. The first is that a Russian government run oil firm is taking a major stake (5%) in British Petroleum. The second, and this is not new, is that Russia reserves the right to withdraw from the START nuclear arms treaty if it feels "threatened" by the West. Russia already convinced our preemptive surrender President to give up any effective missile defense shield in exchange for the START treaty, which actually only requires that the US downsize its own nuclear missile stockpile, as the terms of the START treaty apparently would actually allow an increase in the Russian stockpile. President Obama abandoned allies in the Czech Republic and Poland as his first act of preemptive surrender to Russia on the missile shield issue earlier in his administration.
President Obama's domestic disasters are only exceeded by his foreign policy idiocy.

  1. Maybe all liberals should receive a free lobotomy as part of this incredible health plan we are being forced into. Their brains just have to be wired wrong. I can't see why else they would believe that big government is good when there is so much evidence to the contrary. And why else would Obama believe that his speeches will bring peace on earth and awestruck cooperation from our enemies?
