Meanwhile the Obama-Regime© does nothing
to protect America's Sovereignty from this
encroachment by Russia into Cuba putting
Bombers and ?Missiles? within a few Miles
of the US Mainland.
We are putting missiles on Russia's doorstep. This is their response.
"If the members of the Obama administration would bother to take a
stroll down memory lane, they might recall that once upon a time there
was a document called the anti-ballistic missile treaty, signed in 1972
between the United States and the former Soviet Union, which recognized
that anti-missile defense shields were inherently destabilizing, and as
such should not be deployed. The ABM treaty represented the foundational
agreement for a series of strategic arms limitation and arms reduction
agreements that followed. President Obama was 10 years old when that
treaty was signed. He was 40 years old when President George W. Bush
withdrew from it, in December 2001, and set in motion a series of events
that saw arms control between the U.S. and Russia completely unravel.
The proposed U.S. missile defense shield, to be deployed in Poland and
the Czech Republic, had the Russians talking about scrapping the INF
treaty (which eliminated two classes of nuclear-armed ballistic missiles
that threatened Europe) and deploying highly accurate SS-21 “Iskander”
missiles within striking range of the proposed Polish interceptor site.
Russia did not create the missile defense system crisis. The United
States did, and, as such, cannot expect to suddenly receive diplomatic
credit when it puts this controversial program on the foreign policy
gaming table as if it were a legitimate chip to be bargained away.
Russia has always, correctly, claimed that any missile defense system
deployed in Eastern Europe can only be directed at Russia. While both
the Bush and Obama administrations denied that was the case, Poland has
all but admitted its concerns are not about missiles coming from Tehran,
but rather missiles coming from Moscow. The American “sweetener” for a
potential Polish loss of a missile shield is to offer Poland advanced
Patriot surface-to-air missiles, whose intended target is clearly not a
Persian missile which cannot reach Polish soil, but rather Russian
missiles and aircraft which can.
There are three basic facts that the Obama administration needs to
address, but as of yet has not: First, missile defense systems are
inherently destabilizing and only contribute to the acquisition of
offensive counters designed to defeat those defenses. Second, the rapid
expansion of NATO in the past decade has in fact threatened Russia. And
third, the Iranian missile “threat” to Europe has always been illusory."
