Obama is beyond contemptible... he has completely bought into the SJW anti-WMD narrative culminating in his Hiroshima Apologies speech to the Japanese who executed the Death March of Bataan murdering thousands of USA POWs. Obama has literally spoken about unilaterally disarming the USA of all nuclear weapons. How totally stupid are these SJW Marxist Obamunists?
Nuclear weapons and Madd have kept megalomaniacs from attacking the USA since 1945. Pure and Simple.
Obama is a fool and traitor and incapable of realizing that his ordering thousands of US Troops to their deaths protecting the Saudis and Gulf Emirates and ordering more thousands of Drone Strikes over the past 8 years with numerous collateral casualties is NOT morally superior to the Atomic Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to bring a decisive end to WWII. What Obama will never know because he never served is what Harry Truman knew from serving as a US Army Captain in the Trenches of WWI... Modern war is hell and when facing a fanatic enemy with radicalized ideologies the only effective way to win such a war is to break the enemies will to fight with devastating and overwhelming force that crushes the enemies ability and will to fight on. This was the policy of Ancient Rome when building an Empire as well as Genghis Kahn who was even more Ruthless that the Romans
Drone strikes are small surgical attacks that have the opposite effect - they inflame and anger our enemies and encourage them to fight harder and longer and is a major reason why we have been in Afghanistan and again Iraq and now ISIS Syria region for more than 15 years - our limp wristed service shirking CiC has no clue about the conduct of War only being won decisively with overwhelming force. The SJW brainwashed Obamunists have dragged on our middle east misadventures for another 8 years in support of his NeoCon Masters because they do not want to end the endless wars in the middle east and then lose their stranglehold on the US and their Miltary Police State Industrial Complex war profits - money that is better spent on Rebuilding the USA according to Mr. Trump.
Apologist in Chief Obama issues a disgraceful smear of the Veteran's who won WWII in Japan - on the eve of Memorial Day and he wonders why patriotic Americans hate him so much and are so devoted to Mr. Trump.
Obama Apologizes for Hiroshima
http://www.newsmax.com/PeterPry/deterren...id/731741/
The latest slap in the face to patriotic Americans who still "cling to their guns and bibles" from the divider-in-chief is President Obama's apology for the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima, that ended World War II, just before Memorial Day weekend.
Liberal pundits insist Obama's speech at Hiroshima on May 27, 2016, was no apology, despite such guilty apologetics as these:
"Yet in the image of a mushroom cloud that rose into these skies, we are most starkly reminded of humanity's core contradiction . . . How easily we learn to justify violence in the name of a higher cause."
"Hiroshima teaches this truth . . . The scientific revolution that led to the splitting of the atom requires a moral revolution as well."
"The memory of August 6, 1945 must never fade . . . It fuels our moral imagination. It allows us to change."
"Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known not as the dawn of atomic warfare but as the start of our own moral awakening."
Sounds like an apology, like spittle on the memory of the great generation who won World War II, who Obama implies were morally inferior to himself.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the best of bad moral choices. The atomic bombings made unnecessary an invasion of Japan and saved hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides.
Obama has never understood the crucial importance of nuclear weapons to U.S. national security.
Nuclear arms as the most destructive weapons are also the most powerful politically and psychologically, shaping the mental geography of international relations, casting a shadow of influence over war and peace and even the daily lives of nations.
Nuclear dominance makes possible conventional military aggression without resorting to nuclear arms, and makes possible victory without war — through nuclear blackmail and intimidation.
Accordingly, the rapid modernization by Russia and China of new generations of advanced nuclear weapons and missiles — that have no counterpart in the West — is alarming.
The U.S. nuclear deterrent is decades old, decreasingly credible, and there are no near-term prospects of correcting the growing strategic imbalance between East and West in modernity and technological advancement of nuclear weapons:
The U.S. B-21 next-generation strategic bomber, designed to replace the venerable B-2 whose stealthiness is fast disappearing against new Russian and Chinese radar technologies, will not see Initial Operating Capability (IOC) until, at the earliest, 2020.
U.S. ballistic missile submarines, the survivable backbone of the U.S. nuclear deterrent, during the Cold War used to number 41, have been reduced to 14 aged Ohios, and will be further reduced to 12 Ohio Replacement Program submarines scheduled for IOC in 2031.
U.S. Minuteman ICBMs, now decades old and long past their original service life, may be replaced by a new ICBM after 2030, although the Obama Administration and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter oppose any new ICBM program.
Thus, a gaping window of vulnerability yawns open in the technological nuclear balance that has no prospects of being closed for many years.
What might Russia, China, North Korea, or Iran do with this opportunity?
In the worst case, merely about 50 ICBMs like Russia's SS-18 could make a disarming surprise attack, delivering 500 highly accurate warheads against the U.S. nuclear deterrent's 450 Minuteman silos, three strategic bomber bases, two ports where half the ballistic missile submarine fleet (seven boats) is normally anchored, and key command and control centers.
Would the seven Ohios at sea survive the scores of Russian attack submarines hunting them? Would any surviving Ohios be able to receive an Emergency Action Message through a Russian Super-EMP attack? If any Ohios survive and can execute a ragged, uncoordinated retaliatory strike against some Russian missile silos (many empty) and bomber bases (all vacated), what would then be the fate of U.S. cities?
Today, even North Korea, with its 6 KN-08 ICBMs, could potentially destroy the 3 U.S. strategic bomber bases, 2 Ohio submarine ports, and make an EMP attack that could cripple the U.S. nuclear deterrent and civil society.
The waning credibility of the U.S. nuclear deterrent explains why Russia, China, and North Korea are increasingly aggressive.
The credibility of the U.S. nuclear deterrent is further diminished by President Obama's very public contempt and abhorrence for the idea of using nuclear weapons to defend Western Civilization — even during World War II at Hiroshima.
If President Obama and his fellow travelers would not authorize Hiroshima and Nagasaki — when the moral and strategic necessity of ending World War II and saving hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives on both sides was clear — then they are sending an unambiguous signal to potential adversaries that the U.S. will not use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.
Obama's naive quest for "a world without nuclear weapons" by disarming the U.S. could make America the victim of future Hiroshimas and Nagasakis.
