Obama and disarmament: one of his longest-held dreams — 11 Comments

  1. Dear Infantile Majesty,

    Disarmament? Yep, in a massively dangerous world—much of it currently aflame—UNILATEREL Disarmament is a brilliant action. It demonstrates righteous intentions, purity of heart & motive, weakness as a model for others and fine role modeling.

    An Icon of Brilliance & Fine Protection for our country and our friends worldwide. TRUST & Respect is what those friends have for us as a result of your actions. Bless you….Yep. Bless Your High Mindedness,’Yo.

  2. To address a tiny part of this post:

    When Gorbachev came to NY as a hero (when as Rush has said many times, the American media had a Gorbasm) he gave a press conference.

    The Times reported what he said in a very long article. I may not remember the details well, but one thing I do remember.

    At the very end of the article Gorbachev was quoted as saying explicitly that Ronald Reagan and SDI played a principal role in the destruction of Russian tyranny and militarism.

    I remember this because what he said should have been in the first paragraph and the headline. But what he said contradicted all the party line thinking of American leftists for many years.

    I wonder on occasion (such as this) whether anybody since has repeated what Gorbachev said as reported in the Times (other than me).

    It would seem pretty definitive.

  3. I wonder what the left’s response will be when Iran tests its first nuke?
    What will be their response when Saudi Arabia tests its first nuke a month later?
    It’ll be hard to deny the proliferation taking place at that point.

  4. Beverly put it more succinctly, but I wanted to note that arms control advocates seem to have a lot in common with gun control advocates.

    Do they not understand that only moral and decent individuals and nations obey such laws and treaties, while criminals and outlaws flout them and thus gain an advantage?

    Or do they understand that, and consider it a preferred outcome?

  5. he didnt write dreams of my father, so that technically is not part of his paper trail.

    Intent of Russian military aircraft near U.S. shores remains unclear

    U.S. F-22 fighter jets scrambled about 10 times last year – twice as often as in 2013 – to monitor and photograph Russian Tu-95 “Bear” bombers and MiG-31 fighter jets that flew over the Bering Sea without communicating with U.S. air controllers or turning on radio transponders, which emit identifying signals.

    The Russian flights are in international airspace, and it’s unclear whether they are testing U.S. defenses, patrolling the area or simply projecting a newly assertive Moscow’s global power.

    “They’re obviously messaging us,” said Flores, a former Olympic swimmer who is in charge of Tin City and 14 other radar stations scattered along the vast Alaskan coast. “We still don’t know their intent.”

    I was following the argument just fine until I ran across this paragraph. Then I became totally confused.

  8. This came at a time that the USSR itself was falling further behind economically–much more so than many in the U.S. Intelligence Community believed.

    After the collapse of the USSR the Russians admitted that those wonderful economic statistics published by the soviets were just fiction. However they fooled lots of western analysts who concluded that the USSR was doing just fine.
