Back in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney stated that Russia was still our number one opponent and that we needed to strengthen our defenses to counter their military developments. He was roundly mocked by Barack Obama, whose criticism was echoed by the main stream media, who said that the cold war was long over and that Hillary Clinton had employed the “reset” button to improve our relations and to form a partnership of global accord.
Obama has also worked diligently on downgrading our military capacity and has been seeking to push nuclear disarmament for all nations, and particularly for the U.S.
What a naive and misguided plan that has proven to be. What was not particularly difficult to see was that Vladimir Putin, premier of Russia, is intent on restoring the “glory” of the former Soviet Union by recapturing lost land such as Ukraine, creating financial tools to rebuild the Russion economy, and especially building the Russian military to project power and influence throughout the world.
All the while the smug Obama has been standing by, hollowing out our military from within and creating a “social justice” machine to increase the number of gays, transgenders and women in the military, and to drive traditional leaders out of the service and elevate military brass who will do whatever he wants them to do.
While that same strategy has been used in federal employment, the consequences are not nearly as dire as with our military. Morale of troops is low, well trained military people are leaving the service, and readiness for military engagement is weak.
And now Russia has announced that they have been building their military strength and capacity in a way that truly will threaten the peace and stability of the world, with the U.S. military unable to counter the threat.

I am more worried about the US Government than the Russian Government. I think a civil war will be fought soon in the borders of the US.
Next when it start, it will be the end of the age! & the return of the Lord Jesus Christ!
It’s true
There’s nothing to improve the system doesn’t work and hasn’t worked it was designed to combat countries like NK and Iran not Russia that why we have our nukes mutually assured destruction
MAD = mutually assured destruction this has been our doctrine from the beginning the missile defense system is designed to combat countries like NK and Iran
Dude one Russian icbm holds ten warheads our laser tech isn’t that good to shoot down all ten not to mention they would launch hundreds of missiles that’s where MAD comes to play mutually assured destruction our current missile shield is to prevent places like NK and Iran from hitting us not Russia
That should also include every other government, you can’t believe every article on FB. What about the fleet of trident submarines everywhere on the globe. Just one of those is enough to through the entire earth back to the stone age
Hmm
If they send one over, just direct it to the address that behind all of this.
BO sold out our missile shield years ago.
