Meanwhile, over in the former Soviet Union:
~~ Bear Bombers Over Guam ~~
Russian nuclear bombers circle Guam
Washington Free Beacon, Feb 15 2013
...The bomber incident was considered highly unusual. Russian strategic bombers are not known to have conducted such operations in the past into the south Pacific from bomber bases in the Russian Far East, which is thousands of miles away and over water.
John Bolton, former U.N. ambassador and former State Department international security undersecretary, said the Russian bomber flights appear to be part of an increasingly threatening strategic posture in response to Obama administration anti-nuclear policies.
“Every day brings new evidence that Obama’s ideological obsession with dismantling our nuclear deterrent is dangerous,” Bolton said. “Our national security is in danger of slipping off the national agenda even as the threats grow.”
Defense officials said the bombers tracked over Guam were likely equipped with six Kh-55 or Kh-55SM cruise missiles that can hit targets up to 1,800 miles away with either a high-explosive warhead or a 200-kiloton nuclear warhead.

As we dismantle, dismiss and discard buildings, equipment and highly trained people from what's left of our rotting, bare-boned 50 year old US nuclear weapons infrastructure, well, can't you just "Feel the Love" from overseas?

The Russians can now fly next to our territories with nuclear tipped cruise missiles. How very special.
Speaking of not ending well, did anyone read about the China troop movements massing on the eastern side of China? Meanwhile, the politicans are busy disarming the citizens of California and the US. The Chinese are cheering this on, saying that Americans should be disarmed.
You have the Socialist Democratic Party in control, voted into office by the worse people this nation has to offer, what do you expect. Feb 16, 2013 at 3:29PM is right on the money.
the worse people this nation has to offer,
(BTW, I would have used worst).
What is next in your kind of democracy? Kristallnacht?
Also the cold war is over, get over it.
Pretty early to be drunk, huh?
Right on and here's the typical type that put Obama into office twice http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/19/ohio-poll-worker-obama-supporter-investigated-for-potentially-voting-six-times/
Meanwhile, the economy is in horrible shape (regardless of what all the happy talking heads say on places like CNBC and CNN) and millions of hard working people who make a decent wage in the defense industry are about to be thrown on the street.
This country is truly messed up!
Bear bombers took out the Oregon Ducks tonight.
