The New Start Treaty

The Obama administration is trying to push through a treaty with Russia that will reduce the number of nuclear weapons each country has. This may sound nice, but a little bit of logic tells us that this will put our national security at risk. Right now we are not enemies with Russia, and we are not worried about them attacking us. On the other hand North Korea and Iran do have nuclear weapons, and we are worried about them attacking us. Who in their right mind would reduce the number of nuclear weapons we have while our enemies are continuing to build more. Obama may think he is making the world a safer place by getting rid of nuclear weapons, which he may in the short term, but in the long run he is really making it more dangerous for America and all of her allies.
