Herald the Triumph

All hail Barack Obama-bringer of peace. The Obama administration and its US mainstream media lackeys are crowing about the greatest achievement in the history of arms control. I have always been skeptical that any country that you need a formalized treaty with to further peace is a nation apt to break the treaty anyway. "Trust little, and verify much" should be the watchwords of the day as Russia seems to have held on to an evil legacy that quashes dissent and even finds journalists critical of the Russian administration murdered. The CIS has devolved into Czarist anti-democratic tendencies. She has also of late invaded, stirred up trouble, or otherwise attacked weak, tiny neighbors who have tried to move closer to the West. Each country will retain sufficient weaponry to destroy the earth several times over, the Russians are not dependable, and if Obama stays in office long enough he may fully disarm unilaterally which seems to be his heart's desire. The world remains a dangerous place, diplomacy is useless without force to back it up-China explodes in ethnic violence with our State Department urging restraint on both sides as I predicted in an earlier column today and our greatly naive, great leader signs meaningless agreements with realpolitik tough guys who are laughing at him and the country dumb enough to put him in office.
