First we had Vladimir Putin warning the west against socialism basically saying that the former Soviet Union tried it and it did not work and now France is the country showing backbone.
Putin’s words were those one would expect from the US only a decade or two ago. As America moves toward government takeover of private business and Socialistic plans, Putin urged that this approach would lead to disaster. It is beyond real that a leader from Russia would be warning the US about the evils of Socialism.
Top this off with French President Nicolas Sarkozy saying that France would keep its nuclear arms in order to guarantee its safety at a time when Barack Obama is working to rid the US (and presumably the world) of nuclear weapons and we can see the world is backwards.
He also challenged the growing pacifism of the continent, saying: “Does Europe want peace or do we want to be left in peace?” If the former, he went on to argue, Europe will have to provide for its defense. If the latter, it can “blindfold” itself to the world’s dangers but will likely pay a high price for such foolish behavior. “Europe isn’t simply a market or an economy,” he argued, but also a set of values that need to be defended. “Do you know anyone who can be rich without an assured defense?” he demanded.

Who could have imagined that we would reach a point in history where the Russians were giving counsel on economics and the French were discussing how to defend one’s country?
Nicolas Sarkozy said thanks but no thanks to disarmament.
This while Obama works to rid us of our weapons.
The end must be near…
The Bush administration dismantled nuclear weapons thus reducing our number. Obama wants to eliminate them completely.
