Putin: Russia will build up forces without START treaty

Weren't there people here complaining before because they think Obama is being stupid by trying to push the ratification of the START treaty through? Well, this is why. Otherwise, Russia will begin arming themselves more heavily on the border of Eastern Europe. And he's not "pushing" it anyway, as Obama has wanted to ratify it for about 6 months now, but continually gets stalled.

So if a new arms war starts up, you can only blame the Republicans, especially when they come out with amazing statements like this:

They don't even know exactly what legislation is coming up, and they've decided no negotiation allowed, and they'll just block. But don't forget, they have the American people at heart, and are working for you everyday!

i hope you do understand both sides have enough nukes to destroy the planet 10 times over with or without the treaty right ?

start is nothing but bullshit to keep the masses occupied :2 cents:

Exactly, which is why I don't understand what the issue of ratifying it is. 1550 launchers for each side I think is more than enough, and better than having a Russian military build-up on their western border.

you think either side has only 1550 ? im sure each side has at least 100 extra ones hidden all over the place.

if the treaty dont matter then why make a post about it on gfy ?

this treaty is less interesting the the average would you hit it thread on gfy :2 cents::2 cents:

Because it sucks to see the world I currently live in continuously become a bigger shithole than when I first arrived. Good enough answer for ya? :)
