Russia has seized the Crimea. 50,000 Russian troops are sitting on the eastern border of the Ukraine ready to strike at the least provocation. Russia has abrogated the 1994 Budapest Memorandum in which the Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for its  territorial integrity guaranteed by the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia.

And now it has been revealed that Russia is violating the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty that bans the testing, production, and possession of nuclear missiles with a range between 310 and 3400 miles. In the face of all that, the Pentagon announced yesterday drastic cuts to US nuclear forces four years AHEAD of schedule in accordance with the 2010 New Start treaty with Russia!! And  Russia already is known to have a 4 to 1 numerical  superiority in tactical nuclear weapons.

And on top of this, the United States has already announced it is cutting back on the size of its army, navy and air force back to 1940 levels!! One must wonder on whose side the Obama administration is on?  What is happening here is frightening and utterly beyond all understanding. Somehow the American people need to know the answer to this existential question.
