I usually don’t get into politics on my blog, but I changed my mind when I watched this video of a speech Obama gave regarding the disarming of America.

A goal of a world without nuclear weapons is a great one to have, don’t get me wrong, but it seems naive to think any of the developed countries (friendly or not) will give up their nuclear arsenal. Power equals influence and peace. War comes when we are weak. The best opportunity to destroy America is when she is weak, not strong. Why in the world would we want to disarm, cut military funding, and halt the advancement of future weapons technologies? With the rising powers of China and Russia coming forth with mixed thoughts about America, disarming to create peace is not only naive but a threat to our national security. I’m not trying to be pessimistic, but there will never fully be peace on earth as long as humans inhabit. If history has taught us anything, we should have learned that by now.
One last thing; negotiating with our enemies who currently have other plans and hidden agendas towards the U.S could be the most naive idea of all. Enemies don’t tell the truth and would certainly love to make a deal with us- Only to have a “hidden” agenda to pounce on the lion when she is weak.

We need the means to protect what our country stands for, our morals, and everything we have built since our founding fathers set foot on this land. Stand up for the United States of America.
