Obama makes a huge consession to Russia on a missile defense sheild in Europe designed to defend against Iranian missiles without any concessions whatsoever from Russia or Iran.
.... JFK was similar, he projected weakness and as a result we end up with Russia shipping nukes to Cuba among many other things. ....
Are you sure? Russia has made concession to USA as well, if you do not know about this, it's your own problem.
You mean Cuban missile crisis. I see you know very bad the history of your own country))) actually in 1961 USSR located Russian missiles in CUBA. Why? Because USA earlier located American missiles in Turkey!!!! It was the cold war. Do you know, where Turkey is? Turkey is very close to Russia, and American missiles in Turkey were very dangerous for USSR. So, soviet government had no choice, and USSR located missiles in CUBA. It was just answer. So, your opinion is absolutely wrong!!! Learn your history)))
See here is my problem with awarding someone who has not earned a peace prize the Nobel prize.
It devalues the hard work, and effort of those that did earn it. It cheapens and demeans those who will recieve it later.
Without twisting logic all to hell, how in the world can someone justify giving a award for potential?
You dont give every soldier a Medal of Honor because they might just do something really brave.
You dont give every guy in MotoGP a trophy cause they showed up.
You dont give both teams in the SuperBowl a ring.
Accomplishment is rewarded. Not effort, not potential.
This is a slap in the face to those that earned it. Mr. Nobel would never of approved.
Harry S. Truman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Truman had the missles placed there in 1949. They were in the process of being removed when the cuban crisis happened.
They were obsolete and served no useful purpose at the time.
Please study your history before commenting unless you want to look dim.
Seriously? LOL
On four occasions between mid-October 1961 and August 1962, Jupiter MRBM mobile missiles carrying 1.4 megaton of TNT (5.9 PJ) nuclear warheads were struck by lightning at their bases in Italy. In each case, thermal batteries were activated, and on two occasions, tritium-deuterium "boost" gas was injected into the warhead pits, partially arming them. After the fourth lightning strike on a Jupiter MRBM, the U.S. Air Force placed protective lightning strike-diversion tower arrays at all of the Italian and Turkish Jupiter MRBM missiles sites.
By the time that the Turkish Jupiters had been installed, the missiles were already largely obsolete and increasingly vulnerable to Soviet attacks. President John F. Kennedy ordered the removal of all Jupiter MRBMs upon taking office in 1961[citation needed]. The Air Force, however, delayed removal and the President was infuriated to learn that they had not yet been removed more than a year later. All Jupiter MRBM's were removed from service by April 1963, by this point a maneuver useful as a backdoor trade with the Soviets, in exchange for their earlier removal of MRBMs from Cuba.
The missles were much more dangerous to the host country than yours. They were a flawed and obsolete design. The were ordered removed in 1961, were obsolete when installed.
Sorry, but I know what I know, and just saying it isnt so doesnt make it so.

Well if it comes from Fox news it MUST be true.. Fox news is a joke.. I have never seen such hatred towards a president.. When I hear older people saying "I just dont trust him" It really sounds like they wanna say the N word but know better... I cant believe people are still like this these days...
