REAGAN ON DETERRANCE

"The defense policy of the United States is based on a simple premise: The United States does not start fights. We will never be an aggressor. We maintain our strength in order to deter and defend against aggression -- to preserve freedom and peace. Deterrence means simply this: making sure any adversary who thinks about attacking the United States, or our allies, or our vital interest, concludes that the risks to him outweigh any potential gains. Once he understands that, he won't attack. We maintain the peace through our strength; weakness only invites aggression."

Ronaldus Magnum stated the above on March 23, 1983.

How clear cut that is. Ronaldus CLEARLY drew a line in the sand. If you attack US, if you attack our ALLIES, if you attack our VITAL INTERESTS, we're gonna ram it in deep and break it off. And we had, after Reagan took over from that limp-noodle Jimmy Carter, a military on track to do it.

Sun Tzu stated this same policy about 3,000 YEARS ago! This strategy of deterring one's enemies through strength HAS NOT changed since then and even today, it still works.

What does it takes to maintain deterrence?

It takes a leader with a set of guts, who looks out FOR THE NATION. Who looks out for the CITIZENS of this country. Who maintains a military so adept at kicking a mudhole in our enemies an then stomping it dry, as outlined in the Constitution, that our enemies would rather slit their own throat that attack us.

It has been attributed to Tiberius who came before Caligula (which it has also been attributed to) who stated: "Let them hate us so long as they fear us."

Can there be anything more closer to the truth?

When we operate from a position of strength, we also negotiate from a position of power. We can AFFORD to be kind, to be generous, to help those who are in need. When we STAND fast to our allies, when we cleave to them in a struggle, we gain trust and honor. An example of this was our relationship with Britain (before Obama) that went back to the 1800's of sticking up for one another.

We were attacked on 9/11. Why? Because al-qaeda, and OBL stated this during the Clinton regime, thought that we were a paper tiger and BJ Bubba reinforced that after he lamely fired a missile into an empty cruise missile factory that he then paid reparations on, from our tax dollars of course, not his OWN bank account.

Only a fool will think that we will never again be threatened. Obama is that fool. Those in his administration that think such are even bigger fools because THEY should know better. However this regime is full of decrepit Carterites and dolts from the BJ Bubba regime. Failed in 1979. Failed in the 90's. And they fail once again.

No better example of peace through strength exists than what happened to the Gunny in New Mexico in the mid 80's. He was on leave, on his Harley, touring America. At a near empty rest stop, he was "cruised" by three men in a pickup truck. On the third pass, they stopped, left their doors open, and approached where the Gunny sat next to his ride. The Gunny opened his jacket to reveal Poppa .45. All three executed the maneuver known as getting the hell out of Dodge. Peace (and property protected) through strength.

Hanoi John Fonda Kerry, Ted DRUNKennedy, and other leftist scumbags in the Senate and Congress have voted AGAINST keeping our military #1 in the world. As Ronaldus Magnum stated: "Every item in our defense program--our ships, our tanks, our planes, our funds for training and spare parts--is intended for one all-important purpose: to keep the peace."

What did Ronaldus Magnum see in Jan 1981, after DECADES of a liberal Congress slashing at the DOD budget? The Gipper found that we had planes that couldn't fly, ships that could not sail, a lack of trained personnel, a lack of fuel, a lack of ammo, lack of a funds for training, and a moral so low, it was barely measurable. We had a lack of recruiting and a lack of retention. The Gunny can verify that because HE WAS THERE!

Yesterday, Obysmal earned his Chamberlain moniker when he disarmed us with a bogus treaty with Russia that must not be adopted by the Senate. Liberals and the fool we have in the White House believe by banning nuclear weapons, it would make a dangerous world more safe but that could not be further from the truth! It requires US to trust an enemy so steeped in lies and deceit and for them to "destroy" their nukes or not proliferate nuclear weapons that will be unverifiable, especially if the UN is involved!

When you have a strong military, when you have a leader and a government that has a backbone, that seeks to live in peace but who won't tolerate aggression against it, then you HAVE peace. When the enemy cannot succeed to attack us by force, then they can only deal with us up front and open. Even if they are hostile to us, what do we fear from them? NOTHING! We can then move on being a rich and prosperous nation that THEN sets the example for others to follow. Only then can the Democratic process of our Constitutional Republic, shown to be the enviable system it is.

The prime example of being weak and negotiating from a position of weakness is what happened when the Western Powers neglected their military power in the 1930's. It directly led to WW2 and the slaughter of millions. Why then would Obama and his myrmidons walk down this very same path? Stupidity? Blind ideologues? Or is it a deeper motive of hating America and wanting it brought down, as a traitor would want?

When we disarm, when we fail to support our military needs, when we fail to support our allies, we send a message to our friends and foes that message is, that we lack the will to remain a free and sovereign nation. That we can no longer meet the challenge that tyrants and dictators pose to us, i.e., Chavez and Putin in Venezuela. When we stood against the Russian Bear in Western Europe, they knew they'd lose in the long run and hence, never attacked. When we saw communist intervention in Grenada and freedom threatened, we attacked it and removed the threat. We stand a watch on the DMZ in South Korea that has kept the Malignant Dwarf
and his minions at bay since 1953! How HARD is it for liberals to understand this? When we oppose offensive threat through strength and show our resolve, it has worked.

Why did Obama cancel the missile shield? In a failed bid for love and Global Kumbaya, he puts millions under the threat of a missile attack launched by the crazed mullahs and another sawed-off runt in Iran. Did it make the world any safer? No. Did it make America appear weaker? Yes. WE "had" the technological edge. WE "had" the ability to negate their missiles by shooting them down. We "had" the ability to significantly reduce any threat or actual attack against the United States. We "had" the ability to ensure that our allies (and the US) could live free of the threat of Iran and the mad mullahs, for example, yet Obama threw this advantage out like a baby with the bathwater. Stupid. Foolish. Naive.

America no longer honors our commitments under this regime. They want to perform social experiments in the military by ditching "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". They want to cut back on personnel, weaponry, equipment, supplies, etc, all in the same vein of the failed Jimmy Carter regime. Liberals, led by Obama, seek to weaken us and our allies, and to no good purpose. America and Americans have NEVER sought military superiority in order to gather an empire. We have always stood for peace and only fought when we were forced to.

It's open season on us folks, with the Weakling in the White House.

Will America never learn that when led by liberals, when put under the yoke of abject Kumbaya Liberalism, we're always put, as the Gunny's old riding buddy so succinctly puts it, "butt's up - squealing."
