Russian Rearms, BO Disarms.

From Barack Obama’s socialist daydream, Bryan Bender, Boston Globe [1]:

Two defense officials who were not authorized to speak publicly said Gates will announce up to a half-dozen major weapons cancellations later this month. Candidates include a new Navy destroyer, the Air Force’s F-22 fighter jet, and Army ground-combat vehicles, the offi cials said

From the real word, Australian [2]:

RUSSIAN President Dmitry Medvedev last night ordered a large-scale Russian rearmament – including its nuclear arsenal – from 2011.

Mr Medvedev said Russia’s forces needed to be modernised to respond to international terrorism and NATO expansion.

Speaking before a meeting with defence chiefs, Mr Medvedev said a modern military “is a guarantee of our protection from any potential threat or attempts to put pressure on our nation”.

“From 2011, a large-scale rearmament of the army and navy will begin,” he said in Moscow.

Russia has nearly quadrupled its defence spending in recent years, aiming to resuscitate the military forces that deteriorated in the post-Soviet period.

 And you thought Mrs. Clinton pushed the reset button.  The World simply refuse to conform to BO’s vision.
