Guardian: Reports " The new nuclear policy is significantly more hawkish that the posture adopted by the Obama administration, which sought to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in US defence. "
Lets Get Real:
The Obama Years saw the US appease Russia, Iran, Syria, and North Korea, President Obama stated that before his 2nd term that after the election he could be more moderate when it comes to Russia, this was caught on tape, thus Russia knew he was weak, with Syria the Obama Oval did not push back when Assad used chemical weapons on his own people, also Assad had the help of the Russians in his bombing of his own people, and Obama did nothing. With North Korea we have seen Presidents as far back as Bill Clinton failing to deal with the Stalinist Regime, thus the recent tensions with NK. In East Ukraine the Russians have helped Russian rebels, with combat soldiers and weapons, the US under Trump has allowed Kiev Government to have arms. Thus any lessons from the Obama Presidency can be thrown in the bin. It is about time the US got tougher, low level nuclear weapons should be an option, that would force these rouge nations to back off, and that includes Russia. The Obama Iran nuclear deal, was a sellout, the Tehran Regime can not be trusted, very much like North Korea, the US has to be tough and remind everyone that it has the biggest red button.
