President Barack Obama’s efforts to significantly curtail U.S. nuclear weapons without seeking the proper Senate approval are at best misguided and worst illegal, sources tell Newsmax.

Efforts to push the boundaries of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) with Russia are ill-advised, sources say. A proposal that seeks to achieve nuclear arms reductions outside the framework of New START, however, would run afoul of the law.

With obama we're an occupied country, as though we've lost a war. Vigilant resistance too late? He destroys EVERYTHING America built over the modern era, like NASA. He doesn't believe in exceptionalism, so he's destroying the evidence that proves him wrong. And his actions may get us all killed soon.
This lowering of our shields is what obama is ALL about. Destroying NASA was also his pet project.
