IRAN, N Korea, RUSSIA, CHINA all banging their chests, and Obama wants to cut our Nuclear Arenal by One-Third

I've said in the past that I've gotten used to pretty idiotic ideas coming from this President. THIS ONE, at this time in history, has to take the cake. 
President Obama’s pledge to cut the United States' nuclear arsenal by one-third is sending the wrong message to the global community, some Washington lawmakers said Wednesday. 
“Now is not the time to pursue further strategic nuclear force reductions,” Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., said following Obama’s speech in Berlin, Germany.
Inhofe was among several lawmakers who warned that cutting the country’s strategic nuclear arsenal by one-third would put America at a disadvantage against countries like Russia, North Korea and Iran. Inhofe said the president’s plan wrongly assumes that reducing the role of nuclear weapons would make the world safer. 
“Instead, our experience has been that nuclear arsenals -- other than ours -- are on the rise, Russia defies us at almost every turn, efforts to curb the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran are failing, and our allies grow increasingly uneasy about the reliability of U.S. nuclear guarantees,” Inhofe, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said.
The president called for further reducing nuclear stockpiles, and ultimately eliminating nuclear weapons, during an address in Berlin on Wednesday. "So long as nuclear weapons exist, we are not truly safe," he said. 
In the near-term, if the Senate approves the U.S.-Russia proposal, Obama would reduce the current limit for each country of 1,550 by a third, which would potentially bring the warhead stockpile to as low as 1,000.

The King of Stupid wants to weaken us while everyone else is stock piling, updating, or nuclearizing their weaponry.

2016 predicted that Pres. Obama would do this. And there isn't much we can do to stop him, either. Those who wouldn't vote for Mitt because they thought her is too much like Obama are such fools!
