The consequences of the US-Russian START treaty
In an announcement  with much fanfare, the President told the world that a new nuclear  weapons deal has been reached with Russia.  
We have talked about the  strategic implications of this agreement  before.  Ironically today's developments  off the Korean peninsula underscore just how dangerous the world is and  how wrong Obama is.One of the Russian "wins" in the proposed treaty  is that it ties nuclear weapons to defensive non nuclear deployments,  for the first time.  While this language is "non binding" it gives a  clear indication of how the Obama administration will act.  Expect the  President to limit defensive deployments like the missile shield that  was canceled in Eastern Europe. 
Rogue states like Iran continue to strive for nuclear weapons in  defiance of "words that matter." Such words didn't stop the rogue state  of North Korea from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and now it is threatening  to use them against the United States.  Is this anytime to signal  to the world that we are willing to pull back on anti-missile technology  and defensive weaponry?
The Obama administration and liberals foreign policy reminds me of  the parents on the reality show Super Nanny. The parents  on these shows have invariably spoiled their children and do not provide  structure or consequences for bad behavior.  The world, led by Europe  and President Obama have shown to the scoundrels of the world that there  are no consequences to their actions.  When there are real consequences  you get real results (see Libya's reaction after the invasion of  Iraq).  North Korea and Iran are just like petulant children but engaged  in a nuclear arms race. The temper tantrums of these nations could  start a world war.
  
Too bad we don't have a leader that understands what the Super Nanny does - bad behavior must have real consequences or else you only get more bad behavior
