Obama wanted a restart with Russia. The Russians respond by announcing a rearmament plan.

Russia announces rearmament plan

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said Moscow will begin a comprehensive military rearmament from 2011.

Mr Medvedev said the primary task would be to “increase the combat readiness of [Russia’s] forces, first of all our strategic nuclear forces”.

Explaining the move, he cited concerns over Nato expansion near Russia’s borders and regional conflicts.

This is the change Obama wanted.

It’s about time. I hope the Military is deployed on the border, as the Drug Insurgency in Mexico is getting worse.

Obama: Troop move to Mexican border under consideration

WASHINGTON — President Obama weighed in Wednesday on the escalating drug war on the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that he was looking at possibly deploying National Guard troops to contain the violence but ruled out any immediate military move.

“We’re going to examine whether and if National Guard deployments would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense,” Obama said during an interview with journalists for regional papers, including a McClatchy reporter.

“I don’t have a particular tipping point in mind,” he said. “I think it’s unacceptable if you’ve got drug gangs crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens.”

This is a serious situation. The fact that armed groups cross our border amounts to an invasion. If need be, we might have to launch some cross border raids of our own. We must defend our borders!

Hey Obama and company, maybe you guys need to learn from China. They have reduced taxes on some car models and presto, the sales have gone up.

China February Auto Sales Rise 25% After Tax Cuts

March 10 (Bloomberg) — China vehicle sales surged 25 percent in February, the first gain in four months, after the government cut taxes on some models, helping the country extend its lead as the world’s largest auto market this year.

Sales of passenger cars, buses and trucks climbed to 827,600, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said today in Beijing. The tally in the first two months rose 2.7 percent to 1.56 million, compared with a 39 percent decline to 1.35 million in the U.S.

What irony of history. A former Communist nation understands lower taxes, not increased spending spurs the economy. I’m not an Economic Conservative, but I’m not a Marxist like the government we have here. This is a sad day that China is becoming more capitalist, while we become Socialist.

The North Koreans are warning the Obama administration against shooting down their Missile that they might test.

N. Korea warns intercepting ‘satellite’ will prompt counterstrike

PYONGYANG/BEIJING, March 9 (AP) – (Kyodo)—North Korea warned Monday that any move to intercept what it calls a satellite launch and what other countries suspect may be a missile test-firing would result in a counterstrike against the countries trying to stop it.

“We will retaliate (over) any act of intercepting our satellite for peaceful purposes with prompt counterstrikes by the most powerful military means,” the official Korean Central News Agency quoted a spokesman of the General Staff of the Korean People’s Army as saying.

If countries such as the United States, Japan or South Korea try to intercept the launch, the North Korean military will carry out “a just retaliatory strike operation not only against all the interceptor means involved but against the strongholds” of the countries, it said.

“Shooting our satellite for peaceful purposes will precisely mean a war,” it added.

Obama better think twice about picking a fight with North Korea. It’s funny he kisses up to Iran but wants to piss off North Korea. This isn’t the change I want.
