Despite budget cuts and ban, Obama buys Russian helicopters

Its as if exploited is so illiterate that he can't read a link. The guy doesn't say the world will be bright and rosey. In fact, had you actually READ anything he wrote, he even said that within 5 years of doomsday, 80% of the population of the earth would be dead, but only 20% of those would be directly attributable to the bombs themselves. The rest would be from other causes like starvation, disease, etc.

So no, we don't have enough nuclear weapons to wipe out life on earth "Many times over". We don't even have enough nuclear weapons in the world to do it once.

But lets not glance over Obama taking money from our own military to give to the Afghan military. What was done in the 80s buying arms overseas was not done by cutting funding to our own military. In fact, during that time, our military had the largest increase in size in history. Obama is spending hundreds of millions on foreign helos for foreign countries when our own military is seeing spending cuts.

Anyone who makes an excuse for that behavior is as bad as the one doing it.

You're kind of simple, huh? Again, from your own link:

Based on new work published in 2007 and 2008 by some of the authors of the original studies, several new hypotheses have been put forth.[12][13]

A minor nuclear war with each country using 50 Hiroshima-sized atom bombs as airbursts on urban areas could produce climate change unprecedented in recorded human history. A nuclear war between the United States and Russia today could produce nuclear winter, with temperatures plunging below freezing in the summer in major agricultural regions, threatening the food supply for most of the planet. The climatic effects of the smoke from burning cities and industrial areas would last for several years, much longer than previously thought. New climate model simulations, which are said to have the capability of including the entire atmosphere and oceans, show that the smoke would be lofted by solar heating to the upper stratosphere, where it would remain for years.

Compared to climate change for the past millennium, even the smallest exchange modeled would plunge the planet into temperatures colder than the Little Ice Age (the period of history between approximately A.D. 1600 and A.D. 1850). This would take effect instantly, and agriculture would be severely threatened. Larger amounts of smoke would produce larger climate changes, and for the 150 Teragrams (Tg) case produce a true nuclear winter (1 Tg is 10^12 grams), making agriculture impossible for years. In both cases, new climate model simulations show that the effects would last for more than a decade.

Doesn't change the fact that its still just a THEORY.

Care to tell me why its ok for Obama to take money from our military and ground our airplanes to buy helos for Afgans?

[The Comrade]

so is gravity. go jump off a cliff and report your findings.
