Our miltary leaders don't agree. I doubt you could find even 1 military expert that would agree with you.
No country on earth has the capability of invading us
None
Yea, keep believing that.
I will continue living in the real word in the meantime.
Russia is not a friend or ally of the USA. Does anyone here doubt that?

Avoiding a bad nuclear deal with Iran
March 7, 2012
...
The U.S. goal is to halt Iran's nuclear activities, and that has not yet been accomplished -- Iran is spinning more centrifuges, and manufacturing more and higher-grade uranium than ever before.
If the upcoming round of talks, like previous iterations, fails to yield progress, the U.S. will be left with little recourse other than additional pressure, while Israel will have additional incentive to carry out a strike. But another alternative exists, which President Obama has yet to rule out -- that the U.S. will draw back our own redlines and accept a nuclear weapons-capable, if not nuclear -- armed, Iran. This would be a dangerous miscalculation.
While the official U.S. and U.N. Security Council stance has long been that Iran must halt uranium enrichment as part of any serious talks, Washington has demonstrated tactical flexibility in an effort to allow Iran to "save face" and get negotiations started.
...
Recently, however, there have been signs of a U.S. shift. In his speech on Sunday, the President assiduously referred only to preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons, not a nuclear weapons capability.
Likewise, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has asserted that the U.S. redline is that Iran not develop a nuclear weapon.
This leaves open the possibility of Washington acquiescing to a "latent" nuclear weapons capability, whereby Iran retains weapons-applicable components of its nuclear program, such its enrichment work, as long as it refrains from actually building a bomb.
Many analysts have urged President Obama to consider one of the various proposals that would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium, though perhaps under somewhat stronger supervision.
One of these is the so-called Russian proposal, under which Iran would address the IAEA's questions in phases and the West would reciprocally ease sanctions.
Another was the vague offer by Iranian President Ahmadinejad during his September visit to New York to cease Iran's production of highly-enriched uranium.
The allure of such a deal from the U.S. perspective is clear. Washington would cite the deal as a diplomatic triumph that averted war and limited Iran's nuclear capacity.
Likewise, the Iranian regime, having compelled the West to recognize its nuclear status and retained its enrichment program, would tout the pact as a victory.
In reality, allowing Iran to retain its uranium enrichment program would carry serious risks for the U.S. and our allies. The Institute for Science and International Security warns that "without [a halt to enrichment], Iran's enrichment program would continue to grow in capacity and increase Iran's ability to quickly, and perhaps secretly, make highly enriched uranium (HEU) for nuclear weapons in its centrifuge plants."
In other words, the Iranian regime would have its cake and eat it, too. The current sanctions drive would fizzle and existing sanctions would be eased or lifted. A military strike would effectively be taken off the table, including by Israel, which would likely feel constrained from attacking nuclear facilities blessed by the U.S. The Iranian regime, having succeeded in defying not only the U.S. but the entire Security Council, would be strengthened domestically. But the threat of Iranian nuclear weapons would not be removed; instead, Iran could perfect its nuclear expertise, stopping just one turn of the screw away from producing a nuclear weapon, or even building one clandestinely.
As our confrontation with Iran enters a new, more dangerous phase, the U.S. must avoid the temptation of redefining our redlines and objectives in a manner that fails to satisfy our national security requirements. To avert war and diffuse tensions through clever tactics and smart policies is admirable; to do so by abdicating our vital interests is not.

On his current tour of Latin American outliers, Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stopped in Venezuela this week to share a belly-laugh with his compañero Hugo Chávez over the supposed nuclear threat either of their countries poses to the civilized world.
Gesticulating outside the presidential palace, Chávez said, "That hill will open up and a big atomic bomb will come out," with Ahmadinejad adding that any bomb they would build together would be fueled by "love."
A couple of real cut-ups.
While their mockery should fall flat amongst most sober observers, the fact remains that much of Washington is still unable to grasp the nature and dimensions of the Iranian threat in Latin America.

What we learned from the IAEA Report on Iran
1. "Iran has carried out activities relevant to development of a nuclear explosive device."
...
2. The report discredits Iran's protestations that its nuclear activities are entirely peaceful.
...
At least provisionally, we learned two additional points from the reaction to the IAEA report:
1. Russia is intent on shielding Iran from any additional pressure to halt its nuclear weapons-related activities
...
2. Iran is intent on its current course, and shows little interest in a negotiated solution.
Dismal is the product of these lessons. Iran is proceeding along the path to a nuclear weapons capability. Russia will block any attempts to pressure Iran to desist. Tehran evinces little interest in negotiation. As others have observed before, Iran is a land of bad and worse options, and even those options are dwindling with the passage of time and the spinning of centrifuges.

Romney: Alarmed by Obama open mic gaffe - YouTube
The last time we had someone that felt this way was George W. Bush. Because of the focus on Russia and China..the focus was taken off the "mosquitoes" as Bush called them..and one of those "mosquitoes" was able to pull off the greatest foreign terror attack in history.
As a New Yorker..it's scary when you hear someone talk like this. Boehner even took him out the the woodshed..
"Clearly while the president is overseas, he's at a conference and while the president is overseas I think it's appropriate that people not be critical of him or our country," Boehner said in response to a question from NBC News about whether he agreed with Romney's assessment that Russia is the "number one geopolitical foe" of the United States.

Obama to Russia: More flexibility after elections - World - The Boston Globe
Also Monday, Obama took North Koreas new leader, Kim Jong Un, to task for its latest military provocations. Meeting with Chinas president, Hu Jintao, before the summit, Obama pressed Hu to help stop Pyongyang from proceeding with a satellite launch next month.
The United States views the impending satellite launch as a missile test that would be a breach of North Koreas international obligations. The White House was stung by the announcement, which came only 17 days after the Obama administration had tentatively agreed to send North Korea desperately needed food aid.
In a speech at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul, Obama said the United States will seek talks with Russia on steps to reduce the two countries arsenals of strategic and tactical nuclear weapons, as well as the number of warheads they have in reserve.

The comments gave the GOP new openings to question his sincerity and long-range plans.
Mitt Romney, the leading Republican contender to face Obama this fall, told a San Diego audience the unguarded comments were an alarming and troubling development.
This is no time for our president to be pulling his punches with the American people, and not telling us what hes intending to do with regards to our missile defense system, with regards to our military might and with regards to our commitment to Israel, Romney said.

Russia Is Mitt Romney's 'Number One Foe' - Global - The Atlantic Wire
Whats at Stake
In a 1939 radio broadcast Winston Churchill famously called Russia a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. The line is quoted often. But most leave out the rest of Churchills statement, where he offered a key to understanding Russia, and that key is Russian national interest. What is Russias national interest today? At the risk of oversimplification, we can say that Vladimir Putin, who is seeking a third term as Russian president in 2012, aims above all else to preserve his power, stoking Russian nationalist passions to maintain popular support, and using wealth garnered from energy and arms sales to stave off economic calamity. With the Kremlins leverage over the energy supplies of Central and Western Europe, its stockpile of nuclear weapons, its recent history of aggressive military action, and the power it wields in multilateral institutions like the United Nations, Russia is a destabilizing force on the world stage. It needs to be tempered.
Obamas Failure
President Obama famously sought to reset U.S. relations with Russia. The ambiguity of that term cannot mask that the Obama administration has failed to move Russia toward a more beneficial working relationship with the United States and our allies. President Obama began his reset policy by withdrawing, without reciprocal concessions, from President Bushs plan to place a missile-defense system in Poland and the Czech Republic, a move Russia strongly desired. He continued the same we give, Russia gets policy by signing the New START treaty in 2010. While the agreement compels the U.S. to reduce our nuclear launcher and warhead limits, the levels it sets for Russia are above what the Russians possessed at the time the agreement was reached. In other words, New START gave Russia room to expand its arsenal while requiring the United States to reduce our own. In any event, even if we put aside the demerits of the treaty, it was a squandered opportunity to extract concessions from the Russians that would have advanced our interests. Thus, President Obama failed to press for meaningful reductions not only in Russias strategic nuclear arsenal, but also in its extensive tactical nuclear force. And he failed to elicit Russian help in dealing with North Korean and Iranian nuclear ambitions.
Russia
Russia controls the export of oil from all the old Russian satellite nations. If Iran were neutralized the Crimea would have an outlet to the outside excepting Russia but they aren't, and America is inclined to help Russia. Pay attention to Obama promising Russia even more help in the future once he's reelected and has no restraints. We are helping Russia to keep it's satellites under its thumb and Russia in control of Asian oil.Russia has lots of oil.
and what? You playing stupid?
