A US congressman has raised doubts over the country’s capability to intercept long-range trans-Pacific strategic missiles once fired from ‘rogue regimes’.

Missouri Congressman Todd Akin has warned about a looming nuclear threat on the US’s West coast as adversarial regimes such as North Korea expand their nuclear and rocket launching capacities.

The 62-year-old Republican Congress member recently wrote his personal assessment of current nuclear issues threatening US security in which he demands a fortified scheme to tackle potential problems.

“Now more than ever we need to continue a robust investment in missile defense. Cutting or canceling missile defense programs in the face of growing threats from North Korea and other rogue regimes will weaken the national security of our country and increase the threats from these governments that menace the safety and security of our allies and our own shores,â€

Doesn't this just make you all warm and fuzzy knowing that Nobumer has cut defense spending?

When one of the first things a president......especially one with so much suspicious circumstances behind them.....does is to begin reducing the capability of "his" country to defend itself, all while sucking up to other-than-friendly nations and regimes....how much more does it take to realize that SOMETHING is drastically wrong?
