Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said his country is in a new
cold war with the U.S. and its allies, while NATO’s chief said Russia is
using its nuclear arsenal to intimidate Europe.
The clash, with
echoes of superpower rhetoric during the 20th century, played out at the
Munich Security Conference on Saturday even as Russia, Europe and the
U.S. say they’re seeking to end Syria’s civil war, resolve the armed
standoff in eastern Ukraine and make progress toward lifting European
economic sanctions against Russia.
“The political line of NATO
toward Russia remains unfriendly and closed,” Medvedev said in a speech
to the conference. “It can be said more sharply: We have slid into a
time of a new cold war.”
While
Medvedev renewed Russian accusations of encirclement by western powers,
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Secretary General, Jens
Stoltenberg, challenged President Vladimir Putin to stop threatening
nations around Russia’s borders with warnings about his nuclear-weapons
capability.
“Russia’s rhetoric, posture and exercises of its
nuclear forces are aimed at intimidating its neighbors, undermining
trust and stability in Europe,” Stoltenberg told the conference earlier.
“We strive for a more constructive and more cooperative relationship
with Russia.”

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

THE POTUS BHO TOP AND FOREMOST AGENDA WHICH GETS HIS TOP HIGHEST PRIORITY ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE MAN MADE UP SCIENTIFIC RESULTS CALLED CLIMATE CHANGE AND THUS SINCE THE EARTH REVOLVES AROUND THE SUN AND THE SUN IS CHAOTIC THE AGENDA IS MAN MUST CONTROL THAT THUS CLIMATE CHANGE MUST BE ENFORCED WITH UNPRECEDENTED HASTE - BUT GREATER MINDS PREVAIL AND THE CAP AND TRADE GIVE AWAY TO THE RICH DEMOCRAT DONORS IS DEAD IN THE SENATE FLOOR TO BE WALKED OVER AS THEN THE MESSENGER DIRTY HARRY REID (D-NV) PROCLAIMS - SO THEN THE POTUS BHO GOES ON THE RAMPAGE OF EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO PUSH PUSH BABY THE AGENDA THROUGH THE EPA
Harry Reid delivered the bad news to the White House: President
Obama’s hopes for the Senate to approve a historic cap-and-trade bill
were dead.
Even with a near-supermajority of 59 seats, opposition in Obama’s own party ahead of the 2010 midterm elections meant the bill had no chance of passage, the Senate Democratic leader said.
It was a tough blow for a White House that was beginning to realize the limits of Obama’s power after the long battle over ObamaCare.That fight itself had complicated plans for the president and then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on climate change. A few months later, Democrats would be swept from their House majority in what the president described as an electoral “shellacking.”
But on climate change, Obama already had a backup plan in the works that would end up defining much of his second term, according to Carol Browner, who was Obama’s climate czar.
That plan was to use the president’s regulatory authority under the Clean Air Act to limit carbon dioxide from power plants, something Obama’s opponents say is so novel it’s illegal.
“You pick yourself up and move on, because there was another path, and we were already on it,” she said of the news from the Nevada senator. “And we knew that.”
Those power plant rules, which the administration is now rushing to complete, became leverage in Obama’s successful effort to finish an international climate deal in Paris late last year — a part of his legacy years in the making.
Obama’s critics argue that the shift to regulations points to Obama’s
shortcomings: an inability to negotiate with Congress and a reliance on executive action they say is unconstitutional.

THE WET FOOT DRY FOOT CUBAN IMMIGRATION POLICY WHERE A CUBAN GETS THE FREE PASS TO A VISA NOW MOVES TO LAREDO TEXAS AS VAN LOADS OF CUBANS EVEN WITH THE POTUS BHO CHAOS EXECUTIVE SIGNED ORDER TO OPEN DIPLOMATIC RELATION WITH THE COMMUNIST CASTRO BRO HAS NOT GAINED ANYTHING FOR THE USA BUT MORE MIGRANTS - AS THE DEMOCRATS TALK THE TALK BUT WALK AWAY FROM TROUBLE EVERYTIME - AS THE POTUS BHO COUNTERS WITH ANY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IS FREE TO WALK ACROSS AND BE GIVEN ALL THE US SOCIALIZED BENEFITS
A fast-rising influx of
Cubans are crossing the border into Texas by the hundreds each day,
approved to enter the United States in a matter of hours.
They walk out to a Laredo street and are greeted by volunteers from Cubanos en Libertad, or Cubans in Freedom, a nonprofit. The volunteers help them arrange travel to their U.S. destination — often Miami — and start applying for work permits and such federal benefits as food stamps and Medicaid, available by law to Cubans immediately after their arrival.
“Right now I feel like the freest Cuban in the whole world,” said Rodny Nápoles, 39, a coach of the Cuban national women’s water polo team who crossed into Laredo this week.

The friendly reception given the Cubans, an
artifact of hostile relations with the Castro government, is a stark
contrast with the treatment of Central American families fleeing
violence in their countries. And it is creating tensions in this
predominantly Mexican-American city, where residents saw how Central
American migrants, who came in an influx in 2014, were detained by the
Border Patrol and ordered to appear in immigration courts.
“The people here are starting to feel resentment,” said U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo. “They are asking, is it fair that the Cubans get to stay and the Central Americans are being deported?”
Town officials have warned Cubans not to loiter in the streets. Local bus companies complain that Cubans are chartering special vans to travel.

North Korea raised the stakes in belligerent posturing over the weekend by revealing a map that apparently details its plans to strike the U.S. mainland.
The North's official KCNA news agency on Friday carried photos of leader Kim Jong-un at an emergency meeting of a strategic missile unit with a strategic map on the wall behind titled "The Strategic Forces' Plan to Strike the U.S. Mainland."
In this snapshot released by North Korean Central News Agency on Friday, the country's leader Kim Jong-un is briefed by senior military officers. A map of Seoul is seen on the right and an Apple iMac on the left.
