Who said we can really trust the Russians anyway?
But, I really feel safer about our national security with President Barack Obama in the White House. His idea to reduce our nuclear weapons arsenal is a stroke of genius. This way we won’t risk the possibility of blowing ourselves up.
Yeah, he’s really a very smart man.
From The New York Psot:
Eight alleged Russian spies have been busted by the feds for allegedly carrying out "long-term, 'deep-cover' assignments" inside the United States, the Justice Department said.
Two other people were also arrested for allegedly taking part in the operation, and an eleventh person remains at large.

The arrests took place yesterday in and around New York City and in Boston and Arlington, Va.
All of the suspects are charged in Manhattan federal court with conspiring to act as agents of a foreign government without notifying the American attorney general, and 10 are also charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering.
During the hearing today, the proceedings were deemed so sensitive that the court was cleared at one point, a rare event.
Among other things, the Russians allegedly wanted information on President Obama's plans heading into a nuclear summit with Russian officials.
According to court papers in the case, the U.S. government intercepted a message from Russian intelligence headquarters in Moscow to two of the defendants. The message states that their main mission is "to search and develop ties in policymaking circles in US" and send intelligence reports.
The court papers cited numerous examples of communications intercepted by U.S. investigators that spelled out what the 10 allegedly were trying to do.
