Barack Obama “reset” U.S.-Russian relations by unilaterally abandoning a missile defense system in Europe designed to protect that continent and America from threats increasingly posed by the Russians’ clients in Iran.

That act of appeasement was followed by a New START arms control deal the Russians insist gives them a veto over qualitative or quantitative improvements in our anti-missile systems. Mr. Obama also promised the Kremlin that he would be “more flexible” after the election – signaling that, if reelected, he will give away even more of the store to Russia’s thuggish president, Vladimir Putin.

Now, the Russians are responding to such American weakness with threats to attack any defenses – however modest – that we deploy in Europe. What is needed is a reset all right – to an American policy of “peace through strength.”
