Dear
Readers:
The war we
were expecting is upon us: Donald Trump ordered the assassination of a
military leader of a foreign country. This is by definition an act of war as if
he had someone killed as a private citizen he would be charged with murder;
since it was done under the color of being the “commander-in-chief” of the military
this is considered okay. In fact, it is not okay as it is a de facto declaration of war. While it is
true that Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, who was the second in command of Iran,
was responsible for hundreds of Americans being killed, it is George W. Bush’s
ill-advised war with Iraq which caused tens of thousands of deaths during the
Iraqi-American war starting in 2003.
In addition
to having a leader of a foreign head of state killed, Trump says he wants to
take out 52 culture sites in Iran. It is against international law to target
culture sites during a war. The very idea that Trump would threaten this makes
him a terrorist. I have no doubt that Iran will respond and respond forcefully
to Trump’s war crimes.
At present,
there is an impeachment trail pending in the United States Senate since Trump
was impeached by the House for an act of treason and obstruction of justice. This trial will probably take place within the
next two months.
As noted is
a previous post, August 28, 2018, my concern with Trump being president is the
possibility of a nuclear war with Russia. It is also possible that China might
get involved as well since they have close ties to Iran. Events could easily
spiral out of control in the matter of weeks to the point that a nuclear war is
a realistic possibility.
Call to
action: Please contact your United States'
Senator and have Donald J. Trump removed before he starts world War III.
