War Rhetoric

Dear President Trump,

Would you please shut-up? You currently have a major troop deployment in Afghanistan, military action against ISIS, and you have been ramping up the tension with North Korea. And today you are threatening military action for the issues in Venezuela. Shooting your mouth off is not helping.

Our military is stretched thin. Guam is getting civil defense warnings. You have cut the State department to the point that is now useless. Heck, we don't even have an ambassador in South Korea. It is time to tone it back.

You have been critical of the generals in Afghanistan. You have failed to understand that the war going on there is complex and hard. This not some Hollywood movie.

Your words have weight throughout the world. Our allies are starting to think of you as a laughing stock. Some would even say that you already are. Why? You shoot from the hip, spout lies, and seem to have no desire to learn the facts.

Currently, there are 250,000 American citizens being threaten. The Seventh fleet is in Guam. Millions of innocent people in Korea would die if things spiral out of control.

You need to stop talking. Stop Tweeting. Let the diplomats do their jobs. Stop trying to be a war president. It does not always give you a great spot in history. Especially if you start the war that ends the world. So, just stop. For the sake of my child, your children, and the world.

Signed,
An Informed Citizen.
