Trump Military Controversy

The “Peace” President Has Bombed Seven Nations In His First Year Of His Second Term!

Ronald 11 Comments

Donald Trump is obsessed with his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize, so much so, that he, willingly, accepted the “gift” of the prize from Maria Corina Machado of Venezuela, who he is unwilling to support as the new President of that nation, despite her party’s victory.

This is outrageous and obscene to the extreme, weird and loony behavior on the part of Donald Trump, but he has no shame!

At the same time, he has managed to use military force and bombed SEVEN nations in his first year of his second term:

Venezuela
Iran
Iraq
Syria
Yemen
Nigeria
Somalia

And now, Trump is threatening military action to seize Greenland, thereby posing a danger to Denmark and all of NATO. And now, he is threatening new tariffs on our NATO allies, upping the ante of crisis in an alliance which has managed to protect the peace and promote unity for 75 years.

While one can certainly consider the 7 nations that were bombed as, in many cases, “problems”, who gives the United States the right to use military force to impose its will?

To the civilized world, including our NATO allies and friendly nations elsewhere around the globe, the United States under the leadership of Donald Trump has become the “lawless” nation, creating a crisis atmosphere, and a threat to world peace.

This can only encourage Putin and the Russian Federation, and Xi Jinping and China, and Kim Jong Un and North Korea in their own “spheres of influence”, to continue to take aggressive actions, making the world much more unsafe!

The Revelations About Trump And The Military Seem Likely To Be “The September Surprise”, Which Will Decide The Election!

Ronald 19 Comments

There is a growing feeling that the revelations about Donald Trump calling those in the military “Losers” and “Suckers”, who have sacrificed their lives or been seriously wounded affecting their remaining lives forever, will be the decisive factor in the Presidential Election of 2020.

If this occurs, we may call the revelation of The Atlantic Magazine the “September Surprise”, rather than the traditional belief and often reality of an “October Surprise” that determines the final result of the election.

Many retired military, and many military families whose members are endangering their lives daily, have already expressed total shock and disbelief that their Commander in Chief has so little regard for the troops, and those in military cemeteries.

The fact that Donald Trump evaded the draft on the basis of “bone spurs”, signed off by a doctor who knew Trump’s father and had an apartment rent covered by the father for the favor of writing a draft deferment letter for his son, enrages many people, whether connected to the military or not.

The lack of respect and honor by Trump, who has made a big deal over those who bend their knee for the Star Spangled Banner, and constantly has invoked false military themes, is a moment of reckoning for many people who may not have been irritated by other issues and matters, but are so by this reality.

Why No Criticism By Republicans In Congress Toward Donald Trump And Revelations About His Comments On Military?

Ronald 5 Comments

The Republican Party has always prided itself on its support and promotion of the military, and their “waving of the American flag” patriotism.

66 members of the party in Congress, as compared to 30 Democrats, have served in the military

So why is it there is not a peep from Republicans in Congress to the revelations about Donald Trump’s comments about his true feelings on the military, that they are a bunch of “losers” and “suckers”?

And even more so, why is it that those Republicans in Congress who have served in the military themselves are staying silent?

And most particularly, what about those Republicans in the House who are required to run for office every two years, and those Senators who are facing election in the six year cycle?

So regarding the better known, more newsworthy Senators who face election, 8 in total:

Mitch McConnell of Kentucky

Lindsey Graham of South Carolina

Tom Cotton of Arkansas

James Inhofe of Oklahoma

Joni Ernst of Iowa

Martha McSally of Arizona

Dan Sullivan of Alaska

Roger Marshall, Congressman and Senate candidate from Kansas

And also the following 3 Republican Senators who do not face election this fall:

Rick Scott of Florida

Roger Wicker of Mississippi

Todd Young of Indiana

And also, among the many Republican House members, why is Greg Pence of Indiana, brother of Vice President Mike Pence, staying silent?

And why is Vice President Mike Pence, whose son is in the military, not speaking up?
