"LET IT BE AN ARMS RACE" - Trump's Self Fulfilling Prophecy

"LET IT BE AN ARMS RACE" - Trump's Self Fulfilling Prophecy

Wiping out a half-century commitment to deny and reduce nuclear weapons, not just in

"This is gonna be so fun"

the United States, but world-wide, Donald Trump has called for nations both great and small to develop and procure nuclear arms. While there is no credible threat of terrorist organizations having nuclear capability currently, Trump has given not only our adversaries the political will to advance or develop nuclear weapons, but currently weaker allies as well. 

Trump has, on several occasions during his campaign, suggested that we should feel free to use a nuclear bomb to wipe out ISIS. The statements made during the campaign clearly showed that to him, it would be worth vaporizing millions of civilians, mostly law abiding Muslims, in order to win a war against a terror organization which consists of 30,000 fighters who are spread around the world. These terrorists have already been diminished, and are currently close to defeat. Large scale bombing, whether conventional or nuclear, simply adds fuel to the terrorist fire. 

Now, after Iran had agreed to abandon its nuclear program, Trump has poked the bear, which will more than likely cause Iran's nuclear program to resume once Trump walks away from the agreement which the current administration worked for six years to procure. 

THE DANGERS OF A RECKLESS PRESIDENT
Playing with toy Army men is not a game that we should be allowing our President to do. It appears that every day there's another violation of everything that our nation has worked toward is enacted by the President-Elect, and he's still a month from inauguration. Bypassing our current President and changing treaties and policies, and relationships with nations around the globe, he has made it clear that his objective is NOT to make the world a safer place, but to increase fear world-wide, and to being tensions to a level not seen since the 1970's with regard to the real fear of a new devastating World War. 

Eight years ago, and again four years ago, the American people voted in a peacemaker. One who would use brains over brawn, technology over dead American bodies. Precision strikes over carpet bombing. Now, we're moving in a different direction. One that we must not accept.

A military adviser who tweets fake news generated by Breitbart and foreign propaganda machines, designed to mislead the public, in particular the alt-right faction of the Republican party, and advising the President-Elect on action based on a false reality, put the entire planet on red alert.

An EPA head that is hell bent on eliminating important and critical environmental protections, in fact, previously calling for the elimination of the EPA.  Exxon people running State Department, and climate change deniers running the Energy department. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where this is going. It's not just the Constitution of the United States that is being attacked. It is humanity itself. Thousands of species of animals are headed for extinction in the 21st century alone, and up to a billion people; people without a voice in low-lying areas of Indonesia and near sea level islands around the globe will be displaced, rendering them refugees searching for higher ground, clean water and food. Tens of thousands of deaths will occur due to starvation and disease, and who knows how many people will die in oil and food wars world-wide. 

It's a really dangerous path we're about to take. We have no choice but to reject it, obstruct it, deny it, and protest it. This is not about the economy. It's about humanity.
