Loose Lips Sink Ships was a saying that goes back to WWII and Trump can\u2019t help himself with his loose lips and his outrageous, undisciplined, imprecise statements making it unclear to allies and our enemies what the United States will do in several significant circumstances. Two of his recent statements could involve us in nuclear confrontations. Here\u2019s how.\u00a0 Trump\u2019s statement number one talks about Trump as President and Commander in Chief considering not defending the Baltic states if they were attacked by Russia.\u00a0 Remember, the Baltic nations are members of NATO and any attack on them requires all NATO members, including the US, \u00a0to respond by defending the attacked member.\u00a0 We and our European allies have begun rotating troops in the Baltic states to signal to Russian that we will not allow Russian aggression against the Baltic states as Russia had perpetrated \u00a0against Crimea and Ukraine (Ukraine is not a NATO member). \u00a0Given Putin\u2019s aggressive nature and Trump\u2019s statement, if Trump wins the Presidency, Putin will begin massing troops in and around the Baltic states in early November.\u00a0 Putin will have agents within the Baltic states stir up trouble between Russian speakers and the native populations providing him with an excuse to intervene on behalf of the Russian speakers just as he did in the Ukraine.\u00a0 On January 1, 2017, just as Trump assumes the Presidency, Putin will intervene massively taking over control of the Baltic states in short order.\u00a0 As a result, many military and civilian casualties will result including those of the rotating forces of the US and our European allies.\u00a0 Of course Trump will not accept Putin\u2019s maiming and killing\u00a0 our soldiers so Trump will get on the red line to Moscow and tell Putin to back off and back out of the Baltic states despite what Trump said in the first place. \u00a0Given the political situation in Russia and his own ego, Putin cannot and will not back down.\u00a0\u00a0 The US will escalate the confrontation in its attempt to remove the Russians from the Baltic states.\u00a0 Putin will counter that move.\u00a0 One escalation follows another and at some point, if cooler heads don\u2019t prevail, we move to a nuclear confrontation.\u00a0 Millions will die in that exchange simply because Trump was loose with his lips.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 Trump\u2019s statement number two involves Korea. \u00a0It could also lead to a nuclear exchange. \u00a0Trump indicated that he will pull out\u00a0 US troops from South Korea.\u00a0 When he does that, it is likely Kim Jong-un will attack South Korea and attempt to unify all of Korea under the North\u2019s regime.\u00a0 The United States by treaty is required to come to the aid of the South Koreas.\u00a0 We will do that and North Korea will be moved back to its borders.\u00a0 However, President Trump may want to stomp his enemy into the ground and he will order the US and South Korea to cross the 38th parallel.\u00a0 Kim Jong-un, backed into a corner,\u00a0 will retaliate with nuclear weapon strikes against South Korea, Japan, and the United States.\u00a0 The United States will respond in kind obliterating North Korea.\u00a0 Millions would die under these circumstance simply because Trump was loose with his lips.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We cannot have someone become President of the United States that does not understand that his words have meaning and that other leaders around the world, both friend and foe, will take actions based upon those words.\u00a0 Trump thus disqualifies himself\u00a0 for the US Presidency. He can be an entertainer in chief or a stand up comedian, but not the Commander in Chief or the President of these United States. I would ask that Mr. Trump resign as the Presidential candidate for the Republican Party immediately.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Finally, it should give us all pause when both Putin of Russia and Kim Jong-un of North Korea support Trump for President of the United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n
