TRUMP JUST MADE WAR WITH IRAN AND NORTH KOREA MORE LIKELY THAN EVER, RETIRED ARMY GENERAL SAYS

BY TOM O'CONNOR ON 10/13/17 AT 4:49 PM

Retired Army Major General Paul Eaton, who played a key role in rebuilding and training the Iraqi military in the wake of the 2003 U.S. invasion, on Friday warned that Trump's decision may not only bring about a new crisis in the Middle East, but further escalate an already tense nuclear standoff with North Korea and further complicate the U.S.'s 16-year military campaign in Afghanistan. He appealed to Congress to not destroy the deal by adding more sanctions during the 60-day window lawmakers now have to take action.

"Donald Trump has moved us closer to a war with Iran, while he has also moved us closer to a nuclear war with North Korea. All while we're in a war in Afghanistan," Eaton said in a statement.

"The path we are now on—massive loss of human life, on the scale of millions—is not a positive development for America, or humanity," he continued. "We implore Congress to step in and rein in this president.”

to divert attention from his treason and money laundering crimes.

Although, not sure why. Half of the voters in America (sure, only 30% of the people but half of the voters) will support him if he kills billions, so why even bother with world war in the first place?

He is safe here no matter what he does, Mueller cant touch him because of pardon power. He has enough support of deplorables, etc.

NY AG might get him but doubtful.

Donnie, you won the election by stealing it with your boss Vlad, why start a war?

Trump does not understand the effects of or how it travels around the Globe. Trump is the true example of Blissful Ignorance.
