Letter: Trump can’t start World War III — it’s already here
In response to a recent letter, titled “Trump might start World War III,” I would offer the following.
He can’t start what already is in progress — World War III is going on right now. If anyone started it, I would look to the present administration and specifically to President Obama. The problem is that the United States is in denial, as is most of the free world (though Europe is beginning to wake up). So, the best Mr. Trump can do is inherit a war in progress.
As for the United Nations, who cares? They are a paper tiger and it’s time somebody took them to task. Most of their military support and lives lost come from America and American families. Our country would be better served telling them to get lost. Maybe Mr. Trump will do that.
