Congress must prevent an invasion of Greenland

To: Sen. Reed, Rep. Magaziner, Sen. Whitehouse

From: A verified voter in North Kingstown, RI

January 14

Congress must immediately stop the criminal Trump Administration from destroying the NATO Alliance and opening the gates to a Third World War by attacking Greenland. As your constituent, I urge you to take any and all actions to prevent this potential disaster. This illegal invasion must be stopped before it begins for the following reasons, Violation of International Law: This action constitutes an act of aggression against a peaceful ally, shredding the treaties and international frameworks that have prevented a third World War for eighty years. Destruction of the NATO Alliance: By targeting a fellow member state, Trump will have effectively dissolved the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, leaving the United States isolated and our European allies vulnerable to immediate predatory expansion by the Russian Federation. Global Destabilization: This precedent provides a “green light” to our adversaries. We can no longer credibly deter the People’s Republic of China from a forced “unification” with Taiwan, nor can we prevent further Russian incursions into the Baltic States. Moral Injury to the Force: We cannot, in good conscience, order the men and women of the United States Armed Forces to kill and die for a campaign of territorial aggrandizement that bears no relation to the defense of our nation. The United States military is not a private militia for the acquisition of real estate. They are the guardians of a set of ideals. Congress and senior military leadership has a final duty to the Constitution: to refuse to be the instruments of its destruction. The implications of this insane military adventure would be profound and immensely destructive to both the United States and the world.
