I am writing in alarm, anger, and desperation.
The President of the United States is behaving in a way that is reckless, destabilizing, and profoundly dangerous. His repeated threats to seize or attack other nations—Greenland, Cuba, Mexico, Canada—and his escalation of international conflict involving Venezuela are not strength. They are not leadership. They are unhinged warmongering.
The American people do not want war.
We do not want threats, invasions, or manufactured conflicts driven by ego, bravado, or political distraction. We do not want our sons and daughters sent into harm’s way to satisfy a single man’s impulses. We do not want to be dragged into international crises that could spiral into catastrophic loss of life, economic collapse, or global instability.
Congress exists for moments exactly like this.
Your oath is not to a president. Your oath is to the Constitution and to the people of the United States. The Constitution gives Congress the power—and the responsibility—to restrain reckless executive behavior, especially when it endangers peace and risks war.
Silence is complicity.
If Congress does nothing while the President openly threatens sovereign nations, history will not be kind to that inaction. You must speak out. You must draw clear lines. You must use every constitutional tool available to stop this behavior before words become missiles and threats become body bags.
America is not the ruler of the world.
America is not entitled to other nations’ land, resources, or sovereignty.
America does not benefit from endless conflict.
What we need is diplomacy, restraint, sanity, and leadership grounded in reality—not chaos and intimidation.
I am begging you and demanding of you at the same time:
Do your job.
Defend peace.
Restrain this dangerous behavior.
Make it unmistakably clear that Congress will not allow the United States to be dragged into unnecessary war.
The people are watching. The world is watching.
And lives depend on what you choose to do next.
