John: This is Wesley Clark, retired U.S. Army General and former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO during the Kosovo War.
NATO is not a suggestion. It is an iron-clad commitment. It has kept western democracies — including our own — safe for 75 years.
After 9/11, every NATO nation mobilized to come to our defense and fought alongside us to crush al-Qaeda. They didn’t ask for money or put conditionals on their help. They supported us in our time of need.
Earlier this month, Donald Trump publicly signaled that he would not come to the aid of NATO member states if Putin attacked. In fact, he said he would encourage the Russians to do “whatever the hell they want.”
That isn’t just breaking a promise we have made to our allies, and it isn’t just a threat to European nations. It encourages global destabilization and World War III.
A conflict like that won’t be limited to Europe. It will hit our shores and cost American lives.
It’s an appalling statement that could only come from a deranged and twisted mind. I do not say this lightly: A second Trump presidency would put the lives of every American, both in uniform and civilian, at severe risk.
That’s why I’m asking you to make a donation to VoteVets before their deadline at midnight tonight. We have to do whatever it takes to defeat Donald Trump, and VoteVets will spend millions of dollars achieving that goal. We beat him once, and we will do it again.
