John —

Every few months, Trump says something that reminds us how concerned we should be about the reality of his control over our nuclear arsenal:

“I don’t want to kill 10 million people. I have plans on Afghanistan that if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth, it would be gone, it would be over in literally 10 days.”

Talking about the deaths of 10 million people as an offhand comment in a press conference is genuinely shocking — almost as shocking as the idea that our military has walked Trump through a plan that includes such catastrophic destruction as if it’s something we’d really consider.

This is why we need a powerful Congress that’s willing to stand up to Trump’s warmongering and the military industrial complex. Will you donate $27 to help us elect those progressive champions in 2020?

Trump can’t help himself from ruining diplomatic relationships by talking about killing one-third of the countries population. But we should be more concerned with the fact that he’s surrounded by militaristic advisors and defense lobby executives who are using every opportunity to push for offensive action.

We need a foreign policy that is defined by peace, not war. Help us elect a new slate of progressive leaders who want to stop these endless wars with diplomacy — not mass destruction.
