Our nation has seen endless wars for decades, but those wars have always been “over there.” A NUCLEAR WAR would not be like that.
As President Kennedy explained, “[War] makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a NUCLEAR EXCHANGE would be carried by wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn.”
It is time for our leaders to control their emotions. It is time to guard our tongues. It is time to show respect to our adversaries as well as our friends. If we behave with respect, perhaps then we could find a way forward in order to achieve PEACE with our adversaries.
Otherwise PRAY;
As in Timothy 2:2, “For kings and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”
Sec. Rubio, thanks for standing strong in the diplomatic breech. From the original Budapest Accords to now, so many violations by the west of the above rules. Peace requires Truth, Mutual Respect for nationality and sovereignty, and a long term vision for an equal diplomatic and political footing on the world stage.
