I stand up and speak once again. Lives are at stake. This is not a partisan statement. I’m not a partisan person.
It’s a matter of the present administration defying all the gray areas in every version of classic Christian ethics in a vast tradition of Just War Theory, as old as was first developed by 5th century African bishop St. Augustine.
NO MORE TRUMP WAR.
Our president predicted a few hours ago that he would “have the honor of taking Cuba.” This statement comes after our Commander in Chief launched unprovoked wars against Venezuela and Iran, all without congressional approval, all without building world alliances, all without rigorous diplomacy being exhausted, and all with little accountability or explanation to the American people. No matter how bad the leaders of those countries are (and they have done bad things) war is only justifiable in Christian theological and ethical tradition when it is a matter of self-defense and last resort. Many wars have been justifiable, and I deeply appreciate those who serve in harm’s way.
NO MORE TRUMP WAR.
This president who was obsessed over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, who has flouted with taking over Canada and Greenland, now has his eye on Cuba.
I will be attending the “No King’s” protest next weekend and exercising my constitutional rights. My sign will read:
NO MORE TRUMP WAR.
