Dear Mr. President,
What the hell is Mike Pence doing in the Korean
demilitarized zone wearing a f***ing leather jacket like he's 20 year old Tom
Cruise in Top Gun??! Do not, I repeat, DO NOT start World War III in North Korea.
Kim Jong-un may be crazier than a shit-house rat but he's NOT
stupid. That's why he is so
dangerous. You, on the other hand, have remarkably poor
judgment, an erratic temperament (at best), and a falsely elevated sense of
accomplishment because of your moderate successes bombing Syria and
Afghanistan. So this is a recipe for
disaster! Take a breath, slow down,
bring Mike Pence home for God's sake, and re-think your strategy. Oh wait…you don't actually have a
strategy so I guess there's nothing to re-think. Great.
Flying by the seat of your pants and making decisions as you
go probably makes you feel very successful and powerful in the moment. And your foreign adventurism this month
(bombing Syria and Afghanistan) was accomplished with very little negative
fallout. So all in all you're feeling
like you've got this
global-leadership-bombing-sovereign-nations-whenever-you-feel-like-it-thing
mastered. Well you don't! Not even close.
How did we even get here?!
How did we arrive at a place where a one-term governor from Indiana
whose claims to fame are that he's a former talk show host and a hard core
Christian is now standing in the Korean DMZ threatening a foreign,
nuclear-armed nation doing the bidding of a former reality TV personality and
real estate developer who is armed with our nuclear codes? It's unfathomable and yet here we are.
North Korea is not a problem to be solved by dropping a
single bomb or launching a single missile strike. Messing with North Korea will not be quick,
clean, or simple. You must understand
this. You must also understand the global
implications of bombing North Korea. Any
action you take in North Korea will be answered by both Russia and China.
Remember them? Are you prepared
for that? Do you have a f***ing plan?! If so I'd love to hear it!
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
You said it, sister.
