BREAKING: Senator Mark Kelly unleashes hell on Trump for threatening to bomb Iran's civilian infrastructure, says that illegal orders are a "black mark" on America and will turn us into a nation without a "moral or ethical compass."
This is a master class in real leadership...
“If those words become orders to destroy civilian infrastructure with no valid military purpose, it’s hard to see how they would not violate the laws of armed conflict," Kelly, himself a retired Navy Captain, wrote on X. "America leads best with strength, discipline, and professionalism. Illegal orders to make civilians suffer would be a black mark on our military and our country."
Kelly shared his thoughts along with a screenshot of Trump's deranged threat on Easter to make today "Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran." Trump then escalated his war crime threats this morning by vowing that Iran's "whole civilization will die tonight" unless they cave to his demands. This is nothing short of nuclear terrorism from a sitting American president.
'"A whole civilization will die tonight' are words no President of the United States had ever spoken until this morning," Senator Kelly wrote in another X post. "Donald Trump’s behavior is unhinged and making Americans less safe. After a 25-year career in the United States Navy, I have never met or served with anyone who so completely lacks the qualities of good leadership as Donald Trump does."
"If the President takes the actions he has threatened to take, countless Iranian civilians will die, it will massively escalate this war, and the United States will be seen as a country without a moral or ethical compass," he continued. "That will make Americans less safe right now and risk the lives of thousands of service members. The consequences will have a lasting and damaging effect on our nation."
"Trump's mistakes have led us to this perilous moment, but the solution is not to escalate even further. This must stop," Kelly concluded.
Now that Trump has crossed this line, there is no going back. He started a war of aggression on behalf of Israel, is losing it, and is now resorting to threats of mass civilian slaughter and nuclear holocaust in a desperate attempt to achieve a fascist form of victory. In one fell swoop, Trump has catapulted himself into the category of history's worst monsters.
Even if he doesn't follow through on his threats, America's reputation will never recover. The only way forward is for the military to reject these illegal orders and for Trump and his Cabinet to be tried for war crimes. The survival of our democracy depends upon it.
