BREAKING: U.S. National Security Releases Statement WARNING That Donald Trump Is A Threat To America

[yuiyoshida]

Republican national security leaders wrote an open letter declaring their opposition to a GOP presidency due to the serious threat he poses to our nation. First published on a website entitled “War on the Rocks: The Politics of National Security” and then reprinted on Business Insider, the signers of the open letter are some heavy hitters, indeed.

For example, Ken Adelman has served several Republican administrations and was a member of the Defense Policy Board under President George W. Bush. Daniel A. Blumenthal has served the US government advising on relations with China and served as “commissioner on the congressionally-mandated U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission” from 2006 to 2012. Anna Borshchevskaya specializes in Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and Russian policies and served as the Communications Director for the American-Islamic Conference.

In short, these are not random internet bloggers angry with Trump. These are the people who advise our government on keeping our country safe.

The group composed the open letter to warn of Trump’s threat to the country. They begin by saying that there are not many issues that the entire group has been able to agree upon unanimously, but the dangers our country faces under a Trump presidency is one of them.

Some of the specific issues the open letter calls out are as follows:

but it is based on prior material:

"First published on a website entitled “War on the Rocks: The Politics of National Security” and then reprinted on Business Insider"

Here's the link to a prior reference:

12. This is just proof that the MSM should have been paying

more attention earlier, and vetting Trump sooner.

Thanks for this. I had not seen it.

[reACTIONary]

22. NYT, in August, seems to have reportred it.....

Here is the article, with a link to the ppdf:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/09/us/politics/national-security-gop-donald-trump.html?_r=0

The actual text seems to be a bit different from the quoted text linked by the op, but it is obviously the same document.

Save America. Vote Democratic.

4. MSM needs to call attention

to this!!

7. I can't believe they keep giving this guy national security briefings

[TonyPDX]

8. It's difficult to imagine them sharing critical intelligence with someone so unintelligent.

Not to mention some of the company he keeps.

13. How soon after Trump gets the intell does Putin get it?

Might as well give it directly to Putin in the first place.

[TryLogic]

21. Just what I was wondering.

[egeorgequi]

23. But when Donald repeats it he gets it wrong

I agree with your premise but if you tell Putin directly he would understand it and have a much clearer picture of the situation than if he gets it from Donald after it's been run through the trump-alt-reality filter.

Trump doesn't know the places or the people being discussed nor understand the situation on which he's being briefed. Also he doesn't hear anything he doesn't want to believe.

So let's look at it as a disinformation effort.

[keithbvadu2]

24. He owes Putin and the Russian mob - big time.

They'll make sure he gets it right.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. He considers those briefings to be "opinion" and thinks he knows better.

[world wide wally]

18. That's what he says anyway, AFTER he shares them with Putin

[ailsagirl]

9. Do voters see the danger YET?

What will it take?

[lonestarnot]

10. Take what where?

[Missn-Hitch]

11. Sadly, there is nothing to change their minds. I do mean NOTHING.

[Initech]

14. I'm starting to think he really could shoot someone in Times Square and get away with it.

[Amonester]

15. A majority of voters yes (as per 538).

But GOTV is the only way. Not sitting out.

17. Does the GOP? No.

They're dodging a bullet by staying the course with an absolute moron like Trump, knowing he can't possibly win.

In other words, they are the ultimate in political cowards.

19. A major electoral defeat

is what it will take.

3 weeks left. This is the home stretch. Let him have the greatest loss. It will be so huge! He'll be tired of losing!

And then that cheeto faced shit gibbon will never see another intel briefing ever again. His own party will make sure of it.

20. Republican national security leaders . .

". . advise our government on keeping our country safe."

Please, spare us from these war mongers who are
likely worse than Drumph.
