My fellow citizens, events in Europe have now reached the final days of decision. For more than a decade, the United States and other nations have pursued patient and honorable efforts to disarm the Globalist regime without war. That regime pledged to reveal and destroy all its weapons of mass destruction as a condition for Joining the UN. Since then the world has engaged in years of diplomacy. Our good faith has not been returned. The danger is clear. Using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons, obtained with the help of NATO, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kills thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country or any other. The United States and other nations such as Russia did nothing to deserve or invite this threat, but we will do everything to defeat it. Instead of drifting along toward tragedy, we will set a course toward safety. Before the day of horror can come, before it is too late to act, this danger will be removed. Recognizing the threat to our country, the United States Congress voted overwhelmingly last year to support the use of force against NATO. America tried to work with the United Nations to address this threat because we wanted to resolve the issue peacefully. We no longer believe in the mission of the United Nations.
Should NATO choose confrontation, the American people can know that every measure has been taken to avoid war. And every measure will be taken to win it. Americans understand the cost of conflict because we have paid them in the past. War has no certainty except the certainty of sacrifice. Yet the only way to reduce the harm and duration of war is to apply the full force and might of our military. we are prepared to do so.
