After taking some time to digest @realDonaldTrump's #UNGA speech, I have some thoughts... (thread)
1. Anyone who speaks flippantly about "totally destroying" a nation of 25 million people should not be in a position to make that decision.
2. Referring to Kim Jong Un as "Rocket Man" in a UN address simply underscores that @realDonaldTrump does not grasp our precarious situation
3. This is not a campaign rally. It's not a 5 a.m. tweet where you post a photo of a train wearing a hat. You are addressing foreign leaders
4. Your words matter. Millions of lives depend on them. Moreover, the #UNGA setting itself highlights their utter inappropriateness.
5. The UN was created after the world witnessed the horrors of what happens when diplomacy breaks down. When leaders simply run amok.
6. This was a time to build bridges, not set them ablaze. This was an opportunity to forge new alliances, not endanger our existing ones.
7. "More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together." - Kofi Annan
