Uhmmmmm?

They can’t afford to fight us in sheer economic terms.

Rules for war:

Pick an enemy
Be certain you can win
then gather men, weapons, be sure you have great strategy and tactics to support, logistics, resupply and money. Lot of money.

Russia doesn’t really have any of those things available to them to challenge us and if they want to broke again, going to war with the US would be a great idea.

They sell the world only two things: Vodka and Oil and price per barrel is gettin cheaper by the day.

Russia can’t afford a war in the same way Venezuela, who relied on Oil exports for their economy, can’t afford socialism...

The replacement of autocrats has usually turned out to be replacing the bad with the worse:

Louis XVI --> Robespierre

Czar Nicholas II --> Lenin & Stalin

Kaiser Wilhelm --> Adolf Hitler

The Emperor of China --> Mao Zedong

Batista --> Castro

The Shah of Iran --> Ayatollah Khomeini

Saddam Husayn --> ISIL

Muammar Quaddafi --> IS

Bashir Assad --> ???

Trump is a businessman. A war between Russia and The United States is not in the best interest of either country.

According to the Dems and their propaganda arm, the MSM, Russia has already committed an act of war against us by meddling in our elections.

It was UnConstitutional Period, No Deceleration of War! No Imminent attack on the United States. It was also a violation the the UN charter of attacking an sovereign nation!

LOL. Even citing the authority of the UN.

Listen Chicken Little, we have been bombing targets within Syria on almost a daily basis since 2015. We now have 1,000 military personnel inside Syria supporting the fight against ISIS. Assad says this is a violation of Syria's sovereignty.

So should we stop the bombing and remove our personnel from Syria?

I have, and to quote someone else, ie not to steal his words but his thought equal mine:

“WAR POWERS ACT OF 1973

PURPOSE AND POLICY

SEC. 2. (a) It is the purpose of this joint resolution to fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgement of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicate by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities or in such situations.

SEC. 2. (b) Under article I, section 8, of the Constitution, it is specifically provided that the Congress shall have the power to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution, not only its own powers but also all other powers vested by the Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof.

SEC. 2. (c) The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory authorization, or (3) a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.
Question of the day:

Which of the “imminent” circumstances listed in SEC. 2. (C) is clearly indicated, and would justify placing the life of even one American in harms way in Syria?”

Savage, Ingraham, Coulter... Handing the left everything they need to topple Trump. Well done, morons.

What dumba$$'s some of you people are. Savage (one I don't particularly care for) Ingraham and Coulter, plus many others BTW, are NOT the ones doing the deed. That, you moron (your term) is your government. You haven't been here long enough to call your self a Bushbot but damn son, chick?, you sure do carry the same banner. Peruse the threads from the Bush years and you will soon recognize your very words. Then come back to present day and examine those here that abhor the very President they were placing on the pedestal (then), then find a mirror, reflecting back will be the 'moron' you seek!

There is a huge difference between being isolationist and being the world’s policemen. There is a lot in between those two extremes.

Obama wanted radical Islamists to overthrow Assad and rule Syria, just as he wanted for the rest of the Arab Spring.

Like an idiot, Obama never understood that attacking Syria was like attacking Gorki Park. Russia would defend either with equal vigor. Assad is never going to fall. He is Putin’s puppet in Syria.

Now Trump stupidly fell for this.

I am not isolationist. If America has a serious DIRECT threat, or one of our allies is attacked, or if we have a vital indiect threat, I want the US to use military force to neutralize that threat and protect the US. I do not want to get involved in the Civil Wars of other nations, even if one outcome is somewhat undesirable to our interests. Tuff. There are always undesirable outcomes.

In Syria, Assad is an evil dictator who abuses his people. He has that in common with at least 100 of the 193 nations of the world. 1 in 100. What are we going to do about the other 99?

WE ARE NOT THE WORLD’s POLICEMEN DAMMIT!

Wrong Assad, Russian and Iran are fighting the Syrian political opponents of Assad, not ISIS. This is where they are focusing their efforts.
