NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE
Issued on: November 19, 2019
Dear Madam Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
As I most recently reported on July 22, 2019, United States Armed Forces have been deployed to the Middle East to protect United States interests and enhance force protection in the region against hostile action by Iran and its proxy forces. Iran has continued to threaten the security of the region, including by attacking oil and natural gas facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on September 14, 2019. To assure our partners, deter further Iranian provocative behavior, and bolster regional defensive capabilities, additional United States Armed Forces have been ordered to deploy to the Middle East.
Additional forces ordered to deploy to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia include radar and missile systems to improve defenses against air and missile threats in the region, an air expeditionary wing to support the operation of United States fighter aircraft from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and two fighter squadrons. The first of these additional forces have arrived in Saudi Arabia, and the remaining forces will arrive in the coming weeks. With these additional forces, the total number of United States Armed Forces personnel in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be approximately 3,000. These personnel will remain deployed as long as their presence is required to fulfill the missions described above.
I have taken this action consistent with my responsibility to protect United States citizens at home and abroad and in furtherance of United States national security and foreign policy interests, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct United States foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.
I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the Congress in these actions.
Sincerely,
DONALD J. TRUMP

Definitely impeachable. He did not consult with Vindmann at all!
Good that there is nothing the Demsheviks can do to stop this.
They can de-fund it, if they’ve got a political death wish, which they might.
I admit to not knowing anything about the costs and trades and deals of sending our people and supplies in to any country, so I am wondering if SA is going to be paying for our forces to be there?
I wonder how the guys in the trenches feel about this. I understand SA can be a fun and exciting place for a man; not so much for women.
Demsheviks?
NOW THERE IS A GOOD ONE! I will use that if you dont mind.
Demsheviks....
LIKE!
Bump
Dude's a regular fat Magic 8 Ball.

I stolt it. May it go viral.

“Definitely impeachable. He did not consult with Vindmann at all!”
