Fighter jets from CFB Bagotville in Quebec are expected to head to Europe as soon as various diplomatic clearances are obtained.

Since when do you need a diplomatic clearance to wage war?

Hm maybe so you don´t get shot down when you enter their (european) airspace in an armed combat aircraft?

When you are waging it from bases in a country with which you are not at war.

“Since when do you need a diplomatic clearance to wage war?”

The UN Charter. All of our NATO allies in Europe are signatories. As well as our SEATO allies in Asia and the Pacific.

Do you prefer having American men and women paying a price as “policemen of the world”?

We should applaud other nations taking on some of the burden—and the expenses to our taxes.
