I was curious to see the reaction to this.
For years we have bitched and moaned about presidents who took military action without congressional approval, when only congress has the authority to declare war, and now when someone in congress says let’s actually follow a constitutional process, the bitch and moan brigade comes out says it must be because we support war mongers.
Regardless of whether you like Biden or not, and I don’t, a commander in chief should have all options at his disposal. This is not a war declaration, but it defines a redline beforehand. Probably one of the smartest things suggested by a congress critter in a while. If they waited till after Putin uses WMDs it would just be one big fustercluck with Biden trying to babble at a Teleprompter about corn pop or something.
Yes! Let’s provoke those A$$holes so they can destroy all of our expensive toys and we have to produce and sell more.
Plus, we haven’t had a chance to use our expensive nukes either. It’ll be like the video games we play...../s
“and now when someone in congress says let’s actually follow a constitutional process, the bitch and moan brigade comes out says it must be because we support war mongers”
You’re standing up a straw man so you can sya you tore it down and won the argument.
Nobody here has raised a process question.
It’s exclusively a question of policy.
My contention on policy is there is no possible event(s) in Ukraine that would warrant direct US intervention.
Or in Darfur for that matter.
