“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.

You give me too much credit for the whole straw man and thinking that far ahead thing. But I actually like and agree with your statement above. Direct being a key word.

It is a hypothetical dilemma for us, if Putin chooses to use NBC weapons in Ukraine. No it’s not a direct attack on NATO, but it is an internationally recognized red line, and has been such for a very long time, with historical precedence as to expected response.

So while you are correct I was pointing out process, i agree it’s the opening of a serious discussion about response to an importance and possible ‘what if’
