^^^^^This, Obama’s 90 days were up years ago.

No, the people are supposed to have the say over war, but, congress refuses to do its duty.

Congress voted against this! They did it anyway.

I don't know anyone who's looking for a war with Russia. Anyone. And over Syria and ISIS? What the frak?

There's NO GOOD REASON to get into a war with Russia over Syria except maybe for DC to distract the public with a last ditch effort to drum up some fake unity and throw the election - they'd be literally committing murder and plundering whatever's left of the Treasury to try to stay in power.

Obama/Clinton/Dems have no mandate to get us into a war with anyone. They're seen as illegitimate by at least a third of the country. You don't get into war with Russia with the fragmented politics we have now.

The Russians would be almost totally united.

If Obama/Clinton try to slick their way into getting us into war, it'll be the biggest mess since Vietnam. It would be a clusterfrak that'd make Iraq and Vietnam look like a weekend on the beach.

Worse even - that'll mean a war with no popular support, which will mean a half-as$ed one with more American lives lost, not that these people give a damn. It's just the lives of "deplorables" at stake.
