Please try to understand. The president can not fight a war without authorization from Congress.

I thought that everyone realized by now that the War in Afghanistan was a trillion dollar scam, but I guess there are a few dupes still left. Have people forgotten our corrupt puppet government over there lasted about 15 minutes? All those years and all those casualties and nothing to show for it. The “nation building” was a fraud. Obama was gung ho for the war. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-nine-surges-of-obamas-war/

Article I, Section 8 specifically gives Congress the power “to declare War”. Your desperate attempts to evade responsibility are quite comic.

Nobody planned to kill children?! If you drop lots of bombs on civilians I supposed you would be shocked that anyone was hurt. Are you joking with this pathetic attempt to avoid responsibility? Congress could have stopped Bush but they chose not to. Regarding Ukraine and realism: There are many bullies around the world. China bullies the Uyghurs, the Saudis bully Yemen, France bullies countries in Africa, Israel bullies Palestinians. Should we arm all of the rebel groups? Should we go back to Afghanistan and protect the Afghanis from the Taliban? I don’t think the U.S. should be the global policeman. We should push for negotiations and peace in Ukraine. You are ignoring the deaths caused by Bill Clinton in Iraq. You are ignoring the large casualties from the Obama military surge in Afghanistan. You are ignoring the reimposition of African slavery in Libya. You are ignoring the fact that many prominent Democrats supported the war in Iraq. You are ignoring the fact that you and Mitch McConnell and various war profiteers are on the same side regarding the Ukraine War. You are ignoring Zelensky’s enthusiasm for WW III. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ukraine-s-zelensky-blasts-weak-nato-for-refusing-no-fly-zone-amid-russian-invasion/ar-AAUEcaT A no-fly zone could easily lead to direct NATO-Russia fighting and WW III and hundreds of millions dead. These are not minor flaws in the Democratic Party we should just cast aside. Why are you an apologist for warmongers and plutocrats?

Never forget the Israel lobby nor all the Democrats who supported Bush and voted for war (Hillary, Kerry, Schumer, Feinstein, Biden). https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v28/n06/john-mearsheimer/the-israel-lobby

So you are on record supporting African slavery. https://blackagendareport.com/how-barack-obama-and-hillary-clinton-contributed-libyas-slavery-crisis

We bombed Libya and some of those rebels were not so nice.

AOC is just trying to ingratiate herself with the anti-Christian bigots who infest the big media corporations. Her remarks don’t make any sense at all.

Were U.S. planes doing some of the bombing? U.S. planes are under the direction of one person, the U.S. president.

Your new allies: https://www.news18.com/news/world/azov-battalion-accused-of-committing-inhuman-crimes-against-ukrainians-theyre-supposed-to-protect-4893575.html

Of course the killing was deliberate! Actually the distinction you are trying to make is trivial and desperate. Did the US bomb Libya? https://foreignpolicy.com/2016/03/22/libya-and-the-myth-of-humanitarian-intervention/ Why do you feel Mearsheimer is wrong? https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/05/05/taking-aim-at-ukraine-how-john-mearsheimer-and-stephen-cohen-challenged-the-dominant-narrative/ By your “logic” the Republicans could be Pure Evil and the Democrats Pure Evil - .00001 and you would support them. That is a reprehensible position. The better plan would be to work to reform the Democrats, take the party away from the perverted plutocrats.

If you see any inaccuracies please point them out and be specific.

How dare we protest just because Democratic politicians align themselves with Republicans and war profiteers to foment atrocities and WW III!

So your genius plan to punish Saddam for killing thousands of Iraqis is to kill tens of thousands of Iraqis?

Do you always engage in these feeble justifications for mass murder? The endless nation building in Afghanistan was a good war?! https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/07/06/how-us-funded-abuses-led-failure-afghanistan The U.S. didn’t invade Libya?! Libyans bombed by Obama would be surprised to hear that. https://www.theroot.com/how-obama-s-worst-mistake-led-to-the-libyan-slave-tra-1820879083

I think you are confusing “being realistic” with being a dupe. A Sanders rally is like Shakespeare in the Park. All histrionics.

It’s pathetic for Albright to blame Saddam Hussein. No one was forcing the U.S. to impose the sanctions. Of course Saddam Hussein was a cruel dictator, but that doesn’t exonerate all the terrible things we did to the Iraqi people.

We want a Democrat Party which supports peace and working folk. We recognize that the current leadership is thoroughly corrupt and dishonest.

The elites seem obsessed with the ridiculous, intolerant transgender movement. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6687123/Mother-arrested-children-calling-transgender-woman-man.html I guess because this movement doesn’t threaten the elites or their big piles of cash.

Many Democrats have opposed Communism and racism and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Powell was a liar just like the others. https://theintercept.com/2018/02/06/lie-after-lie-what-colin-powell-knew-about-iraq-fifteen-years-ago-and-what-he-told-the-un/

The neocons and many Republicans have been hawks (or chicken hawks). https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/06/28/ukraine-latest-neocon-disaster https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/earthquake/mitch-mcconnell-helping-ukraine-defeat-russia-is-number-one-priority/vi-AA15wN8G Do you support the neocons and McConnell?
