I cant read it now but I recall it mentioning a time limit of 60 days. War has not been declared by America. Agreed....U.S. presidents are not required to get approval from Congress to protect American or allied interests with military strikes. Military resources are funded by Congress and deployed around the world to protect interests and respond rapidly when required. President Trump has fully complied with War Powers notification requirements to Congress. The United States has not declared war on another nation since 1942 (Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania). For Canada, PM Chretien attacked Serbia in 1999 (and Afghanistan in 2001) without any approval or vote in Parliament.

Actually yes they have to get congressional approval to war against another nation. It's how it is termed , a non war conflict that skirts even the USA's own legalities.

-TSS- Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I don't believe for a second that Russians were behind the Salisbury poisoning-attack. False flag all along. They wouldn't be so stupid to pull off something like that in an important country like Britain. Russians would not hesitate to carry out an act like that in an unimportant country like Finland where our politicians total wimps without any balls. If politicians of today's calibre of Finnish politicians had been in charge in Finland in 1939-1944 I would be writing in Cyrillic if I ever existed in the first place.

I think the Russians probably were behind it, although the fact they are getting better does lend credence to your theory.

marcus Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Mission Accomplished my foot! What mission exactly was accomplished in Syria after Trump and his two European and one Israeli sidekicks bombed Syrian targets? The mass murderer Bashar Assad is more consolidated in power than before, his main supporter Russia rides the high moral ground at the UN, his other accomplice Iran is more entrenched in both Syria and Iran, if Assad indeed used chemical weapons against civilians (I have no doubt the bastard is perfectly capable of any heinous crime but I don’t believe a word the US, UK, or France might say for they are pathological liars) he can use them again— So the bombing accomplished exactly the opposite effect of “Mission Accomplished” gibberish— except of course one thing: Trump gave Obama yet another middle finger — that he dared do what his predecessor dared not do — that’ll give him a mileage or two come next presidential election— That’s all! The fate of millions of human beings in Syria at the mercy of the criminal buffooneries of one US President or another — ‘Mission Accomplished!’ But What Is the Mission in Syria?

There needs to be consistency in what a person says to create a benchmark. But if you really need to know, I totally agreed with Trump of 2013 and 2015 on his stance on foreign policy.

Sorry, but the government of Canada is not at war with Syria, despite the 2015 bombings. There were attacks involving the U.S and Japan before Pearl Harbor that did not result in a declared war. As for Pearl Harbor, the U.S.S Ward was first to attack a Japanese submarine, prior to the Japanese bombing sorties. Quote There can't be a benchmark with Trump.

He was not a reasoned statesman before getting elected just because you agreed with his anti-Obama political rhetoric, and he is not a statesman now. But he is POTUS, and I want him to use American political, economic, and military power in the same ways as presidents before him. "Speak softly and carry a big stick...you will go far." - Gov.
