Trump and his biased fanatic Cult says they're Trump's war powers. Just a day or so Trump's key advisors (Hannity, Gorka, Sarah Sanders, etc) were hyping Trump's power to go to war with Iran without Congressional approval. Now they think Iran has stood down and isn't going to retaliate for Soleimani's killing but they still support Trump's unilateral war powers..
that it maintains its role as a check and balance against other branches.
Good idea. I support that too. Trump says he can do anything he wants and he can prevent Congress from investigating him and anyone from providing info to Congress.
This is how you and I are different. I think Trump is doing a great job, but I also think the Presidency has arrogated too much power to itself in the war arena
You hold contradictory positions.. You say Trump is doing a great job but claim you don't support what he's doing in the ME.
I can hold both of those thoughts simultaneously, because I am a practical and nuanced person, whereas, you are a biased never Trumper, who would do anything to make Trump look bad,
You are actually a based Trumper and you can hold contradictory positions. Anything to make Trump look good.
Peace in the Middle East is not possible. Those tribes have been at war for thousands of years. To think the US will make a difference is hubris.
So you agree Trump should withdraw totally. Unless he doesn't want to .. then he can do anything he wants.
As to Iranian and NK nukes, I think we will eventually have to bomb the Iranian nuke facilities to the ground. They will never negotiate a proper deal with us and they will never live up to any deal they sign.
OK, now you're for total war against Iran.. If thats your opinion, we should do it as soon as possible. Every day we delay, the greater the Iranian threat. Do you want to wait for them to nuke someone first?
Maybe let them float a ship carrying an Iranian nuke to offshore Mar-A-:Lago. Then retaliate, right?
Ir we're going to have to destroy their nuclear ability someday, why not do it now?
As for NK, the key to them is China. If we can deal properly with China, then China will reign NK in. I doubt NK will ever give up their nukes. So that is already a done deal. NK is China. To think NK is a separate country is naive. NK is a pointy spear that originates in China. So we need to deal with China.
That's a tempting idea to let China control them, but why haven't they so far? And what is going to make them control NK? They can use NK to annoy America and its allies like an attack dog on their leash. |
