You still have failed utterly to provide constitutional authority for a US president to go to war with a country that has not attacked us….
And, you clearly are under informed on the Chinese military capabilities. The ones that the Pentagon has only been warning congress on for at least a decade……
On Sunday, for example, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng told a forum in Beijing that the United States’ Indo-Pacific strategy was provoking trouble and causing a formation of blocs in the region that “is as dangerous as the NATO strategy of eastward expansion in Europe.”
A close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking “the end of our motherland” and said escalating tensions could result in a nuclear disaster.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council who also previously served as the country’s president and prime minister, wrote in a post on Russian social networking site VK.com that Russia has been “the target of the same mediocre and primitive game” since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
“This means that Russia must be humiliated, limited, shaken, divided and destroyed,” Medvedev wrote, saying if Americans succeed in that objective, “here is the result: the largest nuclear power with an unstable political regime, weak leadership, a collapsed economy and the maximum number of nuclear warheads aimed at targets in the US and Europe.”
The Hill has reached out to the State Department for comment.
For the past several years, Ukraine has unsuccessfully lobbied Israel to license the controversial Pegasus spyware for use against Russia, The Guardian reported Wednesday.
Israel has rejected the requests, which have been made since at least 2019, due to fears of angering Russia, the British newspaper reported, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The fact that Trump praised Putin for declaring the Donbas independent and launching a “special military operation” to protect Russian speaking citizens and has been ignored by the Trumpers, is evidence that there would be no complaining from the Trumpers if he were still president and doing nothing about Russia right now. He could claim that this is Europe’s problem, that worthless NATO should deal with it. He could claim that Ukraine isn’t a NATO member and therefore there is no US obligation. He could defend Putin as he is now doing, and the Trumper would defend him…….The Biden bashing is moot….
History matters Monte I get it. But while tens of millions of lives are being threatened you turn to situations long ago debated. Why don’t you drudge up Truman for Christ sake.
