  • Yes, that is the observation that I am making.

  • Yes, that is the entire point of the war powers act. It allows the president to quickly deploy troops to respond to issues and provides enough time for congress to approve the declaration of war once they are ready to go. Prior to this the US president was NOT permitted to deploy troops at all until congress declared war. The War Powers Act was an EXPANSION of presidential authority.

  • That is just stupid enough to be something he would think.

  • Sorry you are too fucking stupid to have a conversation with normal people. I hope you go away and never come back. Oh wait, that is achievable. Buh bye.

  • Why don't they just use 4 million dollar patriots to shoot them down?

  • Not for everyone.

  • Literally the exact same game every year, just play the older one.

  • Sorry, my argument depends on reality that someone who isn't a moron can observe. If you haven't been able to discern a lack of preparation from all of the available evidence that we have been bombarded with over the last three days then nothing I say is going to pull your head out of your ass for you.

  • Shame that's not what you said when I replied to you and then repeated several times in the course of this discussion.

    Their main purpose, though, is to represent the state for relations and dealings with the host, citizen services are secondary to this.

  • Does that article support the conclusion that Trumps attack on Iran was adequately planned?

  • Ransoming countrymen of the represented country is literally one of the oldest diplomatic functions on earth and is a big part of why embassies were established in the first place.

    Your own source literally defines the term "diplomatic mission" as:

    The basic role of a diplomatic mission is to represent and safeguard the interests of the home country and its citizens in the host country

    So no, looking after the citizens of the represented country is NOT "secondary to the diplomatic mission" it IS the diplomatic mission.

  • Because my argument is that this was not a well prepared war with adequate assets put into place in the region which would take months to do, much like was the case with the 2003 Iraq war. And their counter-argument to that was "look, someone dispatched a carrier to the middle east 33 days ago!"

    You tell me if you think that is stupid or not.

  • Its OK that you said a stupid thing and then pretended you didn't by changing the definition of what "stupid" is.

  • I guess that is what happens when an interrogation is run by a committee of morons.

  • You know who Epstein was working for, right?

    Hint: Look up who Ghislaine Maxwell's dad was.

    They literally have photos and evidence against a significant portion of western leaders and lobbyists. That combines with the influence purchased through one of the largest PACs in the America and it really shouldn't be that hard to imagine.

  • Yes. You are aware that February 20th wasn't "months ago" right?

  • Every element of the whole toxic masculinity influencer thing is just an expression of weakness and insecurity framed as "manliness".

  • Not only is it obviously not safe, there is zero evidence that it even works.

  • Its not unusual for US air assets and carriers to be in this region in general. You might want to look at the preparations for the invasion of Iraq if you want to know what an actual preparation for a war looks like.
