    Again the point is they aren’t against attacking Iran, just the optics of how’s it’s being done.

      208 DNC House Reps voted for a war powers resolution. Every single DNC senator voted for it.

      You’re just making a blatantly false statement.

            I’m not the one trying to argue for a war with Iran or ignore that both parties yes both this time are more than happy to attack Iran.

            Jeffries said the administration has so far “failed to make its case … for this war of choice in the Middle East,” and unless President Donald Trump provides a “compelling rationale,” he’s “going to have a difficult case to make on Capitol Hill.”

            Our house minority leader is out there saying trump give us a reason to give you money for these aggressive actions. Just like 1st time he attacked Iran and after Venezuela, and what they did when Bush was attacking Iraq and Afghanistan

                Please show me where I’m arguing for war. Also curious if you confused me with a different user

                  The articles of NATO have been called upon for defence only one time, and since no country was found responsible there has never been a NATO response and NATO has never attacked anyone.

                  NATO is the world’s largest defence pact and it’s biggest opponents are Russia and China who want to expand their borders with military aggression.

                    All three were NATO operations. So was Iraq part 1. And even when articles of defense aren’t called, NATO allows countries like America and France to use their resources and bases to carry out its own wars of imperialism.

                    China

                    Do you believe NATO needs to defend itself from a country on the other side of the planet?
