Someone else is calling this, Biden didn't want to take out Bin Laden. Where's he ever shown this aggressive? I don't think Obama either but someone/thing is. This's "Shitcan the Lot" territory.

Mark Milley went direct to China to undercut Trump.

Pentagon (Mark Milley...surprise surprise) behind this leak, cause they're afraid of war escalation & getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

If it walks like a duck...

Question is who on Republican side is going to lead on this?

Mike D - good reminder about Milley. Seems for some 'leaders', past performance can be relied upon repeating.

Our congress has ceded so much of it's authority it's present abilities are feckless -showmanship.

Great intentions, yet our gov't has run amok for a couple decades. My turn to remind: "Patriot act" - TSA anyone? Under a republican President none the less. Best regards Sir. (WRH)

So how is this not treason? A bunch of pinhead lawyers and totally out of control government types concoct a plan that involves deliberately leaving Congress in the dark and possibly risk drawing the US into a war and it’s somehow ok because of technical loopholes.

Like the word "democracy", you must understand for democrats in gov't, Treason only means what you think if the perp is a republican. Like a lot of stuff, sadly. Be well sir, (WRH)

You don't understand. They are the government. It is your statement that smacks of treason. Similarly a headline in Zerohedge, "Watch: Bill Gates Says It's OK For Him To Use Private Jets Because He's "The Solution" To Climate Change" Fortunately for us and the world the best and brightest have taken control of the situation and are leading us into the promised land. Reread Molly Ball's article on the 2020 election and come to an understanding that everything is fortified for our good. At the very least shut up You wouldn't want to force them to put you with the J6ers, who merit neither a trial or decent conditions of imprisonment. Even worse, you might have to be dealt with like Babbitt or Boyland.

That can't happen now that we have a fraudulently elected leader as Commander in Chief who can protect China.

Most writers say it's one of those things that you know it when you see it, if you know what I mean. However, these are more helpful:

https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/act-of-war

Act of war means any act peculiar to military, naval or air operations in time of war.

Act of war means hostile or warlike action, whether declared or not, in a time of peace or war, whether initiated by a local government, foreign government or foreign group, civil unrest, insurrection, rebellion or civil war.

Act of war means any loss or damage arising directly or indirectly from, occasioned by, happening through or in the consequence of war, invasion, acts of foreign enemies, hostilities or warlike operations (whether war is declared or not) by any government or sovereign, using military personnel or other agents, civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, civil commotion assuming the proportions of or amounting to

The bigger point here is that if the act can be traced back to the US then the foreign government(s) affected can be justified in responding more or less in kind.

I think it is an act of war against Germany. But that's irrelevant because the Germans won't do anything about it - except send more Leopard tanks to Z.

Steve, It sucks being associated with this country's present 'leadership'. And we are bound to their actions - to suffer consequences for that that none of us would begin to consider be done. Best wishes on your recovering-lawyer gig! :^) (WRH)

And... necessary to cement Europe's fate to the US's "leadership". As Mark noted, even binding that is cracking. Truth (sometimes) wins out. (WRH)

Forbes, astute comment (as you're known to be). 81 million votes counted. The only improvement on that type of number will be when they get 16 year-olds to vote. The 18+ group is very well indoctrinated, per the 21st century American Education System so I'd guess the 16+'ers are likely to be right in line.

What's perilous is the divisions in our 'behind the puppet' groups - unaccountability is not their concern so their motives truly are dangerous - I mean how can it be the mention of nukes even has occurred?! Best to you sir, (WRH)

Your noting those 'eligible voters' numbers point out mail-in ballots for those folks simply need completed for them by well-meaning, corrupt dem operatives is a huge part of the problem. The 16'ers are about 90% likely to follow the guidelines and vote for the "D"s on their ballots, per their indoctrination, I mean education. If somehow vote by mail gets stopped they're the next resource to tap for Dems (will be resisted as well but so is mail in balloting, yet we got it...) Best to you sir! (WRH)
