    I hope Obama goes to jail for that. What he did with drone attack was unsensational.

    Official or unofficial, POTUS can’t break the law.

    Or, more accurately.

    No Republican has won the White House with a popular vote in twenty years, and none have won (other than 2004) since George HW Bush won in 1988.

    The number of people murdered by Putin is greatly eclipsed by the number of people murdered by the US government, and that includes pretty much every clown who has occupied the White House in the last 40 years. Killed by wars mostly, but of late, killed by the bioweapons paid for by the US tax payers.

    And yet the WORLD has enjoyed a repetitive peace where industry and commerce have thrived like no other time in history. While, the United States has been and IS the strongest nation on earth ... EVER.

    Did you forget about Ukraine too. You also forget about all his political opponents.

    You left out that:

    The US arming the Ukrainians to fight that war, further depletes Putins war machine.

    Thanks Joe !!!

    While depleting our munitions for a war that can't be won.
    Yeah, that makes sense.

    HUH ?

    We spend over $700 BILLION every year on defense, and why do you keep glassing over the FACT, that a significant chunk of our defense budget is for EXACTLY what we are doing in Ukraine. We arm them, and let them fight their wars. We have done this for a hundred years, we always “support” allies with weapons when they need them.

    Now you think we’re depleting OUR resources ? Seriously ?

    Relative peace? You offer sophistry sir, suggesting you're thoroughly indoctrinated. The Global War Of Terror brought by Bush & Co & Israel for 20+ years now has caused great destruction, generated large numbers of refugees, destroyed countries and legitimately elected governments in many places. I suppose you're also a strong advocate of AUMF

    POTUS have broken the law as a matter of routine at least since Reagan and Iran-Contra. The various agencies try to make it look like he has Plausible Deniability as they did with Bush, but only fools buy into that crock.

    Cheney really took the world for a ride, I agree. (Bush was a puppet)
    No, I had to look it up. Authorization for Use of Military Force is a generation old now. But! There AbsaByGodLutely has been a world peace led by U.S.that has seen prosperity and innovation like nothing the world has ever seen before.
    Not exactly.

    War is expensive, now did the USSR win their war against Afghanistan. At least ours was a NATO operation.

    Doesn't matter. Ukraine doesn't have the bodies to throw at this no matter how much money you squander on it.
    Its just a matter of attrition.

    Let’s prosecute anyone who broke the law. Current / former POTUS doesn’t matter. Anyone who breaks the law must face the penalty.

    I suggest you read Clausewitz, On War. It does matter.

    No army has troops to "squander", but Ukraine has been doing a great job of making Russia play their game. It's Russia, with poor equipment and worse leadership that is squandering their troops and resources. (btw: "bodies" are troops that have been "squandered") IF NATO stays in the buggy and doesn't fail Ukraine, Ukraine will not fail.
