    The fact that the US Military has conducted this illegal war without congress approval means their Oath to the us constitution has been breached. Now that they no longer feel obliged to honour their oath means the other rules, like not being used against the us population also no longer apply. Tremble.

    A Chinese attack on Taiwan is no less illegal than what americans are doing right now.

      That should be the case, but Congress has very clearly granted the Executive the right to start military action at nearly any scale. He is only required to NOTIFY Congress within 30 days. After that it’s up to them to find or not.

        Yep, yet again this is a case of Congress derelicting their duties and letting the executive do whatever the fuck. We really need to scourge a lot of post 9/11 laws from the fucking books.

      Citizen, please turn to page 1 of your copy of The Ultimate Guide To Good And Bad For Citizens. Does it not state

      “Russia bad. China bad. Israel good.”??
