Send them.

We're not paying them to sit in a barracks smoking cigarettes' talking about who's first to get their sex change opp.

Lets get the party started.

Austin is a fricking idiot and, the U.S. citizen is the only loser in this "war".

Arguably the most descriptive song ever crafted that lays out the MIC perfectly.

Austin makes wild assumptions of Putin invading fricking Europe in order to serve his political preferences.

Where are all the media types condemning him for parroting "wild, unproven conspiracy theories"? Where is the evidence that Putin wants to unilaterally invade Europe? Its insane.

His argument is if we don’t help Ukraine deter Russian aggression it will destabilise Europe, and when Russia moves on other countries it has the potential to escalate to a situation where we’re fighting a land war in Europe


His argument is retarded.

Russia is not going to "roll" across Europe. Despite their hyperbole, he's not Hitler, or even close to it.

good point. You could make the argument that NATO is "invading Europe" without firing a shot.

If they try to send anyone to war, just don’t go. If they come to arrest you, then just do that which they would have asked of you if you were dropped off on the battlefield in Ukraine. At least you’d be doing it for a real cause.

Brigadier Generals seem to me to be regular great people but I guess something happens to those who are promoted to 3 and 4 stars.

If the congress preemptively prohibits troops, can't they basically make the war powers act non-applicable?


Congress has the power of the purse

They can refuse whatever they want by refusing to fund it

The president has no authority to go to war. That right is granted to Congress exclusively
The war powers act was a law of congress abdicating their own responsibility and authority but constitutionally they can reclaim that power any time they wish

Oh definitely. But Z probably won't get too many words out of his mouth before they take him out.

This administration is pushing the old "domino theory", ie, first Ukraine, then Poland, then Baltics, etc, etc. It was never the case in SE Asia, and is not the case here.

He’s from the same class of experts, who told us that Russia would roll over Ukraine and win this war in 36 hours, right?

Why would anyone trust a man cosplaying as Darth Ridiculous?

When are you planning on heading over there?

The guy was telling truth to counter an out and out lie in the OP. When he’s going over there has nothing to do with it.

There are valid arguments to be made each way, but you can’t just make up facts.

What the SecDef said is almost exactly what Winston Churchill said in 1939. Where Churchill was right, Austin might very well be wrong, but neither Austin, nor Churchill were blackmailing anyone.
