Can he do that?
Wait-— doesn’t Congress have a say about deploying US troops these days?
At least it was phrased as a “threat” by Tubby
Welllll...
According to that pesky constitution thingy, I don’t believe he has that authority.
That belongs to the President, and the Congress.
This is dangerous!!
Well, Nixon bombed Cambodia.
Had no right to do so, did it anyway.
Pretty hilarious listening to a Defense Secretary asserting that he can start wars on his own. But, we know he only speaks for his handlers: if Larry Fink and George Soros want to secure their future property, why then lots of White Protestants will be ordered into harms way and WWIII here we come!
Lots of Dims in Congress would object, citing the War Powers Act.
Achilles Shrugged
Of course he can. It’s the new Biden Constitution, fresh off the press.
So he’s going to start a war on his own? Where in the hell is congress?
The painful lesson Russia learned, was “ don’t slowdown or pull back because you think you got a deal worked out with the Ukrainians”... because their masters in DC and London wont let them settle
Another thread has him suggesting that Americans could be fighting Russians, so yes.
“It’s time to deploy Austin to a retirement home”
Hard labor.
It's in the Penumbra of the Constitution -- The Secretary of Defense can declare war at any time, against any power, if he doesn't get what he wants.
Not the Bidtard, but Austin would, he already threatened it.
F—— you, leftist scumbag dirtball!
Affirmative Action continues to wreak havoc on the fabric of America.
This was a move showing great contempt of Congressional authority. Essentially, he’s saying, “Either you vote to further promote war in Ukraine, or we will go around you and support the fighting directly.” When I first read the headline, I thought he meant he would deploy troops to DC, lol.
And of course, his premise is a lie. He knows Russia hasn’t the least interest in taking over Ukraine. They know what a night mare trying to control an unwilling population would be on Russia. The Russian - speaking areas, yes, they will want to keep those after all the lives and money spent, and to avoid having this all happen again. But they will settle for a neutral Ukraine, although apparently US/NATO won’t.
Seven Days in May?
So isn't that a insurrection, using our troops illegally to overthrow our own Government processes?
This is how you start a hot war with tactical nukes flying. From there it goes to the big boys flying across oceans.
Austin is an AA hire, and he is just blowing smoke. There will be no US troops on the ground in Azov land.
