Re: 25 - If we can answer fully the Powell Doctrine’s eight questions, that would be a start.
https://mwi.usma.edu/is-the-powell-doctrine-dead-and-gone/
1. Is a vital national security interest threatened?
2. Do we have a clear attainable objective?
3. Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?
4. Have all other nonviolent policy means been fully exhausted?
5. Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?
6. Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?
7. Is the action supported by the American people?
For this administration I don’t think they’ve considered any of the 8 points, frankly.
