A ground invasion by the U.S. military is the only way to eliminate North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In late September, Rep. Ted Lieu and Rep. Ruben Gallego, both Democrats and veterans of the U.S. military, sent a letter to Defense Secretary James Mattis highlighting their concerns about the prospect of war with North Korea.
It may very well be that Trump doesn’t know yet that he is no longer in charge of anything.
The only thing that Trump still has the power and authority to do is to blow up the world.
Short of that he has lost complete control of the government.
Somehow it doesn’t seem plausible that even the corrupt military would allow Trump to end mankind.
But who knows these days.
My congresswoman, Barbara Lee has been trying to get a new AUMF ever since she was the only one to vote against the last one, which has been used to authorize 37 military actions in 14 countries so far.
There is no way even this administration can say that North Korea was involved in 9-11, so they would definitely need a new AUMF for a war there.
Whether they would get one or just act illegally is hard to say. On the one hand, Fergus doesn’t seem to care much about the law, and on the other hand he would certainly want someone else to blame it on, so who really knows?
