Boy, that's a tough solve. Amend the document, or threaten to withdraw from NATO.
My policy? If we're going back in time and enacting "my policy"? The US would never have been hit by terrorists in the first place.
We would not have overthrown the 51 election in Iran. Iran would be a democracy this very day. And never have been a threat to the US. Most Iranians would have no idea where America was, and would never have reason to chant "death to America".
Guess what that means? It means we would never have bankrolled, armed, and gave military training to Saddam. Not only would we not have to do that because Iran wouldn't have been a threat to the US... we wouldn't have prop up Saddam because (drumroll), we have a different strategy. So now there's no invasion in 91, because there's no need...and, again, that's not our strategy.
Afghanistan? Russia would still be dealing with that in 2019 had we not intervened. And who would OBL and others blame for their lot in life? That's right. Russia. Another problem solved.
Yep. And all part of our interventionist policy.old salt wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:57 am Our large scale presence in the ME dates back to Desert Shield/Storm in '91. We stayed for the next 12 years, policing no fly zones, bombing to protect Iraqi civilians & to enforce UN resolutions, & going back into Iraq for Operation Provide Comfort to protect the Iraqi Kurds,
All that was done with the approval of Congress, including assembling a 150 nation coalition to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait.
I'm not a lawyer. I'd imagine the answer is yes, but I don't know.
