1. Not self-defense
2. No (or any) Congressional authorization
3. No evidence of criminal wrongdoing
4. Occurred in int'l waters
5. No open state of hostilities
6. Criminal groups are not terrorists legally
7. No id on people killed or group targeted

"They know that in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the unpopular self-enriching policies they want. So they know they must focus on preserving and expanding the precedents that permit them to buy American democracy."

I've always said that war is not about numbers or equipment.War is about people, their stories,their lives

The faces you see here are rescuers from Odesa region.Russia attacks Odesa a lot.The rescuers have to deal with the aftermath

None of us chose war.It's been brought upon us and we do our best

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing
