Pelosi: " the significant escalation of the deployment of additional troops to the region.”

[DOTR]

Whether Trump is going to war or not, Pelosi will at least hint that this is exactly what he is doing. She knows it will drastically hurt his 2020 campaign.

Trump has a Reagan, "peace through strength policy". He isn't into full scale wars. I hope he reminds Americans of this. People like Kim in N Korea should receive this message as well. USA isn't going to let people plan crimes against humanity, their citizens, troops or otherwise, but it doesn't mean a decade of being bogged down in war.

Pelosi Statement on Airstrike in Iraq Against High-Level Iranian Military Officials
JANUARY 2, 2020
PRESS RELEASE
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement after the Trump Administration conducted a deadly airstrike targeting Iranians and Iraqis at the Baghdad International Airport:

“American leaders’ highest priority is to protect American lives and interests. But we cannot put the lives of American servicemembers, diplomats and others further at risk by engaging in provocative and disproportionate actions. Tonight’s airstrike risks provoking further dangerous escalation of violence. America – and the world – cannot afford to have tensions escalate to the point of no return.

“The Administration has conducted tonight’s strikes in Iraq targeting high-level Iranian military officials and killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani without an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iran. Further, this action was taken without the consultation of the Congress.

“The full Congress must be immediately briefed on this serious situation and on the next steps under consideration by the Administration, including the significant escalation of the deployment of additional troops to the region.”

yet she has no issue dividing up this country to the "point of no return". almost every politician i know of is cool with that.

as for consulting congress, he doesn't have to from what i understand of the war powers act.

if he's going to commit troops for >30 (or 60?) days then yes he must tell congress. this is also controversial and not always thought to be in line with the constitution.

in any event, pelosi is going to use anything she can to damage trump. this is politics as usual but it still makes me laugh.

I support Trump but I hope he doesn't get conned into another full scale war there. The Neo-Cons were defeated for a reason. He will lose many Independents and even some GOP who don't want another far-right GOP. There is always the fear from the right that he will be pressured by the Never Trumpers, Establishment and others who will sabotage his 2020 campaign by pushing for full war.

Thus far, he seems smart enough to realize the trap that costs American lives and money and he has been true to his campaign promises to avoid wars and even pull out troops. This is the same game the U.S played against Russia to bankrupt them when they were drawn into nuclear spending and a no-win situation in Afghanistan in the 1980's. Yes, take out your greatest enemies and threats, send your message and defend your interests, but do it strategically.

Notice how China is slowly colonizing Africa? They won't fire a shot and they are gaining exponentially. The real war is won economically and via influence. Small special operations and scuttles are necessary in order to maintain global peace but full scale war is a losing endeavor.

Nobody should shed a tear that this POS is gone. There is an infinite number of degrees difference between these targeted strikes vs full blown war.

yea, this one is a crossroads for me. while i'm all for leaving iran and most of the middle east alone, if they come out and attack americans and/or threaten - they will get a response whether they should or not. for the most part they are talk but the recent activity around our embassy and that being an "in my lifetime" memory - is just asking to get bitch slapped.

we'll see from here and while i'm still trying to decipher what happened and what it means, i still do NOT want another war with anyone really. times are just too tense globally and it won't take much of a spark to be fanned into full fledged flames.

Iran hates us no more today than they did a month ago. But they do fear us more now.

You’re right. He can brief them and then she can demand he pull troops out in 60 days...and deal with the fallout. But neither she, the Democrats as a whole nor Iran can stop Trump from tactical actions he deems necessary to protect America.

that was pretty much the point i was making. she can whine and holler all she wants but trump owes her nothing. given what the left has done to him so far, why would he invite nothing but bullshit into things like this?

not saying trumps actions are right or wrong. people will feel how they feel about it and much of that around how they feel about trump. i doubt anyone who hates trump will say "ok that was a good move" in the same manner anyone who is a huge trump supporter would say "maybe we shouldn't have done that". simply a reflection of who we've become these days.

i could say when pelosi wants to be treated as an adult, she can act like one but she's far from the only "child" in office these days.

just who we've become these days.

Sorry but I don't give a rats ass what Pelosi thinks or says about military affairs.

The woman has PROVEN beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is NOT an honest broker.

The Democrats in the house can not be trusted with advanced strategic knowledge.

I agree. They have two Muslims in the House right now and I wouldn't trust either of them as far as I could throw them.

We all know Government workers are gossips. How long before that intel was all over DC??
