I disagree. In this situation I think we owe it to our people and our allies to explain why we did what we did and why it was worth risking warThere is protocol when making moves that could get our country involved in a war. It’s called the war powers act and it involves coordinating with congress. Trump skipped that because of an immanent threat. Now we have Iran promising retribution. The move needs to be explained and justified with evidence
The administration doesn't need to show evidence to the general public. It is within the resolution on terrorists scope.
I'm sure the top brass of our allies will be shown some evidence. That's another thing the administration doesn't have to share with the public.
I doubt Trump will show our allies (whoever they are anymore) jack sh#t. He doesn't give a d@amn about allies. Remember the NATO meeting with Putin? He'll probably share with Putin, but that's another story.
No, I don't remember the NATO meeting with Putin and neither do you. Russia is not a member of NATO, so Putin would not be there.
Your right. I wast thinking of the Helsinki summit where he held a joint press conference with his buddy Putin and expressed he believed Putin over all the US intelligence service, later people called him a traitor. He insulted NATO leaders publicly in his opening remarks at the NATO summit, which was a couple of weeks before the famous Helsinki Summit. He has reneged on agreements with Australia, lambasted Canada, France, and Tiawan. Heck, you old goat, it would probably be easier to name world leaders and allies he has not insulted, but they aren't allies. Number one on that list is Putin. The point I was attempting to make is the only world leaders he seems to trust are not allies. They are X-KGB communists, Murderous Saudi Princes, and that evil Turkish ass hole Erdegon, that he sold out the Kurds (our allies) to to the benefit of Russia.
