WIth regards to Niger and Iraq, do you even know where these countries are? caffeine writes: Nevertheless.
I'm at a total loss as to how the US could be currently considered to be at war with either. caffeine writes: No. . If having soldiers there is enough, are you also at war with Germany?"You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end.

Hi Jar.
jar writes: But can any of those be called major conflicts? I guess it is a relative term. They are major enough for the white house to release this report for funding war to Congress: Report on the Legal and Policy Frameworks Guiding the United States’ Military Force and Related National Security Operations, Officially we are at war in the seven countries mentioned according to the unclassified portions of the report that the NY Times got ahold of. I feel it is important we do not forget that. So minor as they may seem.....Lest we forget."You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end.

Hi jar,
The US unfortunately has expanded it's ridiculous war on terror. PUBLIC LAW 107—243OCT. 16, 2002AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ RESOLUTION OF 2002 VerDate 11- And the The Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), Pub. L. 107-40, codified at 115 Stat. 224 and passed as S.J.Res. 23 by the United States Congress on September 14, 2001 Here is a interesting Slate article: Fifteen years after the start of the Iraq war, the U.S. is at war in at least seven countries. Unless we change it the war on terror is anywhere the US says it is against anywhere the US says it is. And yes that is really bad and need to be changed."You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs

Hi AZPaul3,
AZPaul3 writes: Our children will most probably live under dictatorships in a destroyed world. I hope not. If Dump has done anything he has shown our flaws. No American president has ever shit on our constitution and justice system to the extent that he seems to excel at. It is new territory that our new future leaders will hopefully be able to remedy in shoring up our democracy against such things. The GOP has gone completely off the reservation in their support for such a tyrant. Standing by and letting this corruption continue is inexcusable. I have faith in our country, this too shall pass and we will all be smarter and stronger once we as Americans are free of this flock of buzzards. My only hope is that the people that need to be punished will be. Just wait and see what happens when these shit stains are asked, once Trump is gone, what did you do during the war? The real squirming will begin. I see hope, I see young people becoming aware! Good for them they seem to realize our problems will not be solved by kicking the can yet again down the road.That time has passed. "You were not there for the beginning.

Hi Faith,
Try and for once stop conflating all these problems in a Us vs Them. Our problems will not be solved by the continued polarization of our team vs their team. The "Left" is not wanting to destroy the economy.The "Left" does not want to put people out of work. We are all people who want the same things, prosperity, freedom and safety. There will always be selfish people who want more than they can ever spend and do what ever it takes to insure the laws and protections are in place to keep them enriched. It is that simple. So just know if these rich people get away with what they want they will be living in a Dome eating lab grown caviar being served chilled synthetic champagne by robots. All the while the world burns. Once there is no more water or people to till the land what use will money be?"You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs
