Trump unconstitutionally sending troops to Saudi Arabia?

So you agree then, that the interventionist war in Yemen is a war and since it's a war, that it's unconstitutional? Is it not a non diplomatic means of dispute?

 

He's not sending troops to Yemen.

 

He is supporting the war in Yemen, whether troops are being sent or not.

 

OK fine have it your way.

 

What do you call the 200,000 active troops that have deployed overseas for the last 60 years, diplomats?

 

According to the pentagon, "peacekeeping forces".

 

@ Political Master

Since 1998 so many different jihadi groups have moved into Yemen.. to include Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, al Houthis and some Somali pirates. They have given the Saudis fits and attacked the kingdom again and again. The SAG aren't the bad guys.. for the past 50 years they have propped Yemen up with healthcare, hospitals and clinics, schools, colleges, Water treatment facilities, food, medicine and gasoline.

 

So if your keeping peace then it's not a war.

 

Its important to keep the Bab al Mandab open to shipping.. Same with Straits of Hormuz.

 

Obviously..., because the pentagon said so. Note: Many of those countries are anything but peaceful and are pretty much warzones.

 

Do you have a different definition for peace keeping, I'd love to hear it.

 

Lol, It's anything but peacekeeping. It's a label meant to misdirect and was meant as sarcasm. The only countries I am sort of ok with having troops in are the members of NATO and our close democratic allies like Japan.

The word you're looking for would be war or occupation war for a more lengthy term.

 

And on the side of LA police cars it states;
To Serve and Protect

 

At least the police in LA stay in LA

Nice try though

 

Not your call.

 

Then when you become Commander-in-Chief or even Defense Secretary you can limit our deployment to those countries.

 

Since when does anything on this forum have to do with it being "my call" or "your call"

 

Do you think its important to keep the Red Sea and Persian Gulf open to shipping?

 

so now you should speak for me...…..not your call LOL

 

If it is important, is allying with Saudi Arabia and supporting their every action necessary to keep it open?
Depends how important trade with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and all the bordering countries is to us. If it's not that big of a deal then not so much.

opinion noted

 

240 companies in South Carolina alone do business in KSA.. and that means JOBS.
Meanwhile, KSA is producing less oil than they have in 17 years and the shipping costs for oil tankers is sky rocketing.

 

All the more reason to make the US more self sustaining in terms of energy production. That means jobs.

 

Shale oil is declining now.

 

Saudi Arabia is without a doubt a terrorist nation.

 

Nope. Never have been.
