WIST QuotationsLet us learn our lessons. Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events. Antiquated War Offices, weak, incompetent, or arrogant Commanders, untrustworthy allies, hostile neutrals, malignant Fortune, ugly surprises, awful miscalculations — all take their seats at the Council Board on the morrow of a declaration of war. Always remember, however sure you are that you could easily win, that there would not be a war if the other man did not think he also had a chance.

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
The provision of the Constitution giving the war-making power to Congress, was dictated, as I understand it, by the following reasons. Kings had always been involving and impoverishing their people in wars, pretending generally, if not always, that the good of the people was the object. This, our Convention understood to be the most oppressive of all Kingly oppressions; and they resolved to so frame the Constitution that no one man should hold the power of bringing this oppression upon us. But your view destroys the whole matter, and places our President where kings have always stood.Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Letter (1848-02-15) to William H. Herndon

Martin’s letter reflects a broader trend of the right targeting Wikipedia. Last year, #Musk told supporters to “stop donating to Wokepedia” before later calling the site “an extension of legacy media propaganda.” In January, a report from Forward.com found that The #HeritageFoundation [..] created a presentation with a series of slides geared toward “targeting” #Wikipedia editors

william.maggos#DefendTheGuard legislation would prohibit a state’s #NationalGuard units from being deployed into active combat without a formal #DeclarationOfWar by Congress, as provided by the U.S. Constitution. #uspol

AmgineDo #Canadians realize that a government saying "We are going to renegotiate the border" with its neighbour is a #DeclarationOfWar?
That is what a #war is: renegotiating the border.
*Maybe* M Navarro misspoke, he may not have understood the reason **why** countries use #diplomats to communicate #diplomatic topics.
But I would tend to doubt that.
#Canada has stopped negotiations with the #USA. I expect #CAF are at a heightened state of alert. Please be cautious.
AmgineIn 1917 Woodrow Wilson, in response to Germany's resumption of submarine attacks on civilian shipping, asked the #USCongress for a #DeclarationOfWar. 4 days later, he received it, but it was not unanimous.
In the #USHouseOfRepresentatives 50 voted against going to war, and 8 did not vote at all. In the #USSenate 6 voted against the declaration, and 8 did not vote.
The #press of the time did not hound all 72 #pacifist s; they targeted the only #woman in congress, Jeanette Rankin.
