Technically correct. But a president can get us in a war and ask for permission later.

(99,705 posts)2. The higher the number the higher the likelihood of the event.
Think of it as a pain index.

(115,674 posts)7. Thank you, because it could've been either. Pain scale is wtf for this all

Xipe Totec
(43,872 posts)6. Do I seem concerned?
I'm just watching this oaf self-destruct in slow motion.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,705 posts)8. You just gave us an extraordinary chance of going to war .
I'm concerned.

(43,872 posts)10. Only congress can declare war. If he steps in w/o authorization... nt

uppityperson
(115,674 posts)9. I'm not sure, limiting to only those 3. For anywhere, I'll pick 10 though
N Korea? Other mid-east country? Georgia? Anywhere?
Short tempered narcissistic immature bully being guided by a nasty white supremacist? Somewhere, at least one place. Minimum.

(12,148 posts)13. I'm giving it 60% I really hope it doesn't happen
and living in Texas the idea of a war with Mexico is especially scary.

(10,893 posts)14. I'd be surprised if
we don't get into another war. No Republican administration is complete without an additional war.
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)17. It all depends on congress
I'd say that right now they would sanction a war with just about anyone. In a few weeks, it could be different story.

spanone

Only one they could get the Sheeple to buy.
If he tries to justify going into Mexico, I think both Eddie Munster and Mitch the Bitch will run for cover.
China, Dog help us all.
