Do you remember...?
Do you remember about how the START Treaty was going to make the world a safer and more stable place? I do.
Do you remember a time when Nations would actually declare their intentions and declare war before invading another country so that civilized norms between Nations are affirmed? I do.
Do you remember when the Left wanted the world to hold to standards of International Law? I do.
Do you remember when the Left criticized drawing lines and making threats as a serious destabilizing element of foreign policy? I do.
Do you remember a time when a President of the US would decry an act against International Law and the Laws of War as such? I do.
Do you remember a time when a President would have just said the plain things about International Law, the Laws of War and that the US decries barbaric invasions of an undeclared nature as making a Nation into a rogue as such activities were destabilizing to all Nations? I do.
Do you remember a time when a President, seeing foreign aggression would speak openly about working with our allies so as to formulate a response against rogue regimes? I do.
Do you remember a time when the Left decried activities of the US in the past when each and every particular of International Law was seen as unjust and that made the US a barbaric place? I do.
Do you see the way the Left reacts to this and how it now, when push comes to shove against a barbaric actor who does things against all standards of International Law, are making excuses for him? I do.
Yes I do remember these things and see the response of the oh-so righteous Left when a tyrant decides to just step into a place on his own without declaring war.
I remember that with Austria by reading history.
I remember that with Saddam Hussein and Kuwait by seeing it unfold.
I remember that by seeing Congress draft modern day uses of force, which are declarations of war, and having the Left decry the civilized manner of work between Nations as ‘illegal’ and ‘uncivilized’.
And now I see it again with Putin and Russia.
And I also see the inability to address civilized standards of diplomacy, the normality of relationships between Nations and the laws of war as part of the way civilized Nations act as not being upheld by the Left today.
Yes I see all of that and understand who the enemy is.
They are clear by their actions and inactions, both.
