Ore from the putin to use the United NationsSecurity Council and believe that reserve a law and ways to one of the few keep International Relations from sliding into chaos. The law is still the law and we must follow it whether we like it or not. Under current International Law, force is permitted only in self defense. Anything else is unacceptable under the United Nations charter and would constitute an act of aggression. No one doubts poison gas was used in syria.

We stood by and watched what happened to the kurds in iraq. It should never happen again. Force. Ld not use we can decimate his chemical weapons and put a dent in his strength to crush his people and and keep his presidency by use of force.

The biggest problem we have on these types of issues when they come up is the United States veterans and the u. S. Service members. They are the biggest problem and the threat to the world.
