ORAC,
Your analysis of this possible end to the War Powers Act lacks its usual understanding of issues I am used to seeing in your posts.
Some of the labels you attached seem to be prompted by their being found in media reporting rather than based upon fact.
One example is confusing "America First" with "Isolationism".....they are quite different concept.
The former is based upon determining what is in the best interest of the United States after consdering all possible information, factors, benefit and risk.
The latter is far simpler and connotes withdrawing and not getting involved at all.
No one can defend the fact we have engaged in Wars that could have not been fought, fought them in ways that did not provide any hope of success and permanent improvement in the regions where we fought them.
Twenty years of war in Afghanistan and we saw how that turned out....much the same as in Southeast Asia.
Now we are seeing ourselves being dragged into yet another War by an Administration that does not have a coherent strategy and is floundering about in its attempts to find one and then sell it to the Nation and our Allies.
Rather than drag this thread into another political argument....perhaps it should be moved to Jet Blast.
A limited discussion of the possible effects the ending of that set of powers by Congress might have on the course our support of the Ukraine Government and People takes might be appropriate for this forum.
Simply put the termination of the War Powers by Congress only limits the direct involvement of US Forces in combat.....to end support to the Ukraine would require a defunding of the support as was done by Congress at the end of the war in Southeast Asia.
