"Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) announced his introduction of a joint resolution that would authorize the use of U.S. Armed Forces to defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine in the event that Vladimir Putin escalates his unjust war against our democratic allies. This Authorization for Use of Military Force to Defend America’s Allies Resolution of 2022 would authorize the President of the United States to utilize our forces to respond to a scenario in which the Russian Federation uses chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons against Ukraine"Originally Posted by blurred

Thank you for sharing that. A heartwarming vid from ukraine is a welcome sight these days.
I'm increasingly a fan of Patron, a bomb sniffing dog that has become a sort of sensation in Ukraine lately.

Speaking of befuddling the mind:
For half a millennium, Russian foreign policy has been characterized by soaring ambitions that have exceeded the country’s capabilities. Beginning with the reign of Ivan the Terrible in the sixteenth century, Russia managed to expand at an average rate of 50 square miles per day for hundreds of years, eventually covering one-sixth of the earth’s landmass.

When Putin runs a racist authoritarian regime, and sends the "lesser" races to do his fighting, there is some risk of separatist movements. Especially if he kills a lot of them, or loses.

Russia runs on corruption and dry rot. Russian military vehicles are driving around with tires "MADE IN USSR" in English script. Which means they are old and were made for an export market, probably India.
Somebody reached deeply into a storage depot somewhere in the Russian Federation to get those Cold War era tires because there was nothing else.
You don't put something that potentially dangerous on a major weapons system unless you are desperate. Even if you are Russian.

Pre-approval is a problem. I also think grouping chemical, biological, and nuclear together is a problem. If we draw an expanded red line and then there's no response the line gets erased.
Because they were used in Syria, we already know chemical weapons are possible. That taboo is already broken. So lumping chemical weapons in with nuclear weapons runs the risk of moving nuclear into the same category as chemical which makes nuclear deterrence less credible.
It also doesn't address what I think is the most likely nuclear scenario where Russia tries to hold onto captured territory in the face of Ukrainian advances, after holding a fraudulent referenda, and then draws their own red line around it with a nuclear threat. At some point so many threats are issued they lose meaning, essentially daring adversaries not to take them seriously.

The Russian national motto should be, "And then it got worse..."
Seems Russians crave a sadist freak who ascends by the most Machiavellian means. No one but blood drenched mass murderers and antichrist wannabes seem to be good enough.
"It would be a measureless disaster if Russian barbarism overlaid the culture and independence of the ancient States of Europe."

Some Ukraine drone blowing Russian iron up porn. You know you shouldn't enjoy it, but you will.
Nailing that patrol boat while it was doing evasive turns at 50 mph was impressive. Ukraine claims boat boats sunk.

I know the bayraktar has its own song now but the name always reminds me of the Daktari theme song.
