I'm no fan of realpolitik - it's killed millions of people - but if the goal of U.S. war is to project global power, we have showed weakness. The nations that already hated us hate us more. The nations that used to respect us no longer trust us. America has squandered all of its moral capital

We’re done, but there’s more… maybe.
“Because I just don’t know enough about it.”

Dear Mr. President:
I write to apprise you of military action taken on March 6,
2026, against the facilities of narco-terrorists affiliated with
a designated terrorist organization. This action was taken at
the invitation of, with the consent of, and in partnership with
the Government of the Republic of Ecuador.
As you know, United States Armed Forces are engaged in
operations to protect the United States by combatting
extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels designated as
terrorist organizations. To combat these organizations and to
deny them sanctuary and freedom of operation, we have engaged
friendly foreign nations to provide limited operational basing
of combat-equipped forces. On March 2, 2026, I separately
notified you of changes in the global posture of United States
Armed Forces in the Western Hemisphere.
At the invitation and with the consent of the Government of the
Republic of Ecuador, United States Armed Forces partnered with
Ecuadorian Armed Forces to strike on March 6, 2026, the
facilities of narco-terrorists affiliated with a designated
terrorist organization. United States Armed Forces planned and
executed this mission in a manner designed to empower a partner
nation, degrade narco-terrorist activities, and minimize
civilian casualties. Although present for this partnered
operation, United States ground forces did not come into contact
with hostile forces.
I directed this military action to advance United States
national security and foreign policy interests and to fulfill my
responsibility to protect Americans at home and abroad. I acted
pursuant to my constitutional authority as Commander in Chief
and as Chief Executive to conduct United States foreign
relations.
I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the
Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers
Resolution (Public Law 93-148). I appreciate the support of the
Congress in this action.
The Honorable Charles Grassley
President pro tempore
of the Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Sincerely,
New:
Strange war powers report to Congress for the recent partnered US military op in Ecuador.
I interpret this as a hostilities report notwithstanding this disclaimer:
"Although present for this partnered operation, United States ground forces did not come into contact with hostile forces." 1/n

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
