Back in 2018, after Trump bombed Syria, Congress proposed an AUMF for our military occupation and efforts at regime change in that nation. Nancy Pelosi insisted that an AUMF was necessary if we wanted to continue to bomb Syria.

It appears that Congress won't let the Forever War in Afghanistan end.
It appears that the Pentagon won't let the illegal War in Syria end.

To be 100% accurate, the American involvement in Syria's Civil War was always a shit show.
There's the time we spent hundreds of millions of dollars building a rebel army, only to see that rebel army immediately turn their weapons over to Al Qaeda and throw away their uniforms.

I think these three headlines sum up the situation pretty effectively. (links are here, here and here)

The Nimitz and Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier strike groups are currently in the South China Sea carrying out the Orwellian-named Freedom of Navigation Operations.
Meanwhile, Congress is preparing to draw a line in the sand.

While everyone is focused on the pandemic, several extremely important developments have happened in recent weeks that are being mostly overlooked.

Afghanistan

Saudi Arabia has committed countless war crimes in Yemen with American planes and bombs.
Not only does the Trump Administration not care about this, they seem proud of it.
But the Trump Administration does care about mass layoffs in Texas during an election year, and by a strange twist of fate Frackers and AntiWar Activists have wound up on the same side of an issue.

If there's one thing America knows its how to bomb Iraq.
