Democrats try to stop President Trump’s military power, but it doesn’t change anything

Only Trump can get Democrats to side with Iranian terrorists. 

The Democrat-controlled Congress passed a War Powers resolution yesterday against President Donald Trump.

This measure was made in response to Trump ordering military action against Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Soleimani was killed in a U.S. drone strike on Thursday, January 2, at Baghdad International Airport.

Both Democrats and Republicans had defections in the resolution vote.

Democrats hope that the War Powers resolution will prevent Trump from ordering military actions against Iran, a clear attack against his authority as Commander-in-Chief of our military.

The problem for Democrats is that the resolution passed in the House is a non-binding measure. It carries no weight of being enacted.

Anyone in Congress can push forward a non-binding resolution to support or condemn anything. 

The other fact going against Democrats is that President Trump isn’t infringing on Congress’s constitutional right to declare war. 

The last time Congress officially declared war on another country was in World War II, just after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. 

Only Congress can openly declare war, but that doesn’t mean the United States hasn’t sent troops throughout the world. History tells us differently. The military actions in Korea, Vietnam and every other U.S. military engage were carried out without Congress officially declaring war.

Contrary to what the Democrats say, President Trump was completely justified to launch attacks against Iran. 

The President’s actions were in direct response to Iranian aggression in the region. 

First, there was the rocket attack from Iranian-backed militias that killed a U.S. contractor and wounded several U.S. troops. 

Trump responded to this attack by targeting those militia groups, killing 25 Iranian fighters.  

Then came the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad by Iranian-backed forces on New Year’s Eve, 2019 — just last week. 

President Trump responded by immediately sending in 100 Marines to defend the embassy and drive back the insurgents, followed by more military reinforcements to the region.  

Trump made sure Baghdad wouldn't become “another Benghazi.” 

President Trump has also sent thousands of U.S. troops to the Middle East in order to deter Iran. 

Keep in mind that these events happened long after the Iranians shot down a U.S. drone, attacked oil fields in Saudi Arabia and captured oil tankers. 

Iran’s aggressive actions tell us that President Trump acted justly against them. The fact that Democrats are trying to undermine Trump’s military power when it comes to Iran proves they care more about Iranians than they do about the United States and ordinary Americans. 

Do the Democrats expect us to believe them when they say Trump was wrong to attack Iran, especially after they’re still delaying to send the bogus articles of impeachment from going to the Senate? 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claims that Congress will send the impeachment articles to the Senate next week, but we will have to wait and see.

You may or may not like Trump or his policies, but he is keeping America safe. 

The world is safer today because Soleimani is dead. 

Soleimani was responsible for the deaths of at least 600 U.S. troops in the Middle East and wounding thousands more. That doesn’t include the civilians killed in Iran or the Middle East under Soleimani’s reign of terror.   

Remember, Iran has been antagonizing the United States for over forty years. It began when they stormed our embassy and took hostages in 1979. 

The Iranian government and their people have always chanted “Death to America,” burned our American flag and called for our destruction. They are the ones threatening Israel with the threat of annihilation. Their proxy groups carry out terrorist attacks throughout the Middle East.

Iranians are the ones actually escalating tensions, not President Trump’s actions or words. You will never hear that from the Democrats or the mainstream media. 

President Trump responded to the attack on our embassy by killing Soleimani, the world’s number one terrorist, in a drone strike. 

In retaliation for Soleimani’s death, Iran launched 15 ballistic missiles at U.S. military bases on Tuesday in Iraq. Luckily, no American casualties were reported. 

President Trump is standing up to Iran by not backing down. He is not trying to get the U.S. into another endless war. 

Trump could have called for U.S. military action after Iran launched retaliatory attacks at U.S. military bases on Tuesday, but he is choosing the right path. He isn’t escalating the situation with military attacks inside Iran.

Instead, the Trump Administration announced new economic sanctions against Iran earlier today.

Trump would have acted different if any U.S. personnel had been killed or wounded in Tuesday’s missile attacks by Iran.

The President is not going to send in troops to invade Iran. He will continue using economic sanctions to cripple Iran and its regime. As Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Military, the President can also use our latest weaponry and firepower to attack strategic targets inside Iran, such as their oil fields and nuclear facilities. We do not have to step foot in Iran in order to defeat them. 

If the Iranians kill another U.S. soldier or civilian, or attack another U.S. military base or embassy, Trump will respond with lethal force. He has already done it before and he will do it again.

President Barack Obama gave the Iranians billions in dollars on pallets. 

Trump will continue showing them America’s superior military power, one target at a time.
