The US Congress is preparing a resolution giving Biden the right to use force in the conflict in the Middle East

The United States must be prepared for third parties to enter the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, so the US President must be prepared to use force against various Middle Eastern factions. At the moment, the US Congress is preparing a draft resolution that would give Biden such powers.


A group of Republicans in the US House of Representatives is preparing a draft resolution that would allow Biden to use force if third parties, in particular the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, intervene in the conflict. The document is called Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF - “Authorization to use military force”). According to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, the White House currently does not have legislative permission to strike various groups operating in the Middle East.

We must be prepared for Hezbollah to become embroiled in conflict

McCall said, referring to groups linked to Iran.

In general, as soon as the resolution is approved, Biden will have a “legitimate” reason to launch a series of strikes against the forces opposing Israel. Under US law, only Congress can authorize strikes in international conflicts. The USA does everything according to the law, including bombing. They forbade themselves, they allowed it themselves, everything is legal, there is a document.

At the moment, the United States is pulling its forces towards Israel, transferring quick reaction forces in the form of 2 thousand marines, an aircraft carrier group, and also deploying combat troops in neighboring countries closer to the Jewish state. Aviation. For now, Washington is saying that they don’t want to fight, but this is all just in case.

    Wow, it looks like the Jews got into a big fight, since they pushed for such drastic measures from their American colony.

      And what, it was possible...??? Or is it only for the “exceptional and greatest”...??? Without the consent of the UN and the approval of the Middle East... So maybe we can try this too...???
      They need everything to be according to the “rules” -
      It doesn’t matter who is right and who is wrong...
      They will always crawl into you... without soap,
      To show you my insidious nature...
      But the rules are known - like a drawbar,
      Of course, everyone writes them for themselves...
      Wherever you turn, that's where it went
      And the "truth" will always win yours ...
      And in fairness we need everything -
      According to the highest law from heaven ...
      And we're not going to dutifully,
      Listen to the “wants” of the States and the EU...
      You even drown in your sanctions,
      And we will get them, in general, not in the first,
      I don’t know what “partners” you are proud of,
      And I am always proud of my country!!!
      More than once you attacked Russia,
      And you always received... from us...
      You attacked, we defeated you,
      Learn history, sir!

      Israel, with its fascism and bloodthirstiness, risks blowing up the entire region. Hezbollah is just flowers. The Egyptian and Jordanian regimes may have to be saved. This is why the United States is preparing for any scenario.

    You also need to show the “test tube” to the UN, otherwise it’s not particularly legal....

      So they are already preparing irrefutable evidence that the Palestinians are shooting at themselves.

    An excellent reason to supply weapons to Lebanon without considering yourself a party to the conflict. We must use it. Start with RCC

      This is the patrimony of Iran, so even without us there are people there who will spoil the mood of the mattresses and the Israelis. In this country, for the time being, it is better for us to remain in a neutral status and continue to carry out the tasks determined by the Northern Military District in Ukraine.

        What are you doing? There are only three aircraft carriers above... In Ukraine there is still nowhere to shoot them

          The Iranians were already the first to sink them, so let them drown them. We will watch. Closely. Yes

        It would be possible to send Onyxes to Iran for testing on mattresses.

    It would be interesting to know whose side you are on?
    Has the US Congress now become the UN Security Council?
    Or is it all about power now?
    Hello!!! Vladimir Vladimirovich! Have you arrived home?

      That’s what she decided. All this is a UN screen so that intelligent “monkeys” killing each other would consider themselves more civilized than their ancestors from the cave, who essentially did the same thing hi

    Yes, they didn’t give a damn about the UN from the big bell tower. The congressional resolution is enough...

    While I was searching today in the sky over the Mediterranean using Biden’s Flytradar, I tracked 6 - C17 in the same area in an hour. Something like excessive activity. I’m no longer tracking, maybe they’re already flying in schools. The piece of paper is just a formality.

    Who can he use force against? In Syria, Russian troops, Turkey are against Israel, the rest around Israel are also against it. Only against Israel, so that he sits quietly and does not rock the rock, does not shout trouble to the whole world. soldier

The document is called Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF - “Authorization to use military force”).

    And I can even guess how many there are and who these congressmen are...

    The Israeli daily newspaper The Jerusalem Post, however, five years ago, asked the question in the article “Which of the candidates in the upcoming elections to the US Congress is Jewish?” And she answered herself:

    There are 56 people in the US Congress who identify as Jews. Among them, 41 are Democrats.

    However, it is not entirely clear whether the House of Representatives will be able to discuss and make any decisions without a speaker. After all, the chaos in Congress following his election is dragging on indefinitely. The first round of voting for Jim Jordan ended in fiasco. 20 Republicans - including all Democrats - opposed it. Moreover, the Republicans have a shaky majority. To win, any candidate from them must consolidate almost all Republicans around him. It is extremely difficult to do this in the conditions of the current split. And most likely it is unlikely, because Jordan is a representative of the right wing of the Republicans and also an isolationist, which hawks in both parties do not like. And besides, he is still investigating Biden’s dealings.

    Well, striped idiots don't learn anything. Well, over and over again you run away from the East in disgrace after your interventions... well, aren’t you used to it yet? Does the emergency response interfere?

    Meanwhile, we began to patrol the Black Sea with daggers hanging, and the Iranians are putting missiles on alert. And this allows us to reach the Mediterranean and close the Strait of Hormuz. Well, both we and Iran have air defense missiles. And what will the aircraft carrier groups of p-owls do? They will be able to inflict damage without question, but they will only swim back “limping on both fins” without any possibility of being repaired in real time.

    It seems that the rakes of Vietnam and Afghanistan did not teach them anything. Now they want to try to go out not only against Iran, but also against the entire Islamic world. And the Israelis can be congratulated, they were cheated like suckers. Previously, it was “nenka” before the last Ukrainian, now it is “for the promised land” until the last Jew. Bravo.

    Two US aircraft carrier groups (sailing to the eastern Mediterranean) can
    become tempting, but quite dangerous diving objects.

    What right do these people even have to meddle in the affairs of a foreign country with their dirty faces? We've been playing at being gendarmes, it's time to get punched in the face!
