How is that not enough for military intervention?
The Executive Branch clearly is in “IDGAF I do what I want” mode.

Concerning the first part he’s simply calling up reserve troops to participate in “operation Atlantic resolve” which has been ongoing since I believe 2014ish and well within his rights as laid out in the law which I’ve linked below.
I don’t think he’s even adding more people, just bringing up reserves to make up for everyone leaving the military because of all the bs.

I understand they’ve used that code to “pull up reserves” ever since Bush used it send troops to Iraq.
It’s clearly been used to avoid Congress declaring war since Iraqi freedom. My issue is that Biden and every talking head politician has no issue calling it the War in Ukraine.
If it’s a war with NATO involvement, Congress should be authorizing what is sent where. Congress authorized weapons being sent for the War in Ukraine, after all. But we’re just going to ignore that when it comes to troops.
