Stop this now.
Congress — you must act immediately to prevent the United States from being dragged into yet another reckless, avoidable, unnecessary foreign war.
There has been escalating, inflammatory rhetoric in recent weeks — about Venezuela, now about Nigeria — and every American can see the pattern: someone in the executive orbit is trying to whip up a pretext, pressure-cook a crisis, and then wrap it in the flag as justification to “strike first.”
That is not foreign policy.
That is not national security.
That is how empires collapse.
And Congress absolutely has the constitutional power — and the constitutional duty — to slam the brakes.
Article I of the United States Constitution is not decorative.
Only Congress can declare war.
You cannot sit silently while saber-rattling rhetoric turns into real-world kinetic escalation.
You cannot shrug and pretend you have no agency while a president or any executive figure postures and threatens other sovereign nations — and drags 330 million Americans right along with the show.
The American people do not want another war.
We are exhausted.
We want:
• diplomacy
• restraint
• sanity
• a functioning government that serves domestic needs first
We do not want another destructive, budget-annihilating, body-count-producing, multi-trillion-dollar geopolitical catastrophe because someone wants to look “tough” on television or score points with cable news ideologues.
Congress — step in.
Reassert your constitutional authority.
Use the War Powers Resolution.
Use public hearings.
Use appropriations.
Use your subpoena power.
Use every tool at your disposal.
Prevent this country from being shoved — again — into conflict we did not ask for, do not need, and did not authorize.
No one elected you to be spectators.
Do your job.
Stop this reckless march toward war — before it becomes irreversible.
