Post guidelines

URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Well, he gave up on the idea of attacking a NATO country real quick. I wonder how US Congress might respond to this.

Give it a day.

Edit: It didn't even take that long. He's back at it.

More like a week...after he's blatantly attacked a sovereign ally. The GOP congress is too busy sucking Trump's rotting cock to actually do anything. And American people in their districts aren't hurting enough to be bothered removing them from office.
