Tim Kaine: Trump Might Launch a War on Syria, N. Korea or Iran Because He’s ‘Stressed Out’ Over Mueller

‘If we let President Trump unilaterally initiate a military campaign against Syria what’s to stop him from doing it against North Korea or Iran’

EXCERPT:

KAINE: "I’m very concerned about it for this reason. I voted in August of 2014 that the United States should take military action against Syria for gassing its own citizens. There needs to be a consequence for that, but it can’t be the president just deciding on his own without Congress. If we let President Trump unilaterally initiate a military campaign against Syria, what’s to stop him from doing it against North Korea or Iran or some other nation, particularly when he’s so stressed out and rambling and worried about domestic investigation into the legitimacy of his presidency? This is exactly the reason that Congress needs to quit acting like an Article 2.5 branch and start acting like an Article 1 branch again when it comes to war making powers."
