You are right on target. We are witnessing a cluster of cowardly punks viciously attacking defenseless ships, and preparing a military invasion in order to have a "national security crisis" to fully expand his powers. They are vampires in the most literal sense. And thus far, the cowardly maga in DC are afraid to even try to stop him.

As citizans, we have the responsibility to do our best to put the brakes on. People at the grass roots level have to communicate a "no way in hell" message, including to our elected representatives. We need to be exercising all of our Amendment 1 rights at this time.
