From June 17, 2019: It's getting ugly in the Persian Gulf: Iran allegedly attacks two oil tankers. It announces that it's going to violate the JCPOA, the so-called Iran nuclear agreement. There's talk of military strikes. Europe is edgy, and the Secretary of State is on Sunday talk shows being edgier still.Benjamin Wittes sat down with Suzanne Maloney and Scott R. Anderson to talk it all through. They talked about whether the AUMF covers Iran, why Iran is doing this stuff, whether the Trump administration brought this all on itself, and where it's all going from here.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

From March 12, 2021: President Joe Biden has conducted military strikes in Syria, has articulated legal theories under which the series of strikes were proper and has temporarily reined in the use of drone strikes. To talk about Biden and war powers, Benjamin Wittes sat down with John Bellinger, who served as the legal adviser at the State Department and the legal adviser for the National Security Council in the Bush administration; Lawfare senior editor Scott Anderson, who worked in the State Department's Office of the Legal Adviser, as well as in the Iraqi embassy; and Rebecca Ingber, who also worked in the State Department's Office of the Legal Adviser and is currently a professor at Cardozo Law School. They talked about how the Biden administration justified the strikes in Syria, the reports it has not yet given on its legal and policy framework for counterterrorism, whether this is the year that AUMF reform might finally happen and which authorizations to use military force might finally see reform.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Seemingly, the United States has been engaged in some armed conflict somewhere in the world for most of our lives.  However, the United States has not had a formal declaration of war since World War II.  How exactly does that happen?  From what authority does the Congress and President engage in war or armed conflict?  What is a Congressional Authorization for Use of Military Force and what are its limitations?  How does all of this relate to the almost 2 year long conflict in Ukraine today?  To help us answer all of these worthwhile questions with our all-star student panel, we are delighted to welcome Jamil Jaffer, Founder and Executive Director of the National Security Institute at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, for this discussion on war powers.

This week on Rational Security, Alan, Quinta, and Scott reunited to discuss the week's big national security news, including:“Do as I Menendsez, Not as I Menendo.” New Jersey Senator and, until recently, chairman of the Senate foreign relations committee Bob Menendez was indicted alongside his wife last week, on charges that they accepted money from Egyptian businessmen in exchange for information and favors arising from Menendez's official duties. How serious are these charges? Where will they lead?“…with a Silver Spoon.” D.C. federal district court judge Tanya Chutkan is weighing a gag order on former President Trump, aimed at restraining him from commenting on the proceedings or attacking various officials involved in them. Trump and his attorneys, meanwhile, see the gag order request as an attack on his First Amendment rights. Who is likely to prevail? And what are the broader stakes?“The Forever Chore.” The House foreign affairs committee is set to hold the latest in a long series of hearings on a topic that has been on Congress's agenda for more than a decade: reforming the 2001 AUMF that provides the legal basis for most global counterterrorism operations. But despite near-universal agreement on the need for change, progress has been limited. Is there reason to think this time will be different?For object lessons, Alan recommended the Dear Committee Trilogy, which even non-academics will find hilarious. Quinta urged listeners to check out the recent New York court decision concluding that former President Trump and his businesses misrepresented the value of various properties. And Scott log-rolled for his new law review article digging into some of the tricky constitutional issues raised by the prospect of defending Taiwan.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Today, Les, Jess, and Jamil discuss the Senate's recent vote to repeal two Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs). One, from 1991, authorized the original Persian Gulf War to push Iraq out of Kuwait. The second, from 2002, authorized the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that were never found.Are either of the 1991 or 2002 AUMFs still necessary? Does this impact the President's ability to act? Does the vote represent a Congressional willingness for U.S. pullback from the Middle East?Hear our experts debate these issues and more in less than 10 minutes on our latest episode of Fault Lines!Want to learn more about this topic?

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She hosts Natalia Mehlman-Petrzela, professor of history at The New School, to discuss her recent book Fit Nation: The Gains And Pains Of America's Exercise Obsession. Then she is joined by Daniel Finn, features editor at Jacobin, to discuss his recent piece "Britain's Power Elite Has Defeated Its Challengers by Creating a Political Wasteland". Emma first runs through updates on another Fed interest rate increase, a Federal appeals judge ruling against Trump, Biden shutting down the White House's COVID response team, the Senate voting to keep the AUMF, the Chicago Teachers' union backing Brandon Johnson, and various updates on far-right challenges to democracy and Queer life, before parsing through Bernie Sanders' confrontation with Moderna over their planned vaccine price gauge. Natalia Mehlman-Petrzela then joins as she and Emma dive right into the history of America's fitness obsession and the complicated push and pull between progress with self-expression and corporations capitalizing on developing misogynist and capitalist expectations. First, Mehlman-Petrzela looks to the legacy of Jack LaLanne, the first Fifties fitness guru, and how his programs served to start a shift from seeing fitness as an ego-driven hobby to a fundamental aspect of self-improvement and health with broad consensus. After parsing through LaLanne's particular marketing to suburban housewives, Natalia and Emma tackle the development of the fitness industry not around communal ideas of public health, but hyper-individualized concepts of self-improvement that nestled somewhere between labor and leisure, and how this saw success across the political spectrum, before wrapping up the interview with the impact of the 2008 financial crisis, fitness' full transformation into a consumptive industry, and the hyper-atomization that we've seen since develop over the last few years. Daniel Finn and Emma then parse through his recent piece responding to the Economist's dubbing of a new era of British politics as a new “Great Moderation,” which attempts to paint the active expulsion of the left wing from politics as a return to a politics of managerial competence after a period of populist demagoguery. Parsing through this, Finn tackles the very-much-still-relevant presence of the populist far-right in British politics and why that is seen as valuable to the center-right establishment, before he and Emma step back to assess how the British establishment was able to expunge the left wing of the labor party from mainstream politics. They first look to the material foundation of the 2008 financial crisis that was met with a decade of British austerity which completely crippled the working class, also exploring the two challenges it faced: one in the form of Scottish independence led by Nicola Sturgeon and the other in the emergence of a Labour movement led by Jeremy Corbyn. Wrapping up the interview, Finn walks Emma through the process through which the British establishment, bolstered by the mainstream press, was able to fearmonger over wedge-issue culture wars, taking a single element of a popular platform (trans rights for Sturgeon and pro-Palestine support for Corbyn) and painting it as a broad strokes undemocratic attack on a minority group. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they talk with Brian from Flagstaff about gun buyback's potential in the US, also watching Russell Brand rep the Rumble brand, and the recent TikTok congressional hearing.

The Senate could take another step toward repealing the Iraq AUMFs. Republicans signal a balanced budget blueprint could take a back seat. Megan Mineiro has your CQ Morning Briefing for Tuesday, March 21.

Today marks 20 years since the US invaded Iraq. In 2001 only one member of Congress voted against the war in Afghanistan: Rep. Barbara Lee. Rep. Lee believed Congress was abdicating its war powers. And she turned out to be right. Boyd reflects on that moment 20 years ago and looks at a new effort by Senator Tim Kaine to repeal the AUMF and formally end the wars. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Thursday, the Senate began to re-evaluate one of the most controversial episodes in American history: the Iraq war.  After a generation of use and abuse, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling a vote to repeal the Iraq AUMF, or authorization for the use of military force, which has been a key underpinning for America's so-called “forever wars” in the Middle East. But Stephen Hadley, the man who was the architect of many of the national security policies that the Iraq AUMF enabled, has something to say before Congress votes. Hadley was President George W. Bush's national security advisor from 2005 to 2009 and was Dick Cheney's guy at the negotiating table with Russia during the George H.W. Bush administration. Now, he has just published a book called Hand-Off: The Foreign Policy George W. Bush Passed to Barack Obama that chronicles 20 years of war and politics in America.  On this week's episode of Playbook Deep Dive, Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza speaks with the former Bush adviser about what we stand to lose if Congress is sloppy about repealing the Iraq war AUMF, what Bush got right and wrong on China, how Joe Biden's foreign policy echoes Bush's Freedom Agenda, and how President Biden can learn from Bush's successes and failures dealing with Vladimir Putin. Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO. Stephen Hadley is the former National Security Advisor for President George W. Bush. Afra Abdullah is an associate producer for POLITICO audio. Kara Tabor is a producer for POLITICO audio. Alex Keeney is a senior producer for POLITICO audio. Jenny Ament is the executive producer for POLITICO audio.

In this episode, Alex starts by going over the chaotic weather in California. Then he discusses how Silicon Valley Bank, “among the top 20 American commercial banks, with $209 billion in total assets at the end of last year” has failed after a bank run and a capital crisis that made it the second largest failure of a financial institution in history. Alex questions whether this is a one-off event or the beginning of a financial crisis. For the remainder of the episode, Alex goes into how the kidnapping of four Americans, and the murder of two of them, in Mexico has sparked hawish rhetoric towards Mexico. Now Republicans, some that oppose military force in Ukraine, want to consider using an Authorization for the Use of Emergency Force (AUMF) to be able to attack cartel-owned drug labs. While this AUMF will look different from those used to invade Iraq in 2001, Alex worries that this AUMF will start a new war on drugs that could backfire. Dan Crenshaw, one of the Republicans pushing for this AUMF, says it would be different than the AUMF of 2001 and would look more like how the United States helped Colombia in the 1980s and 1990s. 

War is bloody, expensive and hard. And sometimes, necessary.  The prolonged occupation of Afghanistan was probably not necessary. The initial invasion probably was. But we can debate all of that for decades. And we will. But what is not debatable is the incredibly high cost of leaving your allies, or even your own Marines and troops, to fight and die on their own.  If you leave your people hanging at the most key moment, it will be even more bloody, expensive and hard. And that will be true of the war in Ukraine. And that war to protect the freedom, sovereignty and very existence of Ukraine is not a war of choice. This is a war of necessity.  March Madness is every day in Ukraine. It's an especially brutal and pivotal time for the war. And we're strategically digging into what's most important, what new US weapons are possibly en route, and what's likely to happen next. To include breaking down what the hell China is doing. With a guest who knows combat and strategy. He's been there and done that. He's a returning champion. And a true American hero. A leader who represents the best of what leadership is all about. And a guy who knows a thing or two about things that are bloody, necessary and hard. He's General Barry McCaffrey. He served in the United States Army for 32 years.  When he retired in 1996, he was the most decorated General serving in the United States Army, having been awarded 3 Purple Heart Medals for wounds received in combat, 2 Distinguished Service Crosses (the nation's second highest award for valor), and 2 Silver Stars for valor.  He served 4 combat tours taught at West Point--his alma mater. And has a degree from Harvard. He's in the US Army Ranger Hall of Fame who is also a very proud father and grandfather.  Past appearances: Episode 85 - Nov. 13, 2020 Welcome to a briefing from the General on what's most important, what's underreported and what's next.  Welcome to a master class on Ukraine, China, and America. Welcome to another conversation about war. Yes, another one. Because the war has never stopped.

Melanie, Zack, and Chris, survey the course of Russia's brutal war of aggression in Ukraine at the one-year point, with a focus on a recent paper by RAND's Samuel Charap and Miranda Priebe. How did we get here? What key assumptions have been tested? And what does that mean for the future? How do U.S. and Ukrainian interests in this war align or conflict? Does a long war serve anyone's interest? And what are the prospects that this war will end any time soon? Grievances for China's mishandling of the balloon fiasco, and to Disney for bowing to the Chinese Communist Party's implicit censorship. Attapeople to those negotiating a new Compact of Free Association with countries in the South Pacific, for the few smart voices trying to dial down the hysteria over balloons, and to those members of Congress hoping to repeal the 2002 Iraq war AUMF.

The 2002 Iraq AUMF authorized the invasion of Iraq and a variety of U.S. military activities since then, and a large bipartisan group of senators and representatives have decided it's time for it to go away. A repeal bill was passed by the House and is awaiting action in the Senate, but we don't know if there's going to be time for that action before the Senate adjourns. It's a good opportunity to have a conversation about this orphaned AUMF that just keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny through the decades. To talk through the history of the 2002 AUMF, its surprising rebirth, and its dangerous continued life, Lawfare editor-in-chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare senior editor Scott R. Anderson, who recently wrote a two-part series on the subject for Lawfare, focusing on the history and practice of the 2002 AUMF, as well as its interpretations and implications.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

20 years ago this week, Congress approved George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq with the AUMF... AKA the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force. Since then, presidents have used the AUMF to justify military strikes not authorized by Congress. But could it be coming to an end soon? Olivier Knox from the Washington Post breaks down how some lawmakers are trying to repeal it and take back Congress' war powers.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roman Hayda, MD speaks with Sam about orthopedic equipment needed in Ukraine for wounds and fracture care and what orthopedic surgeons are seeing. Please go to AUMF.org for more: "American Ukrainian Medical Foundation AUMF, in cooperation with UMANA - Ukrainian Medical Association of North America, and Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF), is working on obtaining surgical equipment for the management of complex extremity injuries from the war in Ukraine: external fixators and negative pressure wound care (wound VAC). 1. Surgical sets for external fixation of extremity fractures (new or used*), 2. Steinman pins (4, 5, and 6 mm), 3. Devices for negative pressure wound care (wound VAC), 4. Disposable materials for wound VAC (sponges, tubing, and occlusive adhesive dressing). There are four areas where you can help: 1. Equipment (companies manufacturers, hospitals, and individual orthopedic surgeons) 2. Logistics from the US to Ukraine 3. Funding: bit.ly/AUMF2 4. Contacts to obtain the above How will the funds be used: 1. Purchase of the equipment 2. Shipment to Ukraine * Currently, AUMF can only ship new equipment. We do not have a capability to handle used equipment. However, we can get you in contact with orthopedic surgeons in Ukraine to discuss their needs."

Saturday marked the nineteenth anniversary of the beginning of the second Iraq War—a war Congress never formally declared. Instead, just like with America's invasion of Afghanistan, Congress passed an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). Together, these AUMFs provide the legal basis for the ongoing war on terror and have been loosely interpreted by every president since 2001 to authorize military action anywhere with little to no Congressional oversight. Though these AUMFs remain on the books today, the past year has seen a push by lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to reclaim Congress's role in matters of war and peace—an issue that extends beyond America's post 9/11 wars. Questions of Congressional oversight remain pertinent as the United States debates how to respond to Russia's war in Ukraine.    This week, we're revisiting our season two conversation with ​​Heather Brandon Smith and Rita Siemion, both experts on AUMFs and advocates for their repeal. They discuss the history of these AUMFs, prospects for reform under the Biden administration, and why repealing them is necessary to end America's post-9/11 wars. 

There are only hard choices left now. Not just for Ukraine. But for everyone who cares about freedom, liberty and humanity. President Zelensky and the people of #Ukraine are crying out for a no-fly zone. But the US government and NATO are giving them the stiff-arm. While Putin continues to slaughter civilians and commit war crimes.  The time for talk is over. And our guest in this episode is a man of action. A combat-tested pilot. A political dog fighter. And a political Maverick. He's back. He's Congressman Adam Kinzinger (@AdamKinzinger).  The 43-year-old Illinois Republican Congressman, Air Force combat veteran, political maverick, and fighter of the good fight is the man of this moment in American politics. He's catapulted to the forefront of America's consciousness in the last few months as one of only two republicans on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. He's taking shots from all sides–and he's fighting back. And he's back for another no-holds-barred, fast-paced, no-BS conversation with Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) about the latest out of Ukraine.  -Are we already at war with Russia?  -Will he vote to declare war on Russia? -Why does he support a no-fly zone? What other options are there? -Can Biden move fast enough to meet this threat? Can America? Is this the latest sign of American decline? -American Vets are now in the fight. What will the Department of Defense do about them? -Months later, is Afghanistan now Forgotistan? Will anyone ever be held accountable? -WTF is up with the MiG fighter planes to Poland?  -NOW will he leave the Republican Party? We're flying hard and fast through all of it. And we're keeping no rounds saved. It's gut check time for America–and the world. Will we REALLY #StandWithUkraine️? Will America FIGHT alongside Ukraine?

Episode Notes A romp through the memory-holed times following 9/11 and the American war machine on auto-pilot. The American Service Members Protection Act is a direct refutation of the UN's institution of the International Criminal Court. This 2002 Bill sponsored by Jesse Helms in the Senate and Tom DeLay in the House authorized the President to send forces to invade the Hague in the Netherlands if any American is brought before the ICC for war crimes. We also discuss the end of one specific AUMF, the one for Iraq. The Biden Administration has signaled their approval of the repeal because "...repeal of the 2002 AUMF would likely have minimal impact on current military operations."

I recognize posting this will bring us spam and I dare you to do it. Phil and Kyle would also like to give a shout out to those of us still in the streets fighting for the rights of Palestinians and those fighting for justice and abolition of the American police state. The best way to show solidarity with those struggling against the American empire is to struggle against the empire at home. https://free-palestine.carrd.co/#donations https://www.phillybailfund.org/ https://bailproject.org/

On this episode of C-SPAN Radio's The Weekly Podcast….the battle over the AUMF…the Authorization of the Use of Military Force.  Congress passed it in 2002…nearly 20 years ago…after 9/11. How is it still used? And how do the different branches play into its continued authority?  We talk with John Glaser, Director of Foreign Studies at CATO, and Elizabeth Saunders, Professor in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Both offer differing opinions on the next steps.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What do Democrats think about foreign policy and national security? The recent democratic debate was stunningly superficial on foreign policy, yet the most revealing to date. It covered Iran, defense spending, troops in the Middle East, trade deals, North Korea, and China (sort of).

Happy Thanksgiving Week! I'm thankful for you, my awesome listeners, but I'm also thankful for so much more. What's in the News with stories on Bill Weld, debtors prison, fake news news, big brother, Sessions being sued, AUMF, busted for hibiscus, victimless crimes, and libertarian charity. And, and Ancap Apps segment on the best VPN service I've ever used! WHAT'S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES It's Thanksgiving week in the United States, and I realized while trying to decide what I was going to talk about in this segment that this segment is usually very negative in nature. So, today, I wanted to do something a bit differently. With all of the bullshit going on in the world, it is always healthy to take a step back and realize that we still have a lot to be thankful for. And I am so fortunate to have tons to be thankful for, and I want to share that with you today. WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In O.G. Libertarian news, Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee, Bill Weld, acts like he's still bullish for the LP just shortly after helping raise tons of money for Republicans in Massachusetts. And, of course, overly pragmatic Reason Magazine is eating up the horse shit he feeds them.  In debtors prison news, a Colorado Springs woman who has a newborn child was jailed for 27 days because she couldn't pay an unrelated pretrial court processing fee of $55 despite a judge's order that she be released on her own recognizance, a civil lawsuit says. In debtors prison news, a Colorado Springs woman who has a newborn child was jailed for 27 days because she couldn't pay an unrelated pretrial court processing fee of $55 despite a judge's order that she be released on her own recognizance, a civil lawsuit says. In big brother news, The House Judiciary Committee has approved (27 to 8) the USA Liberty Act, which reforms as it reauthorizes Sec. 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which authorizes the surveillance of communications from non-U.S. residents. Next stop is a vote on the House floor. The US Senate proposed a similar USA Liberty Act as well. Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) introduced the Liberty Act bill which will reauthorize the controversial Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This gives US intelligence agencies permission to spy on and store internet metadata and communications of foreign people living outside the US, along with communications of US citizens which get “swept up” in the data collection In cannabis news, a 12-year-old girl in Colorado is suing Attorney General Jeff Sessions over what the lawsuit claims is an unconstitutional federal prohibition on medical marijuana. Alexis Bortell, who uses a strain of cannabis oil called Haleigh's Hope to keep seizures at bay, said that she hopes the lawsuit will at least normalize medical marijuana. Her best hope, she said, is that it will legalize it nationwide. In war is hell news, in a rare exercise of its war-making role, the House of Representatives on Monday overwhelmingly passed a resolution explicitly stating that U.S. military assistance to Saudi Arabia in its war in Yemen is not authorized under legislation passed by Congress to fight terrorism or invade Iraq. In not-cannabis news, Audrey and Edward Cramer, of Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania, were reported to police by their Nationwide insurance agent for allegedly having marijuana plants on their property. The couple says that on Sept. 20 police stormed their house, harassed them, took their plants and arrested them, while Audrey Cramer was still in her underwear. The problem for police is that the plants they confiscated were Kenaf hibiscus plants, not marijuana. In even more victimless crime news, a single mother of 6 from the notoriously poor city of Stockton, California recently made headlines after selling an undercover agent… a $12 plate of ceviche, Mexican food. In Pax Libertas Productions news, I have a huge favor to ask of you guys. Brian McQuade, the host of Resist the Empire, and I are trying to raise $1,000 for the charity Starlight Children's Foundation, and we could use your help!  ANCAP APPS For years I've recommended Private Internet Access to people who wanted a private VPN service to protect their data and traffic on the internet. PIA is a good service, and I used it for many years, but I have found one that is even better and offers better privacy and services.  NordVPN is a VPN service that has all of the features of PIA, plus many more. First, you can pay for NordVPN using Bitcoin for some added protection of your privacy.  PIA allowed for this also, so this is a plus. Some of the features of NordVPN are just awesome though.
