Was there a declaration of war?
That would require congress. King Obama does not need congressional approval.

In 2012, Putin had only recently returned to power; we were not yet sure he stole his own election; Russia was not stirring up trouble in the Ukraine or meddling in our election, and most of us were still remembering Palin saying she would keep an eye on Putin if he reared his head over her back porch. Minor details. I know.
About what was in those documents. Neither Hillary or the democrats are denying the accuracy. Go figure!
No. Not really. That he didn't arrange support enough to get rid of Assad immediately was his failure.
Nope. Selling or giving arms is not a war crime by any definition other than yours.
The point went zooming right over your head.. Didn't it?
N. Korea nor N. Vietnam would have attacked south without Russian equipment, support and in the case of Korea troops(pilots). Yet we did NOTHING to the Russians because we couldn't. GOP nor Dem prez didn't do a thing.
And with Putin it is no different. We are very limited. Besides arming the Afghans( BTW is that a war crime?) Reagan didn't do a GD thing when there were Russian troops in Afghanistan. It's fun to sit safely behind our keyboards and say Obama should do this, or that to the Russians because we have no responsibility. So we can act like tough guys here. But the reality is since 1949 we've had to walk carefully when dealing with the Russians because of their nukes.
Yeah...that's the war crimes I'm talking about, arming extremists. Only the ill-informed thinks getting rid of Assad is better for our national security.
Need there be? The civil oder had receded and the dictator's sons were promising to kill all resistance.
Yes, yes, yes... They were killing terrorists.
Good for them!
Ah! You are one of those guys that support mass murderers like Assad that have tortured thousands do. days, weeks and months till the were dead? I don't think that is acceptable.
Oh...you're one of those that:
1. Think that it's our responsibility to fix these problems in other countries.
2. Don't understand that this isn't the reason why were are there or we wouldn't be buddies with China or Saudi Arabia or Turkey or...
3. Think it's better to support Islamic extremists over someone more comparatively moderate.
and here's the big one.
4. Believe the lies being feed to you about he situation in Syria.
Terrorist äs holding up posters? Asking the dictator abdicate? The regime stop torture and hand over the tortured to death? Horrible terrorists those mothers and students!!!
You do know that those 'arguments' are rather disingenuous? They are fine for populist sniveling, but are totally embarrassing if brought up in intelligent debate.
Testimony from victims strongly suggests it was the rebels, not the Syrian government, that used Sarin nerve gas during a recent incident in the revolution-wracked nation, a senior U.N. diplomat said Monday.
Carla del Ponte, a member of the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria, told Swiss TV there were “strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof,” that rebels seeking to oust Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad had used the nerve agent.
But she said her panel had not yet seen any evidence of Syrian government forces using chemical weapons, according to the BBC, but she added that more investigation was needed.
Hmmm...no. They are all spot on and irrefutable.
Did Assad gas his people? Seems like it probably wasn't him, but you wouldn't know that, would you, because you get your propagand...I mean information spoon-fed to you.

Unfortunately for you, you are way out of your element here and accusations of not having an intelligent position falls flat.
"Indisputable "? You sound like Dr Merkel's 'alternativlos' that she gave up under ridicule.

17 intelligence agencies already did so, there's a reason putin didn't have the RNC hacked obviously
But the EC interfered in the election even more regardless

Looks like Russia is putting the screws to the Obama bull**** claims system of doing business. I find that amusing as hell.
Are you implying that being Prime Minister of Russia from 2008-2012, Putin wasn't in power? Here is a hint for you. Add the letters 'Ras' to the beginning of the name Putin. Think about that little trivia.
He wasn't the all-powerful Putin we know of today with his sights on the Ukraine. Now, if you want to argue that we were off on our intelligence regarding his schemes, I'll agree. But, then you better be prepared for the attack which says Trump is a clueless dodo regarding it, has fallen for Putin's faux praises, and is a sitting duck for his real goal, which is to take back the Ukraine and have more influence on Eastern Europe.
Now, is all that a worthwhile trade to establish with us a solid EurAsian ally to fight Chinese expansionist plans and the Islamist radicalization of more and more countries? Perhaps. But, then be honest and say, "I do not give a **** about Europe; I just want a strong ally with whom to contain China and Islam."
Putin was well in charge whether he was President or Prime Minister, which he was one or the other since the 1990's, unless you have some proof that his power was diminished. You have already decided the relationship that is going to exist based on public posturing. To draw a parallel: Trump will have more "flexibility" once he takes office.
Huh? Arming war criminals is a war crime all in itself.
