WW2 was the last declaration of war by the US<a href=\"#R02\">[2]<\/a>.<br \/>\nFor example it required Perl Harbor to be attacked by Japan (severely) to justify<br \/>\na war declaration against them besides Germany and Italy<a href=\"#R04\">[4]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The congressional paper<a href=\"#R02\">[2]<\/a> lists activities of war w\/o such declaration.<\/p>\n<p>Members of congress<a href=\"#R06\">[6]<\/a> ask for a constitutional declaration of war,<br \/>\neven mainstream intelligence agencies<a href=\"#R05\">[5]<\/a> favor such legal practice.<\/p>\n<p>The declaration would allow US citizens and world public to see it&#8217;s<br \/>\nobjectives, justification and feedback would be possible,<br \/>\nhence democratic rights could be exercised.<br \/>\nSuch constitutional process would disable the US and it&#8217;s allies<br \/>\nto partake in covert proxy war activities<a href=\"#R07\">[7]<\/a><a href=\"#R08\">[8]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Development in Syria makes clear that the so called &#8216;opposition forces&#8217; (FSF)<br \/>\nare supported not only w\/ weapons but fighters by Qatar and Saudi Arabia<a href=\"#R09\">[9]<\/a><a href=\"#R10\">[10]<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe latter is calling for &#8216;more&#8217; help from the west<a href=\"#R11\">[11]<\/a> to support the FSF.<\/p>\n<p>The Syrian development might bring some clues to what happened in Libya&#8217;s Benghazi<a href=\"#R12\">[12]<\/a><br \/>\ninvolving the killing of US diplomat Stevens and Mr. Petraeus quitting his job as CIA head<br \/>\nbefore his Benghazi hearing<a href=\"#R13\">[13]<\/a>. It is at least rumored, that<br \/>\nLibya&#8217;s weapons were moved to Syria to support the FSF from diplomat Steven&#8217;s &#8216;post&#8217;.<br \/>\nThe theory here is that the US is involved in a proxy war,<br \/>\nhence a &#8216;public&#8217; military defense of Mr Steven&#8217;s post against the &#8216;Libya rebels&#8217;<br \/>\nand a later investigation could not be made public.<\/p>\n<h4>Germany, Europe, US and NATO<\/h4>\n<p>Back to 1999, where Germany participated in military actions outside of Germany<br \/>\nfor the first time after WW2 without a declaration of war<br \/>\nbut a NATO decision based on UN Resolution 1199<a href=\"#R14\">[14]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These action lead to the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia<a href=\"#R15\">[15]<\/a><br \/>\nwhich motives are seriously questioned<a href=\"#R16\">[16]<\/a>.<br \/>\nIt is claimed that instead of altruism and humanitarian help,<br \/>\nthe sole purpose of the war was to &#8216;line-up&#8217; Yugoslavia to follow our leads<a href=\"#R16\">[16]<\/a>.<br \/>\nIt is claimed in the same document, that no genocide of Kosovo-Albanians<br \/>\nhas happened before the KLA has provoked the Serbs with attacks just to receive<br \/>\nthe Serbian response which in turn will pull &#8216;the west&#8217; into the conflict<a href=\"#R16\">[16]<\/a><a href=\"#R17\">[17]<\/a><a href=\"#R18\">[18]<\/a>.<br \/>\nThe latter may lead to the desired independent state, which it became<a href=\"#R17\">[17]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>KLA was trained and sponsored<a href=\"#R18\">[18]<\/a> by the usual parties<a href=\"#R19\">[19]<\/a><br \/>\nand hence the thesis claims that the Yugoslavia NATO bombing was justified by just another instigated war by proxy.<\/p>\n<p>+++<\/p>\n<p>Even though above facts and thesis are still disputed,<br \/>\nit allows me as a citizen to raise many concerns when being pulled into a conflict<br \/>\nbased on so called &#8216;humanitarian aid&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Such &#8216;humanitarian aid&#8217;, provided by military pretty much often results in killings,<br \/>\nsince this is the purpose of using weapons on site. Forgive me for stating the obvious.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the people cannot be bothered with the true motives<br \/>\nand that governments won&#8217;t dare to disclose their intentions.<br \/>\nBoth would be required in a democratic and constitutional declaration of war.<\/p>\n<p>+++<\/p>\n<p>Originally Germany&#8217;s constitution (Art. 87a) constraints<br \/>\nher military role to be strictly defensive only.<br \/>\nHowever, in 1994 this was reinterpreted to allow defending Germany even at the &#8216;Hindu Kush&#8217;<a href=\"#R20\">[20]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Such change in spirit is aligned w\/ the new NATO doctrine<br \/>\nwhich changed since the cold war era from defending ourselves from communism<br \/>\nto secure essential resources<a href=\"#R21\">[21]<\/a> in the world<a href=\"#R22\">[22]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Without that change of Germany&#8217;s defense interpretation,<br \/>\nshe would not be able to comply w\/ her role in Europe and NATO anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the mentioned NATO bombing of Yugoslavia,<br \/>\nit seems that Germany is quite active since then<a href=\"#R23\">[23]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Germany isn&#8217;t even shy of the acquisition of questionable new customers<br \/>\nfor her weapons<a href=\"#R24\">[24]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Germany is not only selling and subsidizing submarines to Israel<a href=\"#R25\">[25]<\/a>,<br \/>\nbut also installing same submarines with nuclear missile launching capabilities<a href=\"#R26\">[26]<\/a>.<br \/>\nThis is not simply &#8216;your usual&#8217; weapons sales operation,<br \/>\nbut making Germany an accessory<a href=\"#R27\">[27]<\/a> of Israel&#8217;s foreign policy<a href=\"#R28\">[28]<\/a><br \/>\nwhile violating the &#8216;Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty&#8217;<a href=\"#R29\">[28]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of nuclear missiles on submarines usually is to<br \/>\nresponse a devastating nuclear 1st strike, or being able to execute one.<br \/>\nHence the reference to the &#8216;Samson Option&#8217;<a href=\"#R30\">[30]<\/a> in articles<a href=\"#R27\">[27]<\/a><a href=\"#R28\">[28]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t call me an anti-Semite now<a href=\"#R31\">[31]<\/a> for criticizing German and Israel policies.<\/p>\n<h4>Today<\/h4>\n<p>After Turkey received some &#8216;fire&#8217; from the Syrian border<a href=\"#R32\">[32]<\/a>, Germany and Netherlands<br \/>\nsent anti missile weapons incl. troops to aide Turkey under the terms of NATO<a href=\"#R33\">[33]<\/a><a href=\"#R34\">[34]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This action already pulls European NATO countries into the Syrian conflict,<br \/>\nsince nobody could really claim that Turkey is under a serious threat from Syria.<br \/>\nTurkey&#8217;s motives in regards to the Syrian conflicts might be quite complicated<br \/>\nand not so straight forward<a href=\"#R35\">[35]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now the European Union prepares to get even further involved by directly aiding the<br \/>\nSyrian &#8216;opposition fighters&#8217; (FSF) with military training<a href=\"#R36\">[36]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Who has asked us the people of Europe to get involved in just another war?<\/p>\n<p>Due to the lack of information, we the people cannot justify what is<br \/>\ngoing on in Syria, nor whether we shall get involved.<\/p>\n<p>Events reflected by this article may raise enough concerns<br \/>\nfor having a second thought.<\/p>\n<p>It is highly unlikely that &#8216;the west&#8217; has not enough information<br \/>\nfor a well reasoned and justified decision,<br \/>\ntaking all our surveillance technology and<br \/>\nmilitary recon capabilities into account.<\/p>\n<p>Participation in a war shall not be performed<br \/>\nby circumventing the people, our democratic process.<br \/>\nWe need a &#8216;declaration of war&#8217; before getting involved.<br \/>\nWe need to ask the people first before putting a strain on all our conscience.<\/p>\n<p>See &#8216;Summary&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Sven
