A dangerous moment is unfolding in Washington. President Trump’s declaration that a U.S. land attack on Venezuela could begin “very soon” threatens to drag our nation into yet another reckless, unauthorized war. But a bipartisan group of senators — Democrats Chuck Schumer, Tim Kaine, Adam Schiff, and Republican Rand Paul — has taken a critical stand by introducing a War Powers Resolution to block any unilateral strike. As Senator Paul rightly stated, the American people do not want to be pulled into endless conflict without debate, transparency, or a constitutional vote. Our founders demanded deliberation before war for a reason: lives, stability, and our democratic integrity are at stake.
Meanwhile, Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro has confirmed a respectful, even cordial, phone conversation with President Trump just days ago — a rare diplomatic opening that should be nurtured, not undermined by threats of invasion. If dialogue is possible, diplomacy must take precedence over bombs.
Congress must act decisively. The United States cannot afford another catastrophic intervention. Upholding the Constitution, embracing diplomacy, and preventing needless bloodshed is not just wise policy — it is a moral imperative.
