Letter: VT Libertarians condemn missile strikes into Russia

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Calls for Constitutional Accountability. The Libertarian Party of Vermont condemns the recent strike deep into Russian territory, carried out by Ukraine using U.S.-supplied long-range missiles authorized by President Biden. This decision, made without congressional approval, bypasses the Constitution, which explicitly grants Congress—not the president—the authority to declare war.  These actions escalate a dangerous conflict and undermine the peaceful transition of power to President-elect Donald Trump, who campaigned on prioritizing diplomacy over war. The American people have made clear their desire for de-escalation and peaceful resolutions.  

We call on Democrats, progressives, conservatives, and Republicans to denounce this unconstitutional act of aggression. It is time to unite as a nation in opposition to war and demand adherence to the constitutional limits placed on executive authority.  The Libertarian Party stands firm in advocating for non-aggression and the pursuit of peace through dialogue, not missiles. We urge the Biden administration to cease further provocations and support a diplomatic resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. The Libertarian Party of Vermont is committed to advancing individual liberty, limited government, and a foreign policy of peace and non-intervention.  For additional information or to join our efforts, please contact us at chair@VtLiberty.org. —Olga Maria, Chairwoman of the Vermont Libertarian Party.

  1. I agree, too. Let’s start turning weapons of war into plow shares. War tears apart communities – sends young men and fathers into harms way and leaves crops untended. Where have all the flowers gone? Gone to soldiers everyone – When will we ever learn? Let’s turn some tanks into tractors and let food scarcity issues be passe and men and boys come home without torn limbs and tend their fields, families, and communities.

    War mongers see $ signs and ignore the social costs.

  2. Am I missing something, or is this the Biden administration’s last ditch effort to both attempt to create a completely unnecessary mess for the Trump administration to have to clean up, and to ensure its place in history as the stupidest, most evil, most self-destructive presidential administration in American history?
