If it’s true that we’re on the brink of major escalations and a possible nuclear exchange, then it has to be said that our United States Congressmen have been the worst statesmen and stewards of the 21st century. They have refused to reclaim their war powers and have never taken their oversight power seriously. That will be their legacy.And some words must be said about my own state of Montana, where delegation after delegation, Republicans, Democrats, and apparently even the “Independent” candidates, advocate for modernization of the land-based leg of the nuclear triad, knowing full well that the “nuclear sponge” puts a target on the back of every Montanan. If we truly are close to a country launching a preemptive strike in today’s nuclear age, they are failing at their single purpose by not sounding the alarm and telling every Montanan about the risk they were opted into without a choice. But none of our Congressmen will ever tell you that. Because they do not represent you.
