No country was mentioned. Neither was Al Queda. That's not the point. The point is we have officially been in a state of war since Sept of 2001 when Congress authorized it.
"Which is still in effect".
China and Russia are not part of this "war" and any aid given them is to a geopolitcal rival not a declared enemy. Therefore there can be NO treason.
Treason is a high bar.
I am NO special pleader for China. Nixon was wrong to pursue detante and Clinton was wrong to give them MFN status If we could blast them back to the stone age and suffer no consequences I would approve of it. I was all for rebuilding SEATO and making Taiwan a member. Heck I would give Taiwan nukes.
Below is the AUMF.
AQ is implied as well as the Taliban. Maybe Biden can be charged since he left them billions in equipment.
