‘Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) also rejected Rubio’s rationale for launching military strikes without authorization from Congress. The secretary of state suggested a day prior that the U.S. had to act because it feared U.S. troops would have been targeted if Israel launched missile strikes against Iran alone, comments he attempted to walk back on Tuesday.
“It clearly was not an imminent threat,” Kaine said on Tuesday. “I do not believe this got anywhere near that the U.S. was facing an imminent threat, the term has traditionally been used when talking about military actions.”
“That’s not imminence under any legal definition I’m aware of. That’s outsourcing the starting of a U.S. war to another nation,” he said.’
