Good morning, and welcome to Talking Europe for January 3, 2020. Thank you for the shares and forwards on my last post — and welcome to those who have subscribed this week! I wanted to share my thoughts in the wake of the assassination in Baghdad by an American drone of the Iranian General Suleimani. The assassination represents, according to experts on the Middle East, an escalation in the contest for power in the region between the U.S. and Iran and could portend a major new shooting war between the two countries. As the killing was ordered by the president alone without any involvement of the Congress, it put me in mind of the long debate over war powers in American history.
