On FPF #252, I discuss how to fight war in Congress. Two different methods have been proposed to end wars, passing a more restrictive AUMF or by invoking the War Powers Act. I argue the War Powers Act method is more effective.  I also break down an article by Turkey's President on how to fix the UN.  Links <a href= "https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/26/how-to-fix-the-u-n-and-why-we-should/"> Erdogan on the UN</a> <a style="color: #0000ff;" href= "https://www.justsecurity.org/60861/aumf-solution-endless-war/">Why an AUMF is an ineffective method to end a war</a>

Foreign Policy Focus is a podcast hosted by me, Kyle! It covers current events overseas and how those events affect you at home. While US military operations in the Middle East seem like they are on the other side of the world, they have real impacts on the everyday lives of Americans. Wars are the most costly of all US government actions and politicians use them to strip away rights of Americans. Knowing what your government is doing around the globe will give you insight into what they are doing at home.
