    I read a post that said he couldn’t go to war without a vote from congress, was that wrong?

    Edit: I’m not a US citizen so I’m not sure

    The constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to formally declare war.

    That said, Congress hasn't declared war since 1942, yet we've obviously taken part in many wars since then.

    Sadly there just hasn't been enough Congressional support to retaliate against a president for jumping to military action without authorization. And it doesn't help that the average American doesn't know that the president is not allowed to just deploy troops at will (in most cases, Iran included).

    They may try.

    There would be more than just the US and Israel bombing them if that happened, you just don't fuck with international trade.

    Who's going to back up Iran though? Maybe the houthis, but they barely count.

    That'll teach the Democrats for not embracing socialism.

    Now, when a terrorist attack occurs, he's fully justified in declaring martial law.

    It's as good as over, folks. Checkmate.

    Closeted men of war preaching about peace. Closeted gays fighting against gay rights. Judgemental/greedy/racist religious people putting themselves on a pedestal about how you should "take care of thy neighbor".

    It's always the ones who preach the most, the same ones doing the exact opposite of what they preach. Always the ones bitching about the bad in the world actively hard at work making the world a shittier place.

    Seriously, if Trump says the sky is blue I'll immediately look up just to check if it hasn't turned red/green/pink/whatever.

    Be always wary of the ones telling you how to live, and watch out for their actions closely. There's no hate like the 'love' of these hypocrites.

    You know, the first two were enough for the world.

    I guess we've lived long enough to see ourselves become the villain.

    Can someone help me out here. How do they know that these sites are being used for nuclear weapons production specifically?

    Iran does have a nuclear power plant and they do enrich their own uranium. Not trying to justify these bombings, I'm just curious on how they determined these sites are specifically for weapon manufacturing.

    Remember when Iraq had weapons of mass destruction?

    Same thing.

    So total bullshit with zero evidence, cool. Just felt I was missing something as they kept calling them nuclear sites without specifying what they believed the sites were being used for.

    Thanks for confirming

    Officially we'll only be able to call that afterwards, during the cold war ww3 also almost begun. We should still try stop and prevent it, no matter how difficult it to argue it hasn't begun yet.

    Not defending any of this but these WW3 comments are so weird. The US has been in so many wars in the Middle East, why would this specific one turn into a world war? Especially since there will not be boots on the ground (you never know with trump but I think that’s genuinely the last thing he wants to do).
