No, he can order an attack or strike. He is not declaring war and that is the difference. The talking idiots refer to this as going to war but it is not in the technical sense of the term. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not preceded with a declaration of war on us and if FDR had not gone to congress to ask for a formal war declaration we would not have been at war, just attacked. He could have ordered a counter attack (that was impossible) and not been officially at war. Bush and Reagan, others before him have ordered small incursions that did not require congressional approval and no declaration of war. The fact that in some cases the president has gone to congress for approval was to solidify public and very honestly, congressional support for the actions.
He’s a moron, a dictator, all of the above, but as CinC he can order limited actions without congress.
ALL wisdom including the supreme leaders of Russia, the Catholic Church and 90% of th US population Know this is not a limited action.
Our military has no statement saying that this is a sensible action.
The SOS is ridiculously incoherent about the purpose of this action
So, no. This isn’t some fender bender where sleazy lawyers can come along with a lot of legal fencing in
No sale
Anyone who believes that bombing someone is limited is not thinking. There is always a chance of retaliation. In this case the retaliation does not have a Geneva Convention limit, as these guys don’t think about the GC . Our civilians, in addition to our precious military is at risk in such a case
And that’s any case.
This is seen by the world’s leaders as aggression I see it as aggression.
The president simply does not have the authority to act aggressively, so you might as well forget it
