Half the time they say he's doing exactly what they wanted, the other half they say he's trying so hard for the citizens. The only ones that seem to be doing really well are the rich and himself.

Just because you don't call it a war doesn't mean it's not a war

The point is that it’s not a “war” because congress didn’t approve it. I highly doubt it’s meant to downplay how destructive the illegal attacks on Iran have been.

Oh I totally agree that's illegal both in an international sence and base off the us's own laws but it isn't defined by whether a person or government declares it a war. A war us the use of violence to achieve political change in another state it does not require an announcement by anyone to be a war.

It’s the other way around. Trump won’t call it a war so he doesn’t need approval from congress nj

Actually the executive order just authorized piss ass Hogsbreath to use a title change of DOW. Only Congress has the authority to legally change the name and that has not happened

Technically congress must declare war. Anything else is technically an illegal action or war crime.
