Iran’s top diplomat warned Sunday that the U.S. attacks on its nuclear sites “will have everlasting consequences” and that Tehran “reserves all options” to retaliate.
The intelligence agencies contradicted that narrative. The administration hasn’t made a case that it is actually happening, but have just declared it so.
Very much rhymes with declaration that Iraq had WMDs.
As far as evidence goes, it looks like Trump has dragged us into another conflict that we really shouldn’t be in. Which is dissapointing as if there was one small silver lining about Trump was that his rhetoric used to be that we shouldn’t be wasting military resources in middle east conflicts so much.
It’s more complicated than it should be, only Congress can declare we are at war, however over the past 200 years they have passed laws allowing the president to do things before that vote out of a sense of being flexible and Congress being slow , and keep allowing more and more things, I think currently the president can do almost anything with the military so long as Congress leaders are told and they then can vote to stop it, instead of voting to approve it.
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE,” posts the man who just led us into war.
I guess many will disagree but what’s wrong about bombing nuclear sites in countries trying to develop nukes?

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
