Ships and tankers have turned off their transponders while navigating thru the strait of hormuz
For the U.S.A. this does matter, a little bit of pain in the economy for long term gain is worth taking head of the snake off with a shovel blade
He said it.
Well, he also mentions Rubio so, 4 people.
Do you all just parrot the latest talking points by the admin on FOX?
That shit is pathetic.
I donāt really put a lot of weight on what Trump says, even about himself.
Heās so incoherent and just throws thoughts out without much thinking.
Tomorrow it was 6 people, or 28, or maybe he made the decision alone.
Thatās why I asked how it goes by the law. Who can start a war? It canāt be just one individual, can it? Youāre not Russia.

Trump ordered the strikes, Congress didnāt declare war or authorize the military action, the War Powers resolution failed, so Trump continues to do what he wants.
Yeah. The analyst I read a report from estimated something like a 17% drop. Not enough to bring them to a grinding halt but certainly enough to effect cost and downstream economic impacts, which plays back in to economic diplomacy.
But thereās still strikes going on. Can POTUS just do that kind of stuff? Thatās kinda fucked up.
No.
There is a powerful cabal, but it isnāt just jews.
Yes, I want pedophiles and corrupt pieces of shit targeted and destroyed. Otherwise, I just want government to fuck off and leave me alone.
Yes, a little bit of pain in an economy already $39 trillion in debt. Hey, lets do another war and drive that up some more! It is only just $1 billion a day - no biggie.
Hey why not some more billions for Israel too while we are at it.

Hey clownā¦no president has declared war since 1942

The
War Powers Resolution of 1973 (often called the War Powers Act) is a federal law restricting the U.S. Presidentās power to commit armed forces into hostilities without Congressional approval. Enacted over President Nixonās veto following the Vietnam War, it requires notification within 48 hours and limits troop deployment to 60 days without statutory authorization or declaration of war

And whatās the situation with current conflict?
They are 11 days into the conflict. They are not yet to 60 days.
Yeah. Just figured that out. So the war needs to end before that. Letās see how things develop. Iran seems ready to go on a while, at least rhetorically.
I need to add that it still bothers me. One person can do such a decision.
If the USA had to wait for Congress to start any military action, that is a significant advantage to the enemy.
The USA has the largest weapon that the President has sole authority to initiate its use. The Nuclear Football. Just how ridiculous it would be to give that to Congress. Time would be at a premium. A quick decision is the treat of mutual destruction that makes it fearsome to the enemies of the USA. The USA could be victim to a couple waves of nuclear attacks before Congress would acknowledge a true danger had happened.

I understand the case with nukes and with defensive wars (I suspect POTUS donāt even need to lift a finger if USA would be assaulted, there are procedures for that in every country).
But for invasions and War of Agression itās more tricky.
That is a great way to look at our nationās finances. Do you work for Congress?

The war powers act has never been ruled to even be constitutional, has it?
