I don’t think Congress has declared war since Vietnam. Everything since has been at the presidents whim and been termed a conflict, police action or some other euphemism.
That depends on whether you are using the colloquial and international law definition, or the US formal definition. It’s only a war if Congress declares it, else it’s just a sparkling police action.
Except this isn’t a war, congress hasn’t
declaredauthorized it. This headline is shit and normalizing trump going full fucking hitler.“If we don’t label it, it’s not what it is!”
That’s not the point. He is officially a dictator by doing this.
Officially? Officiated by who? Obama was also officially a dictator then?
I think they want Trump to be aberrational and are trying to work backward from there. Just BlueMaga things.
LMAO, blue maga? Dude, you’re comment is insane. What does that even mean?
By that logic every president since Roosevelt was a dictator.
Fair enough and my bad, I misread your comment.

Since World War II, actually.
You’re right, congress hasn’t authorized it:
Captain America, things ain’t like they used to be like before you was froze.
war powers act needs to go.
War is determined by actions, not by Congress.
That being said, this isn’t war yet.
That depends on whether you are using the colloquial and international law definition, or the US formal definition. It’s only a war if Congress declares it, else it’s just a sparkling police action.
Congress in the US has to authorize war.
You should be looking at the dictionary, not Wikipedia for the definition of war.
Anyway, it’s not like Trump obeys laws anyway, so what Congress authorizes or not will probably not even come into play.
