Isn't war something that needs to go through congress? On top of that, isn't this an international joint operation between two nations that DEFINITELY would need to go through congress? Doesn't matter? Okay.

    Constitutionally, war should go through congress.

    But we haven't followed the constitution in a very long time, obviously... decades

    that's what makes someone like Trump possible, and here we are.

    But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.
