It will be what it will be, time for the US to stop bending over and funding nuclear development for this nations enemies.

You enlisting to fight where trump was too cowardly?

The POTUS cannot declare war

Duh...So what? It's been done many times.

[Dr. Who]

The POTUS cannot declare war

Well, it's complicated.

The War Powers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without a Congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States. The resolution was passed by two-thirds of Congress, overriding the veto of the bill from President Nixon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution

This begs the question of how much warfare could be waged in 48 hours or even 60-90 days without a formal declaration of war. Constitutional debates about the War Powers Resolution abound.

I understand that, how many recent presidents engaged in "military actions" in lieu of war, and in fairness they were not wars like Iraq of Afghanistan.

No, but it's complicated.

cmon doc youre not dealing with reality you creating scenarios all of which trump is a bad guy.

We are not going to war with iran china or russia. This little fat punk may very well push the issue. Somewhere along the line hes got to be stopped, liberals keep talking about trump said this trump said that.

But they never mention what kim is doing to bring on those reactions
We have a country defying treaties and firing rockets. Hes threatened Japan and the US several times. We are all sitting and watching his capabilities of delivery growing. Soon he will be able to hit the USA. Doing nothing in the longterm isnt looking like an option

Like I said, I am a live in caretaker of a loved one, now piss off and go hump another leg, your impotent patience or lack thereof, matters not, your every post to me (in fairness, most) matters not one little bit...
