And what was the vietnam war? Congress never declared war there either and yet it went on for years.
POTUS is commander in chief and has executive authority to take immediate action in the interests of national security.
If you want to hang him, then hang him for the actual unconstitutional crap he has done. And there is a lot of it.
But our national security was not under immanent threat from Iran.
Was it under imminent threat from vietnam?
I would suggest that Iran's nuclear program is an imminent threat to everyone's national security.
Isn’t everyone’s nuclear arsenal a threat to global security?
It is. We made a terrible mistake after the end of the Cold War in allowing nuclear proliferation to... proliferate. North Korea and Pakistan are the big ones. There's no walking back now. They have them, and it changes things. Weirdo North Korea and unstable Pakistan are not countries we want with nukes. Regarding Iran, the world has spent twenty years encouraging Iran to keep things at the civilian level. Which would have been fine for everyone. Nothing wrong with nuclear energy.
But Iran went full on with enrichment to near weapons grade and they have a very advanced ballistic missile system. I don't like Trump, but he did the world a favor here. It's one thing if France or the UK or even Israel has nukes - stable democratic countries who would never use them in any kind of offensive capacity. It's an all together different thing with Iran - a repressive police state ruled by an 86 year old religious zealot with dreams of martyrdom. From Tel Aviv to Riyadh, the entire Middle East would face obliteration with an Iran with nukes. It's important to remember that Iran's issues are not just with Israel. But with the entire Sunni world.
Good for Trump for not being a TACO here. The entire planet is happy with this.
