Are Plots From One Country To Assassinate Another Country's Leaders An Act Of War?

Because he doesn't need to.

Doesn’t the Constitution reserve the power to Congress to declare war?

Or does that not matter to out of work ex moderators?

 

[Independent thinker]

So why isn’t the blob asking Congress to declare war on Iran?

Because, as even you admit, we have already been at war.

You yourself said we have already been at war.

Iran declared war on us 47 years ago, nimrod. Trump has finally agreed to their terms.

And little traitor you don't like it.

Sucks to be you.

 

[Darkwind]

So we are are war then?

No.

 

[candycorn]

So, you are admitting that we have already been at war. Why ask for a declaration of war against a country we have already been at war with? Sounds kind of stupid to me.

Well, we’re a nation of laws... I’m sure that sounds sort of stupid to you.

A declared war guarantees proper care for wounded or captured American soldiers, rules of conduct on the battlefield, etc....

Since you’re clearly not willing to enlist and put your ass on the line in fighting in the Middle East and are safe behind your keyboard...you really don’t give a flying **** about what happens to soldiers once they are captured or wounded....right?

 

[candycorn]

No.

Independent thinker says we are.

Which MAGA nutjob do I believe at this point?

It has nothing to do with it. How well did the NAZIs and Japanese abide by the Geneva convention. The congress can only declare war and only the president can make war and he needs no permission for 60 days. Thats the war powers act

Yet you lefties ignore them all the time.

Funny how all of a sudden you care when the other side follows your lead.

Sucks to be you.

When another country has arleady declared war against us, why is it necessary for us to declare war against them?

GFY clown.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Why aren't you supporting the liberal western values of your own country?

For that matter, why has the left in this country devolved to the point that it is simply just one giant expression of arrested development?

The Iranians have been committing war crimes from day one.

They don't honor the rules of war you effing clod.

 

[candycorn]

The Iranians have been committing war crimes from day one.

As have we in installing the Shah.

They don't honor the rules of war you effing clod.

Apparently neither do we since we’re not going through Congress to declare war.

Why do you hate the Constitution so much?

 

[Darkwind]

Independent thinker says we are.

Ennie minnie minie moe?

No one cares what you believe.

Independent thinker is talking about the state of relations between our two countries. Iran has been able to attack us with impunity for 47 years. That can be considered both a hot and a cold war.

What we are doing right now is not by any definition of the word, War. It is violent, but it is very targeted with a focused goal of replacing the Authoritarian Theocracy. We are not demanding any land or other assets. At least, not until the dollar totals are added up at the end. That will be paid in one of many ways. Oil and a peaceful Iran.

A peaceful Iran pays dividends in perpetuity.

Yeah, installing a government is a "war crime" sheesh you're stupid. Read about the British actions in the middle east post WWI.

If you want to blame someone, blame them.

 

[my2¢]

I went with yes, but I'd put it in terms in justification of a limited retaliatory action against that nation's leader.

Iran already declared the war.

Let me pose a question to you.

Let's say for the sake of argument that the whole world is at peace, but we have our usual enemies, one being Russia, but that we aren't "at war" with them. Putin decides to pre-emptively nuke Congress when it is in session while our president was lucky enough to be away from DC. Since Congress has been nuked, wouldn't you want the president to defend us, even though we can't get a vaporized Congress to declare war on Russia? Isn't Russia's act a clear act of war and we don't need to wait for a new Congress to declare war against them?
