war powers act makes it COMPLETELY legal.
The truth is, yeah, it is an "illegal," war, just like all the wars the DNC has started.
There is no clear casus belli.
IMO, Trump can get around this by making the claim that it isn't an illegal war. . .
. . . it is an "undocumented," war.

This proves beyond all doubt that democrats are indeed a death cult. And, they will object to anything and everything that Trump does.

John Fetterman being the one exception among senate dems. If Trump saved a child from drowning in the ocean the national dems would accuse Trump of starving sharks.

Democrats Erupt Over Trump’s Iran Strikes
'The dominant reaction from the Left to Trump's bombing of Iran has been to declare the action illegal, reckless, and unconstitutional.'legalinsurrection.com
Shortly after President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iran, the Left locked into a single talking point: illegal war. Reckless. Idiotic. Betrayal. Forever war. Constitutional crisis. Pick your adjective.
The speed and uniformity were almost impressive.
Sen. Tim Kaine led the charge, and he did not ease into it. In a graphic posted to X, Kaine asked whether Trump was “too mentally incapacitated” to understand that the United States once had a diplomatic agreement with Iran. He declared the strikes a “colossal mistake” and demanded the Senate immediately return to vote on his War Powers Resolution to block U.S. forces from hostilities without congressional approval.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris jumped in next, accusing Trump of “dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want” and opposing what she called a “regime-change war in Iran.”
Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.~Snip~
Sen. Elizabeth Warren quickly declared that “Trump’s war against Iran is illegal and a betrayal of the American people,” warning that Congress cannot allow him to drag another generation into a “forever war.”
~Snip~
The through-line is unmistakable. Democratic leadership has settled on a narrative that Trump’s Iran strikes constitute an illegal war, that Congress alone has the exclusive authority to authorize such action, and that this is the opening act of another Middle East quagmire.
That narrative only intensified when New York City Mayor Zoharan Mamdani weighed in. He described the strikes as a “catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression,” accused the United States and Israel of bombing cities and killing civilians, and assured Iranian New Yorkers that they would be safe in his city.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit…~Snip~
Those comments stand out precisely because they are exceptions. The dominant reaction from the Left to Trump’s bombing of Iran has been to declare the action illegal, reckless, and unconstitutional, and to demand immediate congressional intervention through a War Powers Resolution.
Whether Congress will actually move to block continued hostilities remains to be seen. What is certain is that the political war over Trump’s Iran strikes is already in full swing. The words are sharp. The accusations are severe. And if today’s reaction is any indication, the constitutional battle over executive war powers is about to become the next front in America’s ongoing political war.
Commentary:
Democrats would call any new government that is pro western and promotes free enterprise and personal freedoms as corrupt. The left always supports the totalitarian solution particularly is they are hostile to Jews and Christians.
Meanwhile, Democrats never blinked when Obama ordered targeted drone strikes in the Middle East and surrounding regions, which killed four U.S. citizens in Yemen and Pakistan between 2011 and 2015. While only one, Anwar al-Alwaki, was explicitly targeted, the others, including his teenage son, were killed in strikes, causing significant legal and ethical debate over due process.
Democrats say Trump shouldn't be messing with Obama’s legacy – The pallets of cash, the Faux JCPOA all which will made Iran prosperous.
If you hadn't noticed – that explains the Democrats objections. Those are objections are what Democrats truly believe.
Unfortunately, while the current conflict is unfolding in February and March 2026, similar criticisms were leveled against Trump following an earlier round of strikes in June 2025.
Democrats have defunded DHS. Add Islamic nuclear terrorists to illegal aliens, criminals and transgender killers to the list of groups Democrats prioritize over Americans. Not to mention Obama is 100% and presidents before him are responsible for this war.
Obama specifically aided and abetted the Ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions.

Seems to be accurate, according to the NYT:
"Large crowds of Iranians poured into the streets of Tehran and other cities across Iran overnight, celebrating the news that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had been killed during a day of coordinated U.S. and Israeli attacks."

Now 3 Americans are dead because
How many Americans are dead because of Open Borders pushed by Obama, Harris and Biden? You didn’t cry for the victims illegals and now you are simply exploiting the deaths of American soldiers who died in valor taking down a goat-****** theology intent on “death to
America”.
Booker Washington was so right about you people.

And if you really think that Iranians are going to allow themselves to be run by Donald Trump, you are a fool.

Boggles my mind to see Democrats support illegals, criminals, trannies, and dictators in countries like Venezuela and Iran who suppress their people.

The Iranians have been under the thumb of religious zealots for nearly 50 years. Women went from being free, wearing skirts if they choose and consuming Western democratic values to being stoned to death if their husband demanded a second wife or being executed for not covering their face etc.
F that. I despise injustice and I have not even spoken of what they have done to men there let alone the daughters, sisters and wives of these men. We should not tolerate other humans being forced to live like cattle, be it Iran, African or anywhere else.
Do I want to see an American Empire? You are damn right I do. I want to expand this to a "Western Empire" as long as it begins and ends with liberty and blind justice. Dignity of men as G-d commanded. The one concept ALL good men universally will fight and die for, liberty. Weak, evil men will fight only for oppressive controls.
9/11, who did they attack? Innocents on planes or at work. Living FREE.
Oct 7th, who did they attack? Young adults enjoying life at a music festival. Living FREE.
Some people try to denigrate this ideology that they are "jealous because we are free". It is not that simple so I will grant them that, no one is without their faults or endlessly pure, however, they absolutely desire an unyielding vice grip of control over others, especially the poor or weak. The worlds caste systems are evil along with any coward enforcing it and targeting the vulnerable.
Let us hope that the CIA are operating aggressively in Iran to fund and recruit allies to overthrow and take control of the government temporarily. Then hold free elections and let Iranians decide their future based on leaders who share their values and aspirations as a nation. Time for these overlords who keep their citizens in the stone age to step aside.

Most of MAGA have already been there... your turn... so yes bring back the draft.... Put all anti Trumpers on the front line as cannon fodder...
The statist lefties are @ war with any & all that stand in their way of creating a "One World Without Borders"(OWWB) type of nightmare global g'ment. Ever since the statist lefties Glow-Ball warming scam froze over due to the climate-gate scandal the statist left no longer have a "unifying scare" to motivate the people of the earth into forming a OWWB, to combat the so called man made pollution that that is supposedly burning up our planet earth. Look for increasingly desperate attempts by the statist lefties to regain validity among the "normal people", but all that will happen is the lefties will just end up digging their grave ever deeper.

If the Trump Administration has a light switch attached to it --- Israel flipped it. Listen to what Trump and friends USED TO SAY vs. what they are actually doing. Ever hear of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
