Trump bombs Iran

[AZrailwhale]

It's an old argument. We have not declared war since 1941...and yet we call it the The Korean war, Vietnam war..the Iraq war etc.
The President has 90 days..while other Presidents have had the courtesy to consult/inform Congress---They don't really have a say until the 91st day--even then...they have to be able to override a veto if they decide to shut the President down.

Israel-Iran War: Can Trump bomb Iran without asking? Capitol Hill says no, invokes War Powers Act

As Israel targets Irans nuclear sites, pressure builds in Washington over whether President Trump can act without Congress. Lawmakers from both parties are invoking the War Powers Act, demanding Trump seek approval before launching strikes. But legal grey areas, old authorisations, and political...

Since World War II, U.S. presidents have authorised military operations in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Libya, Somalia, and more—without formal declarations of war. They’ve relied instead on broad laws like the 2001 and 2002 Authorisations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs), passed after the 9/11 attacks and before the 2003 Iraq invasion.

Trump used the 2002 AUMF to justify the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in 2020.

Consulting this congress would be like taking out an advertisement in the Teheran Times that we were going to attack this evening.

We did not declare war against Afghanistan. You are dreaming and need to wake up!

Your reading comprehension is terrible.

 

[Blisterfinger]

So much for the president of no more war..

I think he may have just ended one.. greatest president in history of the United States. Trump

[buttercup]

Yep.

 

[AZrailwhale]

So were they a ruse?... interesting...

Or a reminder to China that we can strike two directions at once. Ukraine doesn’t give them a free hand with Taiwan.

Oh that's a great point.... you may be on to something...

If this is all it is *three precision strikes, non civilians?

We should all be thrilled. Min cost. Peace whether they want it or not.

I wouldn't assume it was a successful strike until after the bomb damage assessments are finished.

Damage assessments of underground facilities can be complicated.

 

[scruffy]

Reports are we hit them with submarine launched cruise missiles also. Should have nuked them as a warning to China.

Looks like it was warning enough.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Gotta question your intelligence.

You don't sucker punch a country that you are negotiating a peaceful, diplomatic solution with. This is a new low for Trump.

Maybe throw in another $1.7B cash to be delivered.

 

[AZrailwhale]

How? Please explain. Soleimani was killed in Iraq, which was not his country.

They ignore that Kuds Force, Irans special forces were openly operating in Iraq killing Americans for years.

 

[AZrailwhale]

The question is: "did Iran get the enriched uranium out, or not?"

If they did, Mossad will find it with the help of moderate Iranians.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Um, it was reported a couple of days ago that Iran's missile command center was hit, and such precise firings weren't any longer possible.

Then, it turns out that the patients at that hospital had been moved out two days earlier.

If you're not highly suspicious, you're stoned on better weed than I could ever have obtained.

Why? Do you think the Israelis are stupid enough to leave concentrations of helpless, immobile people where a missile or drone can strike them?

I guess this TACO thingy has been laid to rest.

US bombs three nuclear sites in Iran: Trump hails ‘very successful’ strikes as he enters Iran-Israel crisis

The U.S. struck the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites, Trump announced

"

US bombs three nuclear sites in Iran: Trump hails ‘very successful’ strikes as he enters Iran-Israel crisis"​

So, it's June, and Trump has already ignored his own campaign "promises", a lot of MAGA on here were talking about how if you vote Biden you get war, but with Trump, there won't be any war.

Uh oh. Six months and he's treating you like fools on another issue.

These simps are being treated like fools on issue after issue by King Donald Trump I.

WE are simps?... and you voted for a lush named Harris who can't go a night without booze... and you supported a senile old man to be the leader of the Free world...
Sorry sir... you are the simp...

Iran strike like Hiroshima, Trump says as NATO chief calls him 'daddy'

RECAP: Trump compared the Iran strikes to the two nuclear bombs dropped on Japan at the end of WWII, claiming his strikes also ended a war by pushing Iran to the negotiating table.

www.dailymail.co.uk

We will see where this leads.

I don’t think there was really ever any doubt Trump would this.

Netenyahu has wanted for over the past twenty years to bomb Iran and all he needed was the consent of the US.

All previous US presidents said no.

He found Trump to say yes.

Not only did he say yes, but decided to join in this attack.

A dumb move that may change everything in the Middle East.

We will see.

yes .... we will see ....

 

[Orangecat]

There maybe Iranian sleeper cells here in the US. That will be have to be watched.

Facilitated by the lax border policies of the previous administration.
