    No.

    Has Congress authorized military funding?

    No.

    Then it's an illegal war under the Constitution.

Your issue is with the founders, bruh.   So the republicans dragged us into a war in the middle-east under the previous GOP president .....after 20 years and trump spending $300 MILLION PER DAY on that war every day of his first term, Democrat Joe Biden gets us the phuck outta there, saving us from that disasterous GOP spending;  now - despite repeat *PROMISES* to the contrary - the racist/sex-offender in the Oval plunges the country into ANOTHER middle-east war - but this one costing $1 BILLION PER DAY ...and 13 American lives....so far...

     

     

    It costs far more than $1 billion a day (I would guess you could at least triple that). It is basically impossible to calculate the full economic impact of a war—especially in the Middle East—because it affects so many aspects of life.

    Large amounts of money that flows into your stock market (and one of the primary reason the AI-bubble can sustain - is that the oil princes reallocate their wealth). Rising oil prices mean you have less money to spend elsewhere in your economy, since you cannot simply stop using oil. Many industries also depend on oil and fertilizers.

    + If this turns into a full-scale war, there will also be significant human costs, including people who are killed or return home with different disabilities, PTSD etc. and need to be reintegrated into society - and receive the care and funding related to that.

     

    - you also don't have any mine clearing navy capabilities - atleast not enough - so you will need help from Europe - and considering how Trump has handled the Ukraine fiasco and Greenland etc. I can't see a scenerio where we will help you in a war for free 

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    I did actually just say “Europe” because I thought that was simpler than listing Germany, Poland, UK etc. I’m sorry—I gave you too much credit and assumed you had some idea of which military capabilities US were lacking and which countries could fill those gaps. I apologize for mistaking you for someone with a functioning brain - I did forget for a second you come from the country that went to war with one of the most productive countries in the world with drones - and then afterwards had to promise Ukraine blowjobs on the house to help you defend you against them an_popcorn

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    It’s always funny interacting with you guys (especially Trump supporters), because for some bizarre reason you think your military can handle everything—when you’d actually be closer to the truth if you assumed it couldn’t handle a damn thing :D

    Why do you think your military history is basically a series of failures? The propaganda over there is strong. I’m sure you don’t hear about things like your top special ops struggling with basic Arctic training during “Joint Viking” exercises, or that the UK successfully “nuked” both NYC and Washington twice in military simulations, or when a single Swedish submarine beat an entire US carrier group in a wargame etc. etc.

    now lets see what is going to happen ..

     

    merely a bit more than 3 hours ago President Trump issued a 48 hour Ultimatum to the Iranian crooked leadership 

    Quote : " If Iran doesn't fully open - without threat , the Strait of Hormuz , within 48 hours from this exact point in time , 

    the United States of America will hit and obliterate all of their various Power Plants , starting with the biggest one first. 

    (Thank you for your attention to this matter. )

     

    now what would that look like ?

     

    If a country’s power plants were destroyed, the effects would be immediate. Most areas would lose electricity, and water systems would fail as pumps and treatment facilities shut down. Hospitals and emergency services would be strained since backup generators only last so long. Food supplies would also be disrupted as refrigeration and transportation break down. The economy would begin to shut down, and daily life would quickly deteriorate, especially in major cities.

    for those of us who know Trump he does what he says.

    Don't know what your point is? - The propaganda and imagination of your military supremacy was as big in 2005 as it is now - and the only military success you have had since then - has been killing goat farmers and kidnapping and killing people while they sleep - a person that didn't seem sad to be kidnapped I might add ! And it did sink the ship it was to be tested on multiple times - So gg mate thumbs_up
    If this discussion was rather you have good military intel or not - you might have a case - but since your argument is that the US military can do pretty much every operation on their own - I am sorry - you lost before I even opened my mouth

    Strike threat: US President Donald Trump has threatened to “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz does not “fully open” within 48 hours. Iran will retaliate by striking US infrastructure in the region, according to state media.

    • Latest from the region: Qatar said six people were killed in a helicopter crash due to a “technical malfunction.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia ordered Iran’s military attaché and several embassy staff to leave the country, as Tehran continued to strike its Gulf neighbors and several people were injured when an Iranian missile hit a building in Dimona, southern Israel.

    • US-UK base targeted: Iran’s attempt to strike the Diego Garcia military base in the Indian Ocean has renewed questions about Tehran’s military capabilities and how far its missiles can reach.

     Ukraine spends $10,000 to shoot down a drone, and a Middle Eastern country spends $4 million. It is this experience that we offer," the Ukrainian leader explained.

    Congress intended War powers resolution act as a constraint against presidents starting war.  Without congress approval, military response is limited to self defense from invasion of US.  However US intelligence found no evidence of imminent threat from Iran.

    Yessir.  I saw that.  Not sure Zelensky, himself said it or not.

    I am not sure exactly what he is trying to achieve either by saying it.

    Maybe, he is volunteering some help, maybe he is trying to sell some, trying to say they are a valuable partner to have and expect some reciprocation, etc.

    Or, maybe he is trying to get information out to try to send message to Russia to imply how ineffective their strategy is or to indicate to his own troops some positive information.

     

    But either way it does point out a couple of things.

    Countries and folks have to adapt somewhat quickly with new tactics and weapons.  Ukraine is posting out how effectively they have adapted.

    They also have developed better jamming methods that help to push them off course.  So, sometimes hitting them is not even necessary.

    Necessity may be the mother of invention but desperation is the accelerator of it.

    I agree. The dotards with TDS completely ignored this post because they can’t argue against it. 

    It’s why they try to change the subject.

    But it’s not complicated. Congress is the sole entity that can authorize war. The Dept of War, Sec of War, and President all say we’re at war. So do members of Congress.

    It’s an illegal war. There is no valid argument against this, it’s why they don’t even try anymore
