as retarded as this is, the verbiage is intentional.

first of all, Iran technically declared war on us back in the 90s and has considered themselves in a state of war with the US since.

secondly, the president of the United States does not have the power to declare war, Congress must do that. the last time the United States actually declared war was against the Axis powers in world war II. every war after that, korea, vietnam, the Gulf war, afghanistan, iraq, etc has technically been a military operation in the eyes of US law. Johnson cannot say the word "war" because it would insinuate a formal declaration which would be illegal without sign off from Congress.

of course, Congress cannot agree on anything because they are all partisan hacks. Waiting on congress for any military action is practically inviting our enemies to attack us while we deliberate endlessly.

Still, the military operation with Iran should not be our fight and Trump should have simply let Israel to fend for itself. we've all heard the "nuclear weapon in a week" bullshit since the year 2000 at least.

this clip is the culmination of half a century of retardation within the United States government.

If Iran has been technically at war with the us for 30 years, Congress has been criminally negligent in not ending it before now.

When was that?

I did hear this from Dinesh D'Souza. Congress won't agree to declare war on another country, so this means the president has the right to unilaterally start wars.

They actually have attacked us, several times in fact.

While what you say is true, I hope everyone understands that we (the U.S., OPEC, NATO, and Israel), have been the much, much bigger belligerent and aggressor in the area, comparative to Iran, or anyone else. To properly analyze a situation and pass correct judgment, we must be honest with ourselves and not be logically inconsistent.

We've bombed almost every nation and people in the area that are opposed to Israel, or in the way of the Greater Israel project, or oppose central banking, or oppose the use of the petro dollar, or have tried to institute a gold backed currency (circumventing the petro dollar and central bankers). Numerous times, we've armed, trained, funded, manned, and often led "rebel" groups, that have started or become terrorist groups later on. For example, the Taliban, which we initially supported to oppose the Soviets, and who later became our enemies because of 9/11, due to the war propaganda to get us involved in Afghanistan, to protect poppy fields, which resulted in the opioid crises in the U.S., even though the government knew Bin Laden wasn't in Afghanistan, and that the Taliban wasn't guilty of 9/11 (Israel and the CIA were). Another example is the Libyan rebels we armed and supported to oust Gaddafi, because he was instituting a gold backed currency, which would be harmful to the petro dollar and the bankers. Another example is the Syrian civil war, which was entirely caused by the West, as we (the CIA and Mossad) created, manned, led, trained, armed, and funded the rebel factions which turned into ISIS, leading to the deaths of millions. The CIA and Israel also used their control of the media to put out fake stories of Assad using chemical weapons against his own people, and, one of the primary reasons we wanted to oust Assad is that he was in the way of the Greater Israel project.

If we're being honest, if we're being logically consistent, we would understand why Middle Easterners hate Americans, we would understand why Iran calls us "big Satan", and why they've used proxy forces to attack us for decades, because we've been neck deep in bullshit over there (out own doing), for decades.

We don't have to take the false position that Islam is good, or that Muslims are friendly, to know that we (the people in power of the West) are the bad guys, and that what we're doing to Iran is just an extension of a long line of evil we've perpetrated. Remember, that false dichotomies are how the people in power manipulate us. We don't have to accept or fall into their traps.

I do not support our current warfare but lets not be retarded. (Current) Iran has been attacking since at least the 90s

You just going to throw things like that out there and never substantiate them in any way?

I guess that is the neocon way.

I couldn't find footage from before 2010, but the entire Iranian Parliament has been chanting chanting "death to America" in sessions ever since they attacked the embassy in 1979 (70s, not 90s, I did get the dates wrong).

if that's not a declaration of war, I don't know what is.

Got it. So according to you Americans, bombing another country isn't a war, but a chant that hurts your precious feelings is. A country of sociopaths and lunatics. Everybody hates you, and rightly so.

BTW, does this mean you're going to invade Iraq again? They're chanting "death to America" because you're murdering people again.

Please answer the question instead of diverting. If you don't want to, that's fine too, but just admit it.

Trump should have simply let Israel to fend for itself.

Meaning you support Israel attacking.

Waiting on congress for any military action is practically inviting our enemies to attack us while we deliberate endlessly.

This is a good one too. You think Congress isn't authorizing enough new wars.

Because let's be real, you're a warmonger and a neocon with you posting Epstein Admin propaganda about "Iran attacking the poor US"... when you coup'ed their government and that was blowback for your own actions. How about you stop f---ing with them, is that so hard?

please work on your reading comprehension. everything you asked was already answered in the original post, there was no point in repeating myself.

Meaning you support Israel attacking.

abandoning a nation to fight their retarded medieval war on their own is the opposite of support.

You think Congress isn't authorizing enough new wars.

again, reading comprehension. I was simply pointing out the impracticality of waiting on Congress for every single military action when a nation has already attacked our bases and is threatens our declared allies.

Until we break ties with our nigger ally that is Israel, we are stuck cleaning up their messes and doing their dirty work. Until then, failing to back up allies signals weakness that no mation can afford.

You didn't though. You didn't explain how a chant is 'war' but you bombing another country isn't. You didn't explain why you're not demanding that you invade Iraq again, because they sure are chanting it. You didn't explain why you reposted Epstein Admin propaganda about Iran being the aggressor when you coup'ed their government in 1953.

abandoning a nation to fight their retarded medieval war on their own is the opposite of support.

Wait, so if I say that Azerbaijan should invade Armenia, but do it without Americans bombing Armenia, I'm actually anti-war? Who knew?

I was simply pointing out the impracticality of waiting on Congress for every single military action

Except that this isn't even the issue. You can respond when you're attacked. You just can't launch a flagrant act of aggression, like Trump did.

when a nation has already attacked our bases

Can you believe these people? They attacked OUR BASES after we rightly bombed their schools? Of course, we'll just say they did it themselves.

threatens our declared allies.

Not a threat, and not a 'declared' ally either. Get a clue, my man. Please also review the NATO treaty (of which Israel is not a member), which in no way obliges any member to start attacking another

we are stuck cleaning up their messes and doing their dirty work

Nonsense. Obama told them no. Biden told them no. Even Bush told them no. Only one president was even dumb enough to fall for it, dumber than Bush and Biden at his weakest dementia moment. One.

Also, earlier you claimed that you wanted Israel to clean up its own mess. Now you're supporting attacking Iran based on false pretenses.
