> Trump had previously notified lawmakers in May that the war launched in February had “terminated,” thereby negating a 60-day legal deadline under which military operations must halt without congressional authorization.
This is an interesting way to game the system. End each 60-day war and start a new one, it's a new war so a new 60-day window.
That might be a loophole, but in this case I don't think it matters. The emergency powers let the president do whatever they want at this point. And even if there is a law preventing endless war, Congress is completely fine with it, and has been for decades.
why not? it was hilarious to watch EU firebrands 'express concern' and 'urge restraint'. Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria might as well have happened on another planet in another century, but Iran is happening right now and I'm not seeing European talking heads urging American people to take up arms against their government to end this illegal (?) war.
only the peasants are in denial about it, the eunuchs know their place. the shit they occasionally dare to talk is meant only for local consumption - when the tangerine emperor is in the room with them, they queue up to lick his boots and kiss his ass.

Three weeks after the Senate - House passed a war powers resolution telling him to cease hostilities. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8j6g3v3r4o
Loosest cannon ever. Completely rogue. Of course there is zero respect for governance, for democracy, for the system.
as a Russian, I'm still waiting for EU/UK/AU/NZ/CA/JP/etc to impose sanctions upon the US over the previous illegal war :)
You’re not in a position to gloat, my friend

They won't, because they are vassals and not even aware of it.

Lets go. In and out. Two week adventure.
