Trump acted without consent. Does a president have power to declare war?
I know all of you Trump haters won't like this.....
But I guess you just have to get over it...
https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/05/09/actually-u-s-presidents-have-been-going-to-war-without-congress-since-the-beginning/
For the United States, Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution says "Congress shall have power to ... declare War." ...
There’s a general consensus that the imperial presidency model of warfighting began with Theodore Roosevelt and expanded dramatically after World War II — the last time Congress formally declared war.
Since then, every American president has used military force without a declaration of war.....
except for Obama who with Hillary, allowed our Embassy in Bengazi to be overrun and the Ambassador and several CIA fighters killed without intervention.
Thank God we don't have an "Obama" in office.

Re: Kabu,
No one can, in good conscience or even political conscience can support this rogue act. They cannot support Trump, and right now he is the political face of the US. I could appreciate the support they can't offer, which is sympathy for the American people for being dragged down this suicidal path by a pathological clown.

I feel as though the silence from the rest of the World, allies of the USA, is deafening!!!! I am not happy at all.

Re: Kabu,
There are a few people whose prayers I suspect are more effective than others, and you are among them.
