Are presidents the ones who decide to wage wars?

Sort of. Presidents (and in democracies, legislatures) can use the levers of power to spur the public on to fight wars. Neither party can truly war unilaterally, but it can be very difficult for the civilian populace to resist those levers of power... they are powerful, after all.

Ever hear of the Deep State? They are the ones driving the agenda including what gets published in the media.

Wars are old men sending young men to protect their property.

It's the ruling class.

You don't need anti-Jewish conspiracy theories or ancient Italian culture wars to understand that shit.

The news makes it look like it but no. In the modern world since the age of Kings there is always a State security department that sets the limits and where that line is drawn.

in the us its congress and not the president who can declare war, and the last time that happened was ww2 in 1942, against the European Axis

Only Congress can declare war.
However, a lot of presidents have gotten away with sending our military all over the world, to wage war.

I think you answered your own question here. With sentences 2 and 3.

Who knows.. 🤐 greedy bastards cause wars.. thats about it imo

How long of a YouTube video did you watch to come up with that nugget??

No,and elected governments are a charade too.

They have to get permission from Congress.

The media drives it..

Well, they can't declare war in the US....

No it is the secretary’s decision
