Well, if the regime falls in Iran, it's going to be seriously bad news for Russia. So let's see what Putin says to his pet.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war. The President, meanwhile, derives the power to direct the military at all times, whether or not there is a formal declaration of war, from Article II, Section 2, which names the President Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President’s constitutional powers are quite broad in the context of limited military action. Additionally, courts have long upheld the President’s right to be the sole voice of the nation, in charge of conducting our foreign policy. In general, constitutional powers are not so much separated as "linked and sequenced"; Congress's control over the armed forces is structured by appropriation and provision, while the President commands all military forces.


The War Powers Act, which Congress designed to limit a President’s power to commit U.S. troops to combat, was passed as a Joint Resolution in 1973. The Act concedes that the commander-in-chief role gives the President power to repel attacks against the United States and makes the President responsible for leading the armed forces. It provides that the President can send the armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by Congress, "statutory authorization," or in case of "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.” It also requires the President to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without a Congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war. It must be noted, though, that no Administration of either political party has agreed that the War Powers Act is constitutional. Instead, rather than formally “complying with” the provisions of the Act (which would imply agreement with the Act’s legality), all Administrations state instead that they are acting “consistent with” the Act’s provisions (which implies that they are acting as they do because they freely choose to do so, not because they are compelled to do so).

When was the last time congress declared war ?
How many conflicts have we been involved in since ?
If the other presidents didn't get congress approval why would Trump ?
Are you holding Trump to a different set of rules becsuse you don't like him ?

Authorizations for the Use of Military Force

Congress has passed Authorizations for the Use of Military Force (AUMFs) that give the president the ability to take limited, defined military acts.

Putin

I don't buy into the Blue Anon Russiagate conspiracy theory BS.

But Russia and China back Iran and could make it very very costly for Americans.


As for Congress. None of them have been able to find their spines for decades.

Trump does not need approval of Congress. Do you remember the assassination of Qasem Soleimani in 2020? Do you remember Clinton bombing Serbia? What about Obama bombing Libya? No congressional approval.

that as the human engaging knows is automated system planned attempt at believability of it's false narrative, vlad input is a fiction of said algorithmic system, that means the system is known and identified for what IT truly is and that a genuine human can process that fully

for those too young or strong to be assimilated my protection stands no repeat of deepfakes past this time

He seems to have more respect for Putin than he does for the legislature of his own country.

He can using the war powers, but trump doesn't want a war.
