he went to war without congress approval, none of the member of congress knows what's going on only a few republican was in it. The War

He hasn't declared war. Declaration of war needs congressional approval. As it is the US is not at war with Iran so no congressional authorization needed.

So, is it right to attack another country if it seems reasonable and you can achieve your targets that way?

 

That's how most sports are played, attack your opponents targets while defending yourself from their attacks on yours.

 

Are you anti-sport too?

Read this article and educate yourself. As I said he didn't need congressional authorization. If you disagree then support your argument rather than acting like a petulant schoolboy with your comments.

Does Trump have the authority to order U.S. strikes on Iran?

His Article II powers include authority not only to order the use of military force to defend the United States and U.S. persons against actual or anticipated attacks, but also to advance other important national interests. Presidents of both parties have deployed U.S. forces and ordered the use of military force, without congressional authorization, on numerous occasions.

Right, that's why trump said Obama would need congressional approval before a strike on Iran.

Many comments are from folks who the other day were berating him for not making up his mind, when he said something like he would decide in 2 weeks, now he has decided once again they are doing the same?

I have infinitely more faith in these two than a president who tried to instigate a coup and suspend democracy. Hopefully this attack doesn't lead to a declaration of war because that would give Trump vastly more power, and that's the last thing the US and the world needs.

"Trump declared a state of national emergency in response to a nonexistent “invasion” by Venezuelan gangs. Imagine what he will do when the United States is actually at war with a real country, one that many Americans fear."

It could be by attacks on shipping in the straits of Hormuz. It wouldn't take much to bottle of shipping there. 

The Houthis could once again launch attacks on Saudi oil facilities.

Biden didn't get congressional approval before striking Yemen, so what's your point? Trump has not declared war either so it was not needed.

Still the same browser. Trump has other meanings, hence no automatic capitalisation.

 

So he can say what he wants because he doesn't know what he's talking about. I'll agree with the latter part.

Don’t worry about Europe.  Europe is lazy and avoids hard work on the world stage.

like The American boots on the ground in Viet Mike. History showed you were ill prepared and knew how to fill body bags. How long before you threw the towel in and abandoned the Vietnam people. We in the UK went 7 thousand miles to kick out the Argentine invaders in the Falklands within weeks, we defeated them with minimal casualties. So don't say we are weak.

Well that and a President who whole legislative program is collapsing faster than his poll numbers.

A military strike on Iran as a distraction and means to rally support.

 

It does nothing to make Americans.l safer, quite the contrary.

 

But the Peace Nobel prize is now a certainty...

[BLMFem]

Clinton tried to destroy Saddam's weapons programs in 1998 by bombing Iraq for 4 days. It didn't work, and in 2003 Bush Jr. had to resort to a full scale invasion to get rid of what turned out to be imaginary programs.

This time around who knows what the result will be. Best case is that the rule of the Mullahs end and somehow Iran turns into a democracy. Worst case is that the war spreads and that a desperate Iran attacks military and civilian  targets wherever it can do so.

What's making this so incredibly dangerous is that the US is lead by a person so completely incapable of doing the job he's elected to do it beggars belief. He shouldn't even be allowed to lead gaggle of geese across the road.
In addition, he's surrounded in key positions by persons completely without experience and discernible talent. The perfect recipe for disaster.

 

Trump’s strike on Iran marks a momentous moment — and gamble — for the world

 

"But if Trump’s gamble fails to destroy Iran’s nuclear program — despite his claim to have “obliterated” it with US air strikes — an often-lawless president could have set the United States and the world on a disastrous course. The risk now is that the Iranian regime responds by attacking US forces, targets or civilians in the region and the conflict escalates into a full-scale war."
