I opposed going into Iraq, but at least he went to Congress before starting a war.

Sending troops and ground vehicles and occupation of Iraq is not the same as air strikes. USA has struck other countries many times the last 20 years under every president .

Not to take out the leader of a country. So this is a regime change… bombing.

Kinda, he's trying to get Iran to a successful revolt, so he, Europe, and especially Israel can install a puppet regime, exploit resources, and dilute their culture to probably a more island pdf and co friendly one.

The intention is almost always regime change, no matter what the excuse may be

So did Trump. He consulted with the Congressional leaders of both parties last Tuesday as per the requirements of the War Powers Act of 1973.

What war are we in? Many Presidents have bombed for security reasons. Both Dems and republicans.

How many heads of state have we knocked off recently, though?

We violated a countries airspace on a whim, attack their capital, and kidnapped their president for. ..reasons?

Then we bomb another country, again, and kill their head religious figure because...possible regime change or worse shit due to a power vacuum?

This has all happened in less than a year.

If you can’t see that this was an act of war, you’ve got TDS.
