For years, Americans without healthcare have been able to reassure themselves that although they may be denied life-saving cancer treatment, at least their country had fighter jets and aircraft carriers that could reduce cities to rubble.
The USS Gerald R. Ford was officially taken out by a “laundry fire”, and to make matters worse, Iran is claiming to have struck the USS Abraham Lincoln, forcing that carrier to also withdraw.
In a country of misinformation like the USA who knows what to believe.
There’s a LOT of angry US troops who were minding their business keeping the peace when suddenly, Trump illegally told them to go to War - no Congress, no balance of powers.
Maybe Iranians did it. Maybe US soldiers elected to accidentally cause a accident forcing their battleships to leave.
I have to keep correcting this. There’s nothing illegal (in US law) about the executive branch unilaterally attacking another country. Congress has been shifting authority over to the Executive for decades, and presidents have been doing it for the last few decades at least. (See Obama’s drone strikes)
The president is required by law to notify Congress within 90 days and request additional funding.
It’s Immoral and a tremendously bad idea to let any one person decide to kill hundreds of people, but in this case it’s not illegal.
