They have all been done under existing declarations of war. Iraq, Iran, Global War on Terror.
This one was not.
Hence, a new war.
You're not very knowledgeable.
Here's a few with no declaration of war:
Clinton bombes Iraq and Yugoslavia
Obama bombed Syria
Biden bombed Syria
Biden bombed Yemen.
And you screamed and cried about all of them. (If you were old enough, your constant repetition of the word 'Dims' as an insult kinda makes you seem very childlike).
Trump is not consistent enough day to day to hazard a guess as to what he will do tomorrow, other than contradict himself. These attacks are consistent with decades of American policy on Iran, only that usually we rely on Israel to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program. But of course he has given signals of much higher ambitions here, to assassinate and overthrow the Ayatollah, and overthrowing the government would require large #'s of ground troops and they would have to account for a much larger and more difficult territory than Iraq, and thus open up the prospect of a quagmire and further Middle East instability. The prospect is to get rid of a nuclear weapons program, to stamp out a state supporter of terrorism and regional wars, and to eliminate an ally of Russia and undemocratic state. The reality is that I have zero confidence in our leadership, not in that ignorant drunk in the Pentagon, not in that all-caps pathological liar in the White House, not in that set of toadies and lickspittles in Congress backing them up.
Today is an extremely hard day for all Newmankind.
- First they eradicated the majority of Hamas' leadership no matter where they resided - Then they blew up Hezbollah with an excellently executed (heh) supply chain attack - Next thing they assassinated leading personnel in Iran's Islamic Dictatorship and their "revolutionary guard". - And now Iran's nuclear aspirations are back to scratch.
How is a guy supposed to stay positive when all his favorite terrorists keep getting owned?
ANY RETALIATION BY IRAN AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL BE MET WITH FORCE FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS WITNESSED TONIGHT. THANK YOU! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
can wait for all you MAGA freaks to send your kids to die in Iran because you and definitely going to do that, right?
Lol. you think camel Harris could’ve stood up to the AIPAC? If Dems had won again, the war would’ve started sooner. What is clear is that the US elections are pointless. Israel runs the US government.
Trump said he would get us out of war. He’s the first president to start a war since Bush
Look, I totally see how people could think the strikes are a bad idea.
But there is no guarantee they start a war. They could start a war.
Unless you want to say we already were at war with Iran which most people wouldn’t say.
Trump took out Soleimani in his first term and we didn’t go to war with Iran. He bombed lots of other places and according to your logic he didn’t start a war.
So it’s knee jerk right now to say he started a war especially when he went and addressed the nation and said the ball is in Iran’s court.

He's stated clearly that he is not attempting regime change. However, the hope is that the people of Iran (or Persia) will topple a weakened government. Nobody is thinking about sending troops to Iran. BTW, the Syrian government, which had survived a decade long civil war, was recently toppled almost without a fight because Hamas and Hezbollah had been largely destroyed.
