I'd say that many of the people upset now didn't like that either but it at leas...

The US has not had a congressional declaration of war since WWII.

OK, AUMF. Sorry for the imprecision.

When did we declare war on Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia?

Frankly speaking, bombing a wedding is way worse than bombing a drug boat.

It was War on Terror, no? As a direct response to murder of thousands of citizens… (not condoning it though, America loves to murder people though I’ve heard a lot in October during election campaign that this time will be different…)

If you use War on Terror as justification, then why not use War on Drugs? How many citizens have died due to illegal drugs? How many lives have been ruined?

I would say it is pretty hard to take that seriously as a justification when they’re also letting Juan Orlando Hernandez go.

except there is no war on drugs - quite the contrary - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/12/02/trum...

and if you were serious about war on drugs you’d start in America, not Venezuela

How many historical examples of civilians being misidentified as combatants does it take before we question whether these strikes have all been drug boats?
