It can indeed be taken as a declaration of war by the other party, but if it isn’t officially one according to the American law, then that’s it… This appears to be within the powers of the president, and that’s all this post is about…
Does it completely suck that he can do this? obviously. But this impeachment seems silly, so why make a fool of yourself and go through with it when it just has 0 chance of succeeding?
are you now on purpose misrepresenting this???
He said impeachment doesn’t make sense because he didn’t do what they’re accusing him of, and what he actually did is something pretty much every president has done in the past century, and is apparently allowed.
Doesn’t mean him doing it is morally right, or that he should do it or… Just that this impeachment is just a silly show that will achieve nothing except making everyone taking it seriously look like an idiot…
Why don’t you google it?
Declaration of war seems to have a specific meaning, and doing a bombing doesn’t seem to be part of it.
and all the rest of your post just doesn’t make any sense. It’s not because you didn’t officially declare war, that the other party can’t retaliate, can’t declare war on you can’t… It’s just… an attack can cause a war, but isn’t a declaration of war, those are two separate things.
