I for one am shocked congress wasn’t asked to formally declare war. The only other time this has happened was Libya2, Iraq2, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Somalia, Iraq1, Libya1, Grenada, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Korea…

Congress could regulate this but they won’t. It’s like watching a car accident happening in slow motionn
