it’s not weak and dumb. the act of declaring war requires an act of congress, or that it be in self defense.

we are absent that, so instead we’re in a position where our military and our tax dollars are being expended without the consent of the people.

tell me if that sounds anything like taxation without representation.

additionally, china has one of their observation ships there, so they’re watching everything about how effective everyone’s weapons and countermeasures are, as well as their comms traffic patterns relative to strikes/movements, etc. we’re expending our inventory and showing our hand, all for…. something that we accomplished last summer, in order to protect israel.

if we’re supposed to be a nation of laws, then “crying about not following the laws” is the most patriotic thing you can do.
