Beware that is this a vibe coded Claude app, unclear if any of the information is remotely accurate, especially given that the underlying AIS data is being spoofed and manipulated by pretty much everyone in the region

So no ceasefire then? Israel’s still invading Lebanon and killing civilians, Gaza is fast approaching 30% of it’s original unoccupied size, the West bank is suffering daily attacks by fascist settlers and Syria is being invaded attacked as well.

So, did they get that AUMF? Or does this just count as a new 60 day “military action”?

Seems to me it’s just the same illegal and unconstitutional WAR, launched with a giant executive middle finger to congress and the American people, complimented by a kafkaesque claim that it’s for our benefit while the president’s administration profits off of it through unregulated online betting markets. They can’t even be bothered to come up with weasel-words to sell it as a defensive action - they know everyone has just accepted that it’s an undeclared war.

I cannot overstate how bad it is for Trump to be able to wage wars by default because Republicans can’t get it together to take our country back from the executive branch. Just wait until he gets bold enough to target a NATO country - maybe Greenland? Who in America would be able to stop him?

This braying pompous incompetent ass is going to get us all killed. He must be politically defeated before it’s too late and the acceptable casualties of war become the American people.
