During his first presidential campaign Donald Trump famously claimed that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose
You have not been “at war” since WWII… Or was it Korea? Every one of the conflicts the US has been engaged in started with the executive branch unilaterally deciding on it as is the president’s prerogative and while congress ended up funding all that they never declared any war.
Trump is doing a lot of unprecedented stuff, but this is as precedented as it gets. Bombing a nonthreatening Latin-American country might actually be the most Presidential and traditional thing he ever did.
They literally invaded two countries. We probably agree that they never should have been there, but to suggest it wasn’t an active warzone is just asinine.
You think the drone murders were limited to merely Iraq and Afghanistan? (Putting aside the absurdity of declaring whole countries to be “war zones” even a decade after the invasions)
They were happening in a war zone. We are not at war with Venezuela. Pretty obvious why this is different.
And no, I’m not defending Obama’s bullshit drone strikes. Just be real.

Sorry but that is absolute bullshit, declaring “War on Terror” does not make a whole region of the globe a war zone.
It was bullshit then as it is bullshit now, check your biases.
