    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.
