LightSnake 09/29/25 4:50:07 PM #43:	EPR-radar posted... Who decides if the US is at war and who the enemy is? The executive (let's be real, Congress has been irrelevant for decades regarding this). So Trump's word vomit about the US being at war with drug smugglers is a "justification" for his recent strikes against Venezuelan boats that is comparable to the justification for earlier drone strikes. Of course this is nonsense because all Trumpist bullshit is nonsense, but it is nonsense that has 6 votes for it on SCOTUS, so it has to be taken seriously. It's not that I disagree it can and is being abused heavily, but there's some big and obvious differences between drug smugglers and Al-Qaeda, I think we can agree. And Trump wouldn't wait for precedent TO do it. Al-Qaeda is a military organization that has performed military strikes. One of the chief targets on 9/11 was the Pentagon and they'd bombed military bases before that. --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:986573418] in I miss Joe...
