>>63914326>Some tweet trump made is just that there was nothing formal about it or decided through government bodies.There's been little to no formal declarations of war made since WWII; "formality" doesn't mean shit in the modern era for determining whether a country is at war or not, and for determining what a country is trying to achieve by going to war.
Any attempt to limit Trump's war powers towards Iran failed to get passed by Congress. And no one in the executive branch has to power to go against Trump's military decisions because he's the Commander in Chief.
>for israel it's different, they have a security or war cabinet that makes decisions on security and war related issues.Anyone in Bibi's war cabinet who has said that the war needs to end has ended up quitting. The only curbs on Bibi's war powers that you could possibly argue exist is his ability to END the war because the far-right members of his cabinet have threatened to quit if he makes a deal with Hamas.
I'm not saying the US and Israel are tin dictatorships, and I'm not saying Trump or Bibi have the power to set wartime policy to the extent Putin or other dictators do. But at least looking at Iran, who in the US and Israeli government is seriously curbing Trump's or Bibi's war powers, and by extension, their ability to determine their country's war goals?
>As for bib delaying his trial, maybe hamas shouldn't have pulled oct 7 if they didn't want him "reordering the middle east".I don't disagree with you on that. Leftists will argue that October 7th was justified by saying that "it was a concentration camp breakout", but they never seem to realize that it was a militarily retarded decision that led to all of Gaza being in ruins and under military occupation again.
My point was more that if Bibi has the power to delay his own trial by continuing a war, then there's also no one else in the Israeli government with the power to restrain Bibi's ability to set the war goals for Israel.
