Episode description
Operation Epic Fury: Why Trump’s Iran Strikes Don’t Need Congress Is it inconsistent for Democrats to label President Trump a dictator over “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran while ignoring U.S. history? Have presidents of both parties not led multiple undeclared wars and military actions, and does Article II not grant the president authority to initiate and direct military operations? Is the 1973 War Powers Act unnecessary and unconstitutional, especially in light of Nancy Pelosi’s statement that President Obama did not need congressional authorization to bomb Libya? Has the United States not effectively been at war with Iran since 1979, with Iran and its proxies killing at least 1,000 Americans? Does waiting not risk a catastrophic nuclear attack, and did President Trump not act to protect Americans and U.S. allies, including Israel?
