How the hell does the American constitution not have checks and balances in place for when a president goes rogue like this ?

From Gemini: The Commander in Chief is the supreme commanding authority over a nation's military forces, typically vested in its head of state or government. In the U.S., the President holds this constitutional role (Article II, Section 2), directing the Army, Navy, and state militias, with ultimate authority over military operations.

Im pretty sure this kind of thing would not be allowed in the UK without some kind of vote in parlement.

The War Powers Resolution is a federal law intended to check the U.S. president's power to commit the United States to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress. The resolution was adopted in the form of a United States congressional joint resolution.

US lawmakers condemn Trump over Iran strikes: ‘acts of war unauthorized by Congress’

Not that it matters. The elits are above the law. If they want to blow up the planet they can.

The elites are not a monolith. They are made up of various interest groups that are usually infighting. Right now the legal system of the US and international law will be stress tested to its limit towards that goal.

The peace president. He doesn't start wars. Etc.

And people believed this just like they believed he'd help cost of living. Democracy is a mistake.

@LordFall Tell that to them too.

I’m hearing that the big boss of Iran is gone. Can anyone confirm?

@Breakingthewall Dude i love your geopolitical analysis. How did you get to this stage in your development regarding geopolitics ? 

You're not being ironic? 😅 I'm glad it resonates. I try to remove the personal or emotional aspect from the equation to understand as clearly as possible how politics works, which is an expression of how human beings work.

 It's fascinating to see how highly functional, complex structures form using individuals driven by basic passions as their raw material; how these individuals connect like processors to energize the political entity, how the entity provides them with the identity they need, and how the entities relate to one another. 

All these related entities create the necessary tension for the system to be dynamic and progress exponentially toward brutal levels of complexity. It's the same as the evolution of biological life on another scale; reality seeking coherent patterns of complexity as far as possible.

The US and Israel have recognized this moment as their last chance to neutralize Iran, as its alliance with China and Russia grows increasingly solid and open. If they don't attack now, in a few years Iran will be far better armed, Russia might be in a position to provide direct support, unlike now, when it's preoccupied with Ukraine, and China could supply state-of-the-art weaponry and satellite support.

Israel cannot allow this; it's an existential threat, and the US would be severely harmed by a strong Iran dominating the Middle East. It's now or never for both, and they won't stop until the Iranian regime falls. Is it fair or unfair? That's irrelevant; it's strategic.

We'll see what Iran's capacity to respond is, but knowing that the US and Israel are gambling with their future, the outcome is inevitable.

Iran can block the Strait of Hormuz, but by doing so, it will harm China, its essential ally, the most. China will be harmed if the Iranian regime falls, but it will be harmed even more if there is a long war and economic collapse, since China doesn't want power but economic development.

The fall of the ayatollahs will only be a minor setback, insignificant in their 40-year plans; therefore, logically, China would want a quick end to the conflict. It will protest vehemently and do nothing.

We'll see what Iran can do. Perhaps more than it seems, perhaps it is much weaker than we think. The best thing for the world is for it to fall as soon as possible.

I doubt a power vacuum will help take Iran towards progressivism. They just got hundreds of people killed by the west. Iran also has one of the largest standing armies in the world, mostly to suppress its populace some people say. Whoever takes the place will of the leader if he dies will lead a similar style of government and now come at it from a position of being martyred IMO. If we look at it in terms of game theory, the uranium enrichment provides plausible deniability for both parties. Gives the US a "valid" reason to bomb them and gives the new leadership a way to make peace with the US while ultimately still controlling and exploiting the population which is the hidden game theory incentive of any corrupt leadership.

The point is that whoever takes power shouldn't be an absolute enemy of the US and Israel, as Iran has been for 47 years. I don't think Trump decided this; he knows nothing about politics. The real power in the US decides, and he obeys.

If Iran is achieved that is not hostile to the US, even subservient behind the scenes, the benefit for the US would be enormous: control of oil. 

China is unstoppable, and no one doubts it, but the US wants to prolong its hegemony as much as possible, which translates into wealth, and they know that China will have to swallow this pill because China is playing a game of patience in which balance is essential.
