What I'm hearing here is "guillotines"
Something I’ve commented on before is that, in addition to Nuremberg finding that the Nazis violated international law, they also found that they violated German law and the Weimar constitution (which had never been repealed).
Forget all this. The President has no fucking authority to declare war on anyone.
International law is great. It's important. But this shit is illegal as a matter of AMERICAN law

MAGA: I voted for a $400 million ballroom, war for oil w/Venezuela, remodeling public golf courses in DC, jets to Qatar, AI chips to China, Trump calling himself the first Jewish president, pardons for drug traffickers & politicians, Epstein files coverup, & failed indictments!

There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

If push comes to shove, and the US' enemies decide to flex their muscles in spots that are FAR more sensitive, it will quickly become apparent that the Nazi USA is very, very far from being able to counter multiple significant threats around the globe. Just sayin'.

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.
Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.'
None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack.

Not for nothing but federal law contains several statutory provisions that restrict, if not outright prohibit, this unilateral action by the senile dementia patient in the Oval.
War Powers Act. War Crimes Act. Anti-Piracy Act. Neutrality Act.
All still on the books.
