President Trump just started a dangerous, pointless war against Iran
The war is not the result of deliberations or consultation. It is the impulsive decision of one man—like dictators do.

Russia ties, secret dealings with dictators, and putting foreign interests over American ones.

Members of Congress demand swift vote on war powers resolution after Trump orders Iran ...
Key members of Congress are demanding a swift war powers resolution vote to restrain President Trump's military strikes on Iran, which were launched jointly with Israel without formal congressional authorization. Bipartisan legislators in both chambers — including Democrats and a small number of Republicans — argue the action is unconstitutional, as the Constitution grants Congress the power to declare war. Most Republican leaders, however, have backed Trump's decision, citing Iran's nuclear program and missile capabilities as justification. Even if a war powers resolution passed the narrowly divided Congress, it would likely be vetoed by Trump, making any such vote largely symbolic but still significant as a public record.
Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People - The Atlantic
The Trump administration launched military strikes against Iran without congressional approval, a public rationale, or a coherent strategy for what should follow, particularly regarding the future of the Iranian people and government. The piece notes that U.S. policy has long oscillated between coercion and engagement with Iran without addressing the root issue of the regime's ideology, and that the current administration has actively dismantled tools — such as funding for human rights monitors, Radio Farda, and internet freedom programs — that could support a democratic transition. Critics and opposition figures warn that bombing alone will not produce a stable successor government, especially given the absence of a recognized or unified Iranian opposition. The author argues that for lasting regional stability, the U.S. must support Iranian self-determination and pluralist governance rather than simply targeting the regime militarily.
