This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.

@georgetakei an undeclared war. I think that also impinges on international law. IANAL but I think some of the Geneva clauses relate to armed forces in uniform in a declared war, prescribing protections for those captured.
Perhaps the Administration is not concerned with s7ch protections.
@georgetakei You know as well as I do that if you call it a "war" that there are globally accepted rules of war, and the current view by some countries is that as long as you don't call it a war, your opponent's forces don't get the rights they'd get under a war. No war crimes, no prisoners of war, no Geneva convention.
Not saying it makes sense, or that it's actually going to hold. But it matches what they do.
@georgetakei The regime to remove should obviously have been the orcs and four years ago, preferably ten. This war happened to start extremely conveniently when there seemed to be some movement on the Epstein files. Now everyone has forgotten about those and nothing will happen about them ever again. What a sad country.
@georgetakei Strong is the "special operations" force in this one.
@georgetakei well, if that’s the argument, who will now remove the regime in the White House?
Of course it's not a 'War'...
It's simply the use of WMD - Weapons of Mass Distraction...
@georgetakei Seth may not have "declared war" put those are the exact words come from the mouths of the commander in chief and his cabinet members...including HIS secretary of WAR 💥
🖕
@georgetakei Mullin said that? It sounds like the sort of dialog you'd hear in Dr. Strangelove.
@georgetakei
If George Orwell had named Big Brother "Top Trump" he couldn't have been more prescient of today.
@georgetakei i guess putin his buddie told them it's not a war, it's a "special military operation".
@georgetakei It's a Special Operation, hey!
@georgetakei
In other words "It isn't a war because we don't want to call it that."
@georgetakei
It's the predator argument. "See what you made me do?," he says after bashing her face in and stomping on her belly.
@georgetakei sounds like a "special military operation" to me
@georgetakei haven't declared war on Iran because only Congress can do that, and Congress is dead.
How Markwayne Mullin admits he's a former mixed martial arts pro and not a Senator without really trying.
@georgetakei MAGA will believe it 🙄
@georgetakei Mullin suffers from Trumpstein Derangement Syndrome.
@georgetakei Gaslighting the planet - nazi fascists, the lot of these grifting lying crooks
@georgetakei Goes well with #PeteHegseth saying, "We didn't start this war . . . " 🙄
And this administration can't even keep the terms in their lies straight.
@georgetakei „military special operation“
As the one in Ukraine. By another madman, who thought it'd be a few days.
@georgetakei I assume he’d be okay with Canada killing Trump then after ICE murdered a bunch of Americans? That’s a “murderous regime” no?
@georgetakei But YOU are fluent in English. 🤷♂️
@georgetakei “if you’re a star they let you” #trump #epsteinClass
@georgetakei surprised it hasn’t been called a ‘special operation’ yet #EpsteinWar
@georgetakei would have been to point out that DOD was renamed department of war.
@georgetakei
Some people are so ignorant they think everyone else is stupid.
@georgetakei They can't call it a war, because their Capo is running his Board of Peace scam.
@georgetakei
I see Congress didn't get a look in?
So what lawful authority was Supreme Leader Donny operating under? Another executive order? 🤷
@georgetakei It's a "Special Military Operation". Now where have I heard that before?
'We're not at war with Iranian people, we just decided to bomb a few of their schools and hospitals and murder a few thousand Iranian civilians'
@georgetakei right
but have you considered that Markwayne Mullin is an evil, bloodthirsty, bad faith ghoul?
@georgetakei Mark Wayne Mullins is a douche. I hope that I get to vote him out of #Oklahoma
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
