The measure is a direct invocation of the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 federal law intended to be a check on the president’s power to enter an armed conflict without the consent of Congress. While it would still allow Mr. Trump to authorize military action in self-defense in the event of an imminent attack, it would compel him to seek approval before carrying out any offensive operations against Iran.
So that video claiming to be from anonymous, saying they have have knowledge a false flag attack will be used as an excuse to go to war...
Not saying that is actually anonymous or that they actually have any evidence, but also not sure how much evidence you really need to make a fairly accurate guess as to what the writing on the wall will be.
On the one hand needing congressional approval might not even matter bc Republicans have done just about everything asked of them up to this point. However, it does seem like we may be seeing some Republicans questioning if being loyalists will really help them retain their power when the midterms roll around.
If something were to happen like what anonymous/whoever is posing as anonymous is claiming, it could quickly swing in the other direction. Everybody was antiwar by the time Bush finally left office, but nobody wanted to be accused of not being a patriot in 2001.
Like a false flag attack on US soil or base?
Or sinking an aircraft carrier off the coast of Yemen. They've been practising by dropping some planes overboard first.
They are claiming us soil, but there is no indication the person in the video is credible. https://lemm.ee/post/66966221
