    Lawful /= you agree with it, basically.

    To see why this is definitely within the powers the president has, swap “Canada” for “Vietnam”, “Iraq” or “Iran”. For more detail, you’d have to refer to the actual laws of war the US government recognises.

        There isn’t any nation where the military can just disagree. Even under a military junta, it’s only the junta itself that gets a say; everyone lower down must follow orders (even the ones involving atrocities, in that case. The West is weird for exempting something).

        That said, yeah, America isn’t looking so good these days.

            Yes, .ml person. I’m sure you believe that. And also that North Korea is better, somehow. 'Nuff said.

            Edit: Clearly, the user name is ironic, with this much effort to get into a fight.

              I believe in history, lol? Why are you bringing up North Korea?

              Is your brain okay?

              Edit: clearly this person wasn’t interested in a conversation at all, based on my instance, lol?
