Your regular reminder that this clearly-it's-a-war is neither approved by Congress nor the UN Security Council & it is an egregious violation of the US Constitution, international law, & our signed, ratified treaty commitments, & if we were a serious country, we would care about these things

Normally you wouldn’t increase the likelihood of US casualties by announcing something like this ahead of time, unless you are bluffing to use it as a negotiating ploy, you are stupid, you don’t really care about the troops, or all three.
