1)

INTERNATIONAL LAW AND CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ARE NOT SYSTEMS THAT CHANGE TO FIT THE POLITICAL PREJUDICES OF AMBITIOUS POLITICIANS.
2)

Under International Law, a nation has a right to act against an existential threat, and Iran has been threatening the USA for 45 years and has killed at least 2000 Americans directly and many more indirectly via its surrogates and until now,
3)

the USA never retaliated nor got any sense of justice thanks to political considerations in Washington.
Therefore, what President Trump did is consistent with International law.
4)

Under the US Constitution and the War Powers Act, the President of the USA can take military action to destroy an existential threat to US security or to the security of US interests, without a declaration of law by Congress.
5)

The Democrats from Jeffries to Obama to Bernie Sanders are yelling “unconstitutional” and “illegal” and “impeachment”, but these declarations clearly show they are hypocrites, not Constitutional experts.
6)

Why do I saw hypocrites? Remember how President Clinton ordering a vicious attack on Serbia, destroying the infrastructure of their capital and
7)

killing (according to the Serbs) up to 25,000 civilians when no one in Serbia threatened anyone outside its own international borders. No authorization from Congress. No consideration of International law, which would have banned it.
8)

Remember when Obama ordered a devastating attack on Tripoli Libya, killing 1000’s of civilians including the leadership of the country, after their leader already gave up nuclear ambitions and was negotiating trade deals with European nations and
9)

was changing the political direction of Libya? The only winner in that situation was the American hating Muslim Brotherhood that rushed in to fill the vacuum. No Congressional Authorization and in complete violation of International law, as Libya was not threatening anyone.
10)

How about this. — Any politician that intentionally calls something illegal, unconstitutional, or contrary to International Law, for political not factual reasons, should be removed from their position and banned from American politics."
