That paperwork does not authorize the use of military force.

Of course it won’t.
It’s obvious that some folks don’t want/need to consider the larger implications of our leaders using the power of our nation-state to commit homicides on the high-seas.

Oh you "must". (in using that word alone,...like there is a COMPULSION to do so, that could be considered bloodlust. The belief that it is a "must")
Why? Because you think that you actually CAN I guess right?
You cannot.
Nobody can and nobody has when acting within the legal framework of your country.
There are a LOT of Americans who don't want to live in a banana republic that seeks to emulate Central and Southern American government styles.

Because that's the protocol set up by the US government.
What the US government has set up, the US government can also change.
That's the point I'm making that so many people don't seem to understand. They seem to think that "the way things have been until now" is some kind of natural law.
It's not. It's not natural law. It's not even international law.
And international law itself is nothing more than "the way we previously did things."
People are not realizing the fundamental change that has occurred with this president, this Congress, and this Supreme Court.
Trump can literally do whatever he wants to do...because nobody is going to stop him.

Then I suppose the 2nd Ammendment applies to everyone in the EU. We should see guns flooding into the EU now. England then has the wrong form of government because it doesn't follow the US Constitutional Form.
Canada has some explaining to do regarding the rights of their citizens because their citizens most certainly do not have the same rights as ours.

Are we going back to having “outlaws”?
In the olden days an “outlaw” was someone designated as being “outside of the law”, therefore anything that the ”law” did to them was fine…this requires that the Constitutional principles of presumed innocence and equal protection in the law be dispensed with and that extra-judicial killings is just a-okay.

Yep. Killing alleged "narco-terrorists" plays well with some folks.

Yeah, the number of people here on the forums plugging things into Google's AI search and uncritically parroting the results is, frankly, depressing. Like, if you're going to be that lazy in a zero-stakes casual discussion that you have no obligation whatsoever to participate in, what's even the point?

So, the "Americans who don't want to live in a banana republic that seeks to emulate Central and Southern American government styles" are irrelevant.
Why are you talking about them?

Did you actually believe the God given rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution applies to those who reject them and wish to live under a different system? Perhaps the US ought to invade Great Britain and strip its government of their power and instill a US Constitutional one. After all the Declaration of Independence gives us that right. Canada should really be first since its so close.
Did you really believe thats what they meant?
