The "why" doesn't matter beyond the fact that he did it because he knows he *can*.
And he *can* because the GOP-controlled Congress is a bunch of cowed mutts who are full of BS, to mix a metaphor appropriate to the cluster-f**ked nature of the occasion, a few of whom will mutter "war powers" and catchy acronyms like AUMF under their collective breath while carping about Article I, Section 8 on some old piece of parchment which used to have something to do with how we did things in this country at one point in our history.
AYFKM?
And all of this while holding their collective breath as they try to wish away any consequences from the Commander in Chief's having again put American lives on the line in an offensive military operation in a foreign land that will benefit Americans here at home in no appreciable manner whatsoever.
Neat trick, that: holding your breath while talking out both sides of your mouth at once.
You lie down with a dog. And then bitch about getting bit not just by his fleas but by the son of a bitch himself. Please.
Maybe RFK Jr. can advise you whether or not you should get a rabies shot.
I have to laugh real, Pagliacci tears. In October 2024 I was listening to an elderly woman buying gold at the local coin & pawn store, who was frightened that Awful Kamala would be elected and the US as we knew it would cease to exist. "She'll just get us into endless wars!" said this elder stateswoman. U feedin that leopard your gold?
Ummm, smokescreen for Epstein atrocities and election rigging, for one. For sheer power, and to attempt to conflate war with peace, for two. And for so many other Trumpy reasons
Trump is going to strike Iran just because he can. Its kind of like flexing his flabby pecs. He will come up with some excuse. He claims he is concerned about the protesters in Iran , which is a lie. He has no concern of his own countries protesters .
I'm sure that Kristi Noem is happy and relieved that when some of those protesters get killed in his military strikes that no one will be pinning the blame on her and ICE for it.
I think that the strategy is to make it easier for the conservative Israeli government to absorb all of the West Bank in order to prevent the creation of a Palestinian state. If you want to know the real reason, ask Prince Stephen of Santa Monica. He is the person whispering in the ear of King Donald the Feeble.
I do hope the purported Iranian “hackers” who claimed video of Trump with children will proceed to release them. But perhaps that was just blowing smoke.
You do know why Israel and the US are attacking Iran - it is a dreadful regime and Trump hopes attacking it will gloss his needy ego and distract at a time of difficulty (war does that!). it is because Israel and America perceive the regime as being weakened and the opportunity of an uprising against it by the population is not to be missed.
The question is not ‘why’, it is one of legitimacy at home (war without Congressional approval) and double dealing negotiations and aggression that leaves the world once more confronted d by an American rogue whose word cannot be trusted.
Whether it is wise is another matter. Iran is not Venezuela…
"Legitimacy at home"? The phrase implicates the U.S. constitutional order. The relative ease with which MAGA is dismantling that order proves the weakness that order. The results are in: "checks and balances" can't really replace civic virtue. Back to the constitutional drawing board? We'd first have to choose new drafters, but if "we" could do that we wouldn't need new drafters. Constitutionally speaking, the U.S. has experienced two or three happy accidents over the past 2.5 centuries (see Federalist 40,16th par.). Fate may produce another.

And the "NO WAR" president started one. God help us!

So it happened overnight- Bibi is playing Trump like a fiddler.
So does his Board of Peace take weekends off? …asking for a region plunged into new chaos
Did the UAE know they didn’t get the “peace” part by joining?
They got a BOGO coupon for the Trump Crime Family Gift Shop and Crypto Emporium

Of course we know why. The Epstein Files.
