> There has been no congressional declaration of war, no AUMF, no nothing, right?

No. From an international-law perspective, Trump is stepping into the footprints left by Putin, Xi, Netanyahu, Khamenei and his own predecessors in D.C.

From a domestic-law perspective, this is un-Constitutional.

He just called it a "war" on TV, and only Congress can declare war.
