Ummm... We just bombed a sovereign country.

That's an act of war, doc.

would all the below attacks by Obama be acts of war or does Congress have to officially declare war?


GROK: During Barack Obama's presidency (2009–2017), the United States conducted military airstrikes, including drone strikes and bombing campaigns, in several countries. These actions were primarily part of counterterrorism efforts and operations against groups like al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban. Based on available information, the U.S. under Obama bombed the following countries:
  • Afghanistan: Continued and expanded airstrikes against Taliban and al-Qaeda targets, with 1,337 weapons dropped in 2016 alone.


  • Iraq: Airstrikes resumed in 2014 against ISIS, with 12,095 bombs dropped in 2016.


  • Syria: Airstrikes began in 2014 targeting ISIS and the Khorasan group, with 12,192 bombs dropped in 2016.


  • Libya: Airstrikes in 2011 supported NATO’s intervention against Muammar Gaddafi, and later in 2016 against ISIS targets.


  • Yemen: Drone strikes and airstrikes targeted al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), with nearly 100 attacks since 2009 and 34 bombs dropped in 2016.


  • Somalia: Drone strikes and commando raids targeted al-Shabaab, including the killing of leader Ahmed Godane in 2014, with 14 bombs dropped in 2016.


  • Pakistan: Drone strikes targeted Taliban and al-Qaeda militants, with 563 strikes during Obama’s presidency, compared to 57 under Bush.

In 2016 alone, the U.S. dropped 26,171 bombs across these seven countries, averaging three bombs per hour. Obama’s administration expanded the use of drones, aiming for precision strikes to minimize U.S. ground troop involvement, though civilian casualties sparked controversy
 
You really think bombing another sovereign country isn’t starting a war?
Well, as many times as Iran has proxy attacked the US over the years, is it fair to say the US “started” this?

If so, what is your statute of limitations on previous Iranian aggressions?
