Trump calls current Iran conflict a 'mini-war'
President Trump described U.S. military operations in the current Iran conflict as a "mini-war," framing the actions as limited in scope. That characterization invokes the War Powers Resolution, which requires the president either to secure congressional authorization or to withdraw forces within 60 days of initiating hostilities. If U.S. operations persist past that statutory period without Congress's approval, Congress could force a withdrawal or pass explicit authorization, a choice that would determine escalation, troop commitments, and U.S.-Iran relations.
Trump just referred to the war with Iran as a "mini-war."

DlRotroff17So those who die in this ‘mini war’ are just ‘a little bit dead’?
PacifiCali 🟦🟧🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇸11Even a fun size war needs to approval of Congress 🤷♂️
Matt Gaetz Forehead10That’s also what he calls his package.
Dawn Humphrey10Follow-up question: Define a "mini-war" because to those of us without cognitive disorders, a war is a war, and not a "mini-war" or a "little excursion"
John Bigbooté - from the eight dimension.9limit him to a mini budget

Canadian Cynic4So I'm assuming that raping a 12-year-old is a "mini-rape."
Starman-X3Ship the "Commander in Chief" over there to lead his troops. He seems to be able to dodge bullets so should be just fine. Make it soon. However, it is entertaining to watch Iran play him, just like Putin and Netanyahoo have been doing for years.

Random Bott 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇲🇩 🇬🇪 🇷🇴2He still needs Congressional authorization to continue and approval of funds to expend for supplies, deployment of equipment and troops.
Mary k2Trump has dementia, and his boss putin told him what to say to his stupid and racist base.
Hittielove22From the folks at Minitrue comes the concept of Miniwar.
Ed Seedhouse2Because all the people being killed are teeny tiny people?
Leonardo Carretas2It’s not such a “mini-war” for the innocent civilians whose lives are caught in the crossfire and are forced to face death and destruction. But American politicians don't seem to care about anything beyond themselves. How dehumanizing.
someonegrandma.bsky.social2Tell the families of the dead military he had killed. I'm sure that will help.
radicallycenter.bsky.social2Then there should be mini congressional approval vote. Let’s say Dems only
Trump: “We’re in a mini war.” That’s how gullible he thinks people are. Let that sink in. Mini war? That’s new to me.
B. Anderson6And Trump said it was a friendly blockade...Trump is a walking oxymoron with alternating emphasis on moron and oxy
kozl.bsky.social6Like being a little bit pregnant?

piya23.bsky.social4That’s what an imbecile calls a war which is un winnable.
Doyle4So, Trump is getting his ass kicked in a "Mini War".
Chuck Watkins4So we need a Mini War Powers Resolution? Or is his Mini Congress led by his Mini Cult going to demand more taxpayer dollars for what WON'T be a Mini Expense? Healthcare would've been cheaper, AND our Navy would still have food...
Mr. Fusion4A small amount of blood shed should be accepted, according to these people. Remember hours after Robb Elementary in Uvalde? Greg Abbott: "It could have been a lot worse..."
WickedGypsy3He's trying to reset the 60-day clock, so he doesn't have to go to Congress
Hope🇨🇦3Oh goodness, I think our war has been hit with shrinkflation. We’re being forced to pay for a full-size war that just doesn’t seem right.

Trump on Iran: “I call it a “mini-war,” because that’s all they are.”
Mark Chadbourn80Trump: “We have a war right now. They say, “What’s taking so long?” “We were in Vietnam 19 years, Iraq for many years, 10 years, Korea 7 years—I won’t even mention WWII.”
👞 Old Brown Shoe 🕊️5So, he thinks our troops are mini-dead, and mini-injured. Good riddance to all y’all who still support this fascist fuck. To half my family, this means you. 💔
DBdant4Tell that to the people who have died. They didn't die a mini-death.
