Of course the Democrats weren't told! He violated the War Powers Resolution Act of 1973. Democrats, even after the illegal strikes, STILL haven't demanded punishment for thos high crime!
Donvict delusionally feels he's untouchable and has total immunity to carry out every authoritarian whim he wants. He feeds the hate, racism, and greed of all MAGAts in Congress and SCOTUS. UNTIL these vile humans feel real pain and suffering for their evil, they will continue their destruction of the US.
Trump and his followers are trying to destroy America and make into another communist country. He only cares about himself and couldn't care about any one else.
Communism? Haven't you got your terms mixed up? Most people use the word Facism, communism is something else entirely and you are obviously one of the many Americans who have no idea what it is in any of its forms.
I didn't mean to insult anyone. I just tend to be outspoken. You are right Totalitarianism I will go with 100%. but communism however does have many different meaning and is practiced in many different forms in different countries around the world. I would for example give the difference between Yugoslavia, and China which practises it in a totally different way Ive actually been to Russia 3 times, although it was before Putin took over and I found the people highly intelligent , highly educated and very interested in all sorts of cultural activities, belonging to theater groups and going to saunas for social occasions as well as practicing many old religions like Orthodox Christianity. I remember a wonderful picture of them sending the old believers to Siberia bound on to the back of troikas. Ah, Russia in the old days
They are the ones that typically dramatically react when it directly affects them. Many still haven't felt the Find Out phase but they will soon enough. Don't forget, Donvict has made many foreign enemies too.
Initially Trump said he was likely to act within 2 weeks, so he could have easily notified Congress at that time. Yet once again Trump is getting away with crime.
HOW AND WHY is this CONVICTED FELON RAPIST being allowed to CONTINUALLY BREAK OUR LAWS?!! No one else is allowed to break laws without being punished?!! This has GOT TO STOP!! FASCISM is now running rampant!
If Trump and his people were genuinely concerned about operational security, they would have removed Pete Hegseth from his current position (or better yet never appointed him to it in the first place). Keeping the Democrats in the dark about this operation was simply another act of insurrection on Trump's part.
Thank you Asha and Renato, your interview with Gen Hertling answered most of my questions about the many disturbing and frankly alarming ways the bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities has been handled by the Trump administration.
I still do have concerns, but I feel those concerns are better supported (and understood) having watched this podcast.
Also, great thanks to Gen Hertling for the wisdom of your experience and insights.
I watched a group of Airforce tankers flying eastward on internet radar...no doubt Iran did as well. The only reason for a bunch if tankers was for an operation.
I would like to ask General Mark this question: when/if the United States regains its senses and elects a competent leader who doesn't rank in the top ten in corruption . . . how would he recommend that the military be retrained out of this MAGA attitude? Because some of the problem is quite definitely in our soldiers and the MAGA propaganda they've been fed. We can't just replace command posts with sane, honorable agents and expect the military to behave as they did pre-MAGA.
There's going to have to be some hard, dedicated, even compassionate work from our military leaders to retrain soldiers who have bought into Trump's War Against America. Cults are most difficult to break.
Thank you all. Good questions yielded thoughtful, detailed responses. I didn’t once feel like the conversation got side-tracked or the audience was being deceived.
Thanks yall for helping us better understand what's going on and what's at stake. I just want to say as far as the military is concerned there's still a lot of Americans that have deep respect and gratitude for all of the branches.

Actually, the trump regime is akin to totalitarianism …. neither facism nor communism.
No need to insult another poster.

It's his base that will make him feel that pain.

Mitch Maconnel is responsible for Gosuch, Kavsnsh and Barrett. He made it happen and he is to blame for the coming lawlessness of Trump!!!
Absolutely!

Great point ! Russia loves this ! Ukraine is getting screwed and democracy is on the line. Slava Ukraine ! Trump has turned on his Allies. Extremely
dangerous and concerning !
Thank you Asha, Renato, and Mark. Good information for the US populace.
Why are you not talking about the FUCKING MARINES blasting the window out of a house 2 days ago in order to arrest a guy who had done nothing wrong?

CRIMINAL REGIME 🌮🤡
