This Is Netanyahu's War, Congress Can Prevent It From Becoming Ours

Representative Thomas Massie reminded the House that the Constitution vests war‑making authority in Congress, a point the GOP‑dominated chamber rejected by 212‑219. President Trump ordered strikes against Iran in coordination with Israel without a formal declaration, congressional authorization, or clear evidence of an imminent threat. The author cites the Costs of War Project and Harvard estimates that post‑2001 conflicts have already consumed more than $6 trillion and claimed nearly one million lives. He warns that the current Iran‑Israel clash could repeat that fiscal and human toll unless Congress asserts its purse and war‑powers prerogatives.
