If we’re under attack, prez can authorize. If we want to go to war against someone or have a military strike, purportedly congress needs to approve. It’s not adhered to by most of the recent administrations of the past decades.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

This is false. To declare war? Yes. A military strike? No.

The AUMF has has been used as justification for a lot of the strikes around the world since 9/11.

Yes, but does it really matter at this point? Trump's going to bomb them anyway and he won't face much pushback.

Maybe he won't. He just said the killing is stopping and there won't be executions. That was his stated red line for attacking so he might be backing down.

Or are we not that kind of country anymore?
Anymore? We haven't been that kind of a country for a very long time. The anger or indifference on this issue at any given time is all dependent on who is in office and who you voted for.
