The president is legally able to authorize an offensive action though. Maybe not an "all out war" like Vietnam but what's happening in Venezuela is entirely legal from the US standpoint.

Ah, US is doing a little special operation I suppose, inside another sovereign nation, and this of course shouldn't be considered an invasion.

Maybe? I don’t know there is an Authorization of Use of Force, and we’ve been conducting turkey shoots on civilian craft for lik 3 months now.

Seems on “Illegal” side of things, for whatever that matters in ‘26 huh?
