For some stupid reason the US President has carte blanche power as Commander in Chief to just start shit wherever and whenever they like, and then it's up to Congress to call it a "war" or just a "special operation" or something.

It's funny really when you think about it, the Americans are so proud of their checks and balances, but then also gave the president the power to unilaterally start wars. Lol.
