That's not the point of those who are critical of Trump's decision yesterday.
Going to war and launching military power comes with risk and costs.
Congress is entitled to know:
What's the mission?
What's the objective?
What's the basis in international law?
What is the action plan for regime change?
Intelligence estimate for success?
What are the risks?
What are the US casualty estimates?
Duration?
Costs?
How much of our military hardware will be depleted?
Impact on economy?
Support from our allies?
All of the above are reasonable questions .... and consistent with a democracy weighing in thru elected members of Congress.
Notice that Putin on his own, decided to invade Ukraine 4 years ago.
We are not Russia.
