What would Harris or Biden do?

You cannot go by what they said, as Trump proved by ignoring his campaign promise to end regime change wars. Would either or both of them be bombing Iran for any reason? Or for Trump's purported reasons?

This poses the question of Who is in charge?

The Constitution and wall to wall media bloviation say POTUS is the Big Cheese, period.

I don't think so.

But I do not know anything for sure.

I'd like to ask the c99 community for some help with a couple of perplexing questions.

I keep wanting to connect the dots with Trump, the real estate mogul and his principal capos Witkoff, another RE mogul, and Kushner, a wanna be RE developer of the future Gaza Riviera. Clearing the land of "entanglements" is the first negotiation, probably with Israeli oil companies.
It's all about making "deals".

This present mis-information campaign being waged by
the propaganda machine on the US population continues to
escalate to the point of total confusion.

While one politician states "we won the war in Iran", another
will announce the hostilities will continue "until objectives are
achieved". As one states "minimal US casualties", the next will
opine "there will be many more deaths".
