According to the Constitution, which you are always talking about, only
Congress has the power to declare war, not the president, not the
judiciary, just Congress. Perhaps I somehow slept through it but as far as
I know Congress has not declared war since 1941.    *

perhaps for ones that are so small that they are not worth a damn.*

*And the Navy was unable to build a nuclear powered aircraft carrier
without anybody noticing. And a Nimitz class aircraft carrier can produce
194 MW of electricity, but an AI Data center in northern Virginia will
reach 2,500 MW this year, and even larger ones will go online next year.
And how can the military spend $35 billion buying the most advanced AI
chips on the planet from Nvidia without anybody noticing? Spike,I'm
honestly surprised you're pushing such a ridiculous idea. *

*I said it before I'll say it again, you don't need a top-secret clearance
to use logic. *
