🚨 BOMBS AWAY: OBAMA VS TRUMP - SAME WAR POWERS, DIFFERENT TARGETS

In 2016, Obama dropped 26,172 bombs across 7 nations - all without Congressional approval. That’s 3 bombs every hour, 24/7, for an entire year.

💣 Syria – 12,192

💣 Iraq – 12,095

💣 Libya – 496

💣 Yemen – 35

💣 Somalia – 14

💣 Pakistan – 3

💣 Afghanistan – 1,337

The strikes were justified under stretched post-9/11 authorizations, but Congress never voted on those campaigns.

Fast-forward to 2025:

Trump launches 36 bombs on Iran’s nuclear sites, bypassing Congress again - this time triggering international alarm and new questions about presidential war powers.

Same loophole.

Different decade
