Episode notes
Unilateral Drift Toward War
- Daniel Davis argues President Trump appears to be unilaterally moving the U.S. toward war with Iran without constitutional or War Powers Act authorization.
- He warns Congress has abdicated its war-power role, effectively handing decision authority to the president.
Major Combat Power In Region
- Davis catalogs significant U.S. military assets moving to the region, including the Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group and multiple air assets.
- He emphasizes that the force present is substantial and capable of major strikes, not a token deployment.
No Clear Justification Presented

- He suggests political and allied pressures, not necessity, are driving the move toward military action.
