Comment on Satellite firm pauses imagery after revealing Iran's attacks on US bases

Congress voted it’s not war, doesn’t require war powers, so yeah anyone or private business treating this as a warzone is in the wrong. Except now that they have decided that, still seeing wartime excuses from gop behavior. Schrodinger’s conflict starting world war epstein, staying on brand for 2026.
