It's quite democratic, yes. Congress specifically authorized the president to do that. And in our country, the president is elected.
Democracies aren't always right and they aren't always perfect, but they are far better than the alternative.
It's simply unfathomable that the US could engage in a war like Putin is waging now in Ukraine because our government is accountable to the people.
Which part did congress give permission for exactly,Syrian occupation which till date the USA denies,troops in Iraq which are never mentioned,I guess congress also gave permission for the recent strikes in Yemen or for the billions spent on military aid(bombs,artilerry shells and guns,air defence) being sent to Israel weekly.plus congress is owned by defence contractors that's y they never have money to develop america or to alleviate poverty or curb homelessness but they always have money for military spending and interventions around the world
Also by saying your president is elected I take it you're kinda saying Russia doesn't have elected leaders since that's the narrative the mainstream media projects "Putin's a bad dictator and the Russian people have no choice and or are unhappy"
I guess saying you should do your own research is in order
Yeah Trump is being dragged up and down,facing court cases and being removed from the ballot in states,so much so for democracy
