Isn't war something that needs to go through congress? On top of that, isn't this an international joint operation between two nations that DEFINITELY would need to go through congress? Doesn't matter? Okay.

I suppose congress should do something about this overreach then!

Constitutionally, war should go through congress.

But we haven't followed the constitution in a very long time, obviously... decades

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist.
