    Yeah I know, de facto they are at war. But not de jure. As far as I know, congress hasn’t declared war. Nor has trump, unless I’ve missed something.

    But anyway, that was my point, there doesn’t seem to be declaration of wars anymore. Just send in missiles and pretend its a police action, special military operation or whatever is the easiest way to get out of the legal responsibilities of an actual, declared war.

      Sure, but it’s definitely a war, declared or not, so yeah de facto, which is probably enough for the Iranians.

      Do the same with China and the situation might be different IMO.

        Yeah I’m not arguing that its not a war or anything. I’m just saying that the cunts have figured out that not officially declaring war gets them out of the legalities of war. And they have also figured out that no one will do anything about it.
