minus-squareValmond@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoSure, 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.

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.
