An act of war is not a declaration of war. Words have meanings.
“An act of war is not a declaration of war. Words have meanings.”
Yes, but meanings apparently have expiration dates.
The last time we ‘declared’ war was years before the last time we used nuclear weapons to end one.
I’m sure the dead vets from the Vietnam, Korean, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc police/executive/whatever actions rest well knowing we did not escalate to actually honestly declaring what it was we were doing.
