“who are we in a declared war against?”


No one, to my knowledge. The last nation that we were legally in a declared war with was the Japanese Empire, and the state of war ended on 9/2/1945.

That’s the extent to which the government has subverted the Constitution - because we’ve lost about 100,000 dead and probably 10x that many wounded, and spend literally trillions of dollars, doing very war-like things without a formal declaration of war. I could understand an emergency situation, like the Soviets having launched missiles at us, that there isn’t time to officially declare war, but with Korea, Vietnam, Iraq (twice) and Afghanistan there was PLENTY of time to officially declare war after the initiation of hostilities.
