Labeling this an act of war is nonsense. I understand the outrage, but governments meddle with each other's publics all the time, that's normal international conduct, not always savory, but generally short of war.
Even the Russian collusion hoax wasn't labeled as an act of war.
What's fairly amazing in the recent events is that YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT is cutting you off at the knees. That foreigners do so is to be expected.
zIn Driefontein, Justice Mathew wrote:
“When differences between states reach a point at which both parties resort to force, or one of them does an act of violence, which the other chooses to look upon as a breach of the peace, the relation of war is set up, in which the combatants may use regulated violence against each other, until one of the two has been brought to accept such terms as his enemy is willing to grant.”

And there you have it. What MI-6 did was a use of force designed to usurp a duly elected president. Act of WAR!
Happens all the time?
Can you name another case where an ally or allies conspired with Americans committing sedition to unseat a duly elected American president?
Cuz I can’t.
