By your definition, Vietnam wasn’t a war either, just a “police action” like Ukraine
but in both cases cases, people were still fighting and dying
go ahead, play your silly word games
the misery is still there
the misery is still there

Pray for the Russian and Ukrainian people. They suffer ( like us) from evil, corrupted leaders.
“police action”
[Wiki] “In military/security studies and international relations, police action is a military action undertaken without a formal declaration of war. Today the term counter-insurgency is more used.”
Without congressional approval. It’s a constitutional workaround which shouldn’t be. But if you prefer we could go in and do some weapons testing.
