So you’d be okay with the Chinese dropping a bomb on a house in your neighbourhood because some right-wing nut was gonna blow up a government building?
At this point you really need to define what a “war” is because all you’re doing is dancing around without having to actually stake any claim to an argument. Instead of getting indignant at people drawing conclusions from what you DO say, make the substance of your opinion known so it can be examined and criticized openly.
Explain what the difference is between having your military attack another country and a “congress didn’t say it’s a war but it’s really a war”.

He’s a terrorist, so it’s all good right?
I mean, I’m not going to shed any tears over a would-be Timothy McVeigh who probably fantasized about killing leftists like me.
Now, if they start bombing weddings, then we’ve got a problem. And yeah, the US military did that.
I’m not justifying it. I’m only saying the title is a bit misleading/sensationalist.
It’s really not. It’s a definite act of war.

“a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state”
Key word, “between.” You can’t have a war if no one declares war.
Are you just fucking with us now? Is this a bit?
I’ve seen at least one other person gently remind you of the last 70 years of US history. Are you just being a troll at this point?
I worded my question explicitly so as to make you think about this. Can you please try to?

Mexico wouldn’t be fighting back in this case (which is obviously bad, I’m just speaking semantically).

An invasion sure, but not technically a war.

I’m curious if you extend that to the Russia-Ukraine conflict too…
