Yeah I know, de facto they are at war. But not de jure. As far as I know, congress hasn’t declared war. Nor has trump, unless I’ve missed something.
But anyway, that was my point, there doesn’t seem to be declaration of wars anymore. Just send in missiles and pretend its a police action, special military operation or whatever is the easiest way to get out of the legal responsibilities of an actual, declared war.
Yeah I’m not arguing that its not a war or anything. I’m just saying that the cunts have figured out that not officially declaring war gets them out of the legalities of war. And they have also figured out that no one will do anything about it.
Aren’t they also (supposed to) block only Iranian ships/from Iranian ports? Otherwise it’d be like a declaration of war.
Blocking ports is a act/declaration of war as well but I guess we are not doing that thing anymore.
They are already at war with Iran.

Sure, but it’s definitely a war, declared or not, so yeah de facto, which is probably enough for the Iranians.
Do the same with China and the situation might be different IMO.

Exactly! I think I just wanted to pile on on top of your comment. The whole situation is infuriating on so many levels.
Ah, gothca :)
Dunno about war, but the CENTCOM release is pretty clear-cut:
