Some journalists's job is to risk their life going to dangerous places. Going to the US is not yet being a war reporter but it's more risky than before.

  Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, United States of America. These are the warzones of today.

  "A thing is X if you don't use the definition of X" isn't incredibly helpful information.

    It might as well be a warzone .... > https://www.google.com/search?q=california+declares+war+on+texas https://www.google.com/search?q=california+declares+war+on+t... > California has not declared war on Texas, but the states are engaged in a "redistricting war," a political struggle over drawing new congressional maps. This "war" is a symbolic conflict between the states' differing political parties and aims to gain an advantage in the U.S. House of Representatives, with California attempting to counterbalance Texas's Republican-drawn map. If numerous publications are referring to your country having a war, then it might as well be ok for a lay-person to use the word.

      That’s just figurative speech about redistricting. I think you’re mistaking Americans tendency to use militaristic metaphors in our discourse.

    You're overlooking that in this case "the definition of X" is outdated. One example for this would be asymmetrical warfare.

  The US is in a state of war on every front except actual physical shooting. Political: Total war. Legal: Almost total war. The president has yet to openly disobey a Supreme Court ruling; other than that, it's pretty much total war. Information: Total war. It is shocking how different this is from 20 years ago.

    information warfare is absolutely rampant all over the West.

    And it is sad to see how commenters here are in denial about it.

  This is still hyperbole by an order of magnitude
