- lesuorac 1y agoIt 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.

- isolay 1y agoYou're overlooking that in this case "the definition of X" is outdated. One example for this would be asymmetrical warfare.
