Congress hasn't declared war so there's no way we can be at war. Question is whether the Supreme Court will sell us out or not.

  We should find a new name for wars that aren't wars. Maybe a some kind of special operation?

    "Special Military Operation" (Специальная Военная Операция) is what the war against Ukraine is called in Russia

  They did not do this for Ukraine either, which seems quite a bit larger.
