The old stamps with a monetary value you would have to "add" value by adding a stamp if the cost increased (and people were adding 5ct coins as a result). The new ones (1/2 numbered) do not expire and keep their relative valu

My guess is the reason for this is the lower default prize displayed, since in some regions they have to include the OS price in the total (or deduct it when you don't want it).

An invasion of a sovereign country is a act of war by definition. It's a legal casus belli for the victim to possibly be followed by a official declaration of war but that does not invalidate the war status.
