This is absurd. If another country hit our top civilian and military leaders and wiped them out, then bombed 1,000 targets and threatened five more weeks of bombings, we'd say it was war. Get real or get out of here with this.

@kirbygoulet it actually wasn't because only congress can rename it and they didn't do that. So you can keep calling it the Department of Defense just like you can keep calling it the Gulf of Mexico.

@georgetakei If a Nazi bombs anything of mine with so much as a firecracker I would consider that to be in itself a declaration of war and treat it as such.

Also-the fact that the US has bombed the homes of known left activists in Tehran so as to favor monarchists means the US is in fact at war with the people of Iran not just the government. So does the bombing of a girl's school with a weapon that could easily have been targetted somewhere else.

@georgetakei The regime to remove should obviously have been the orcs and four years ago, preferably ten.

What a sad country.
Show threadPeter BindelsMar 3

@georgetakei You know as well as I do that if you call it a "war" that there are globally accepted rules of war, and the current view by some countries is that as long as you don't call it a war, your opponent's forces don't get the rights they'd get under a war. No war crimes, no prisoners of war, no Geneva convention.

Not saying it makes sense, or that it's actually going to hold. But it matches what they do.

@georgetakei an undeclared war. I think that also impinges on international law. IANAL but I think some of the Geneva clauses relate to armed forces in uniform in a declared war, prescribing protections for those captured.
Perhaps the Administration is not concerned with s7ch protections.
