Why is this board so afraid to say the word war?
Because there’s a difference. A military operation/strike is brief and usually one sided and short lived. War is direct intensive engagement between both parties over a long period of time.

The Senate has not issued a Declaration of War since 1942. This is all just playing politics.

Please link the formal declaration of war as voted on by congress.

I don’t know. Maybe they wanted the people to have a say in who went to war with. The people have voted to give that power to POTUS.
Will you answer my question now?
Sure. I’ll use your method.
I don’t know. Maybe the definition of war is debatable.
What is the threshold of military action and number of days of that action for it to be called war?

Why do you people keep saying we are at war?

Based off of this posed I know for a fact that you have never accused to Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump or Biden of getting us into a war.

If you’re using conventional military forces to target military and political targets with deadly force, it’s a war. It might be a small war, a short war, an undeclared war, but it’s still a war.

None of the above have gotten us into a declared war.

It’s important to note the context of what we’re talking about to the OP

It’s not. Unless you want to be a liberal and just change definitions and words to fit your agenda. There’s no such thing as an illegal immigrant. They’re undocumented migrants. Gender is a social construct. There’s really no such thing as a man or woman.

There is no threshold. The definition is armed conflict between to nations or parties. It’s very simple.

So you would agree that none of the above are warmongers?

Why does it have to be conventional military forces?

Congress is officially castrated now when it comes to war
Congress has been impotent since it passed the War Powers Act in the 70s. If it wanted to not be impotent it would pass a tougher War Powers Act which does not give POTUS the ability to wage war for 60 days without Congressional authorization.

Because otherwise, it’s just terrorism/counter terrorism and espionage, or a cold war vs a hot one.

Unconstitutional wars initiated by executive decree is the new norm.
It’s not the “new” norm. It’s been that way for at least 60+ years or so.
Congress has long ago abdicated their responsibilities.

So we haven’t been fighting a Global War on Terror. I guess we have to take all those medals back.
I’ll agree with you on espionage though.

We are at war.
But no one has violated the War Power Act. Trump has officially notified Congress. That's all that is Constitutionally required at this point. From that point the POTUS has 90 days to get in and out of whatever the conflict is before Congress is needed to declare war.
Why people don't know this is what baffles me.
