Media and lots of people using the term “We are at War”

I guess I think a little different when it comes to “war”. We have not declared war on Iran and they, as far as I know have not declared war on us. This is called “Operation Epic Fury”.
It’s more like a military operation such as Venezuela, Panama, Grenada, but admittedly much more in depth. However, the actual “Hot” part of the operation was very short, not like Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam Nam, Korea or the World Wars.
I believe 13 soldiers have been killed, 7 in Kuwait from a drone attack and 6 when a KC-135 crashed in a non-hostile situation.
Are we at war? Is this a media driven term to try to upset people, harm the economy or make the Administration look bad. Is it pushed to give talking points for the upcoming mid-term elections.

Has Congress declared war?

Exactly. The media is doing everything they can to make everyone panic over an operation that has lost 13 lives where 6 of which were basically training accident. What is going to happen when this country truly has to go to war? The ruling/Epstein/media class of this country will sell us out to the highest bidder.

The media should highlight the loss of life in Ukraine and Russia and see how that goes.

Yes and no.

Yes. It's the anti-Trump playbook, established in 2016 and still firing on all cylinders.

Absolutely, right along with the "bLuMpF hAs LoSt tEh MaGa bAsE" narrative being put out there to divide and confuse conservative voters. It's effective propaganda still, though far less than it was a few years ago since Trump didn't ruin the planet in his first term like everyone said he would.
Trump-endorsed candidates just absolutely cleaned up and wrecked shop in the primaries- a showing that is indicative that Trump has potentially more clout than ever before and the voting base still overwhelmingly trusts him (in spite of the narrative). The proof is the results.
*No intent to derail, just a juxtaposition.

The media is rooting for Iran.

So is the anti Trump group on here.

Crying about the media calling it a war when the secretary of the department of war has called it a war countless times is peak cult behavior.

OH they've completely forgotten about that one. Like they all just called a time-out and thousands just quit getting killed. Pathetic.

So you don’t think there have been any wars since World War Two?

Thats cute. I don't care what they call it, just don't act like its the second coming of Vietnam. Which is exactly what you people have been doing. LIke this has been the bloodiest time in American history. GMFB

This is classic MAGA where they say 20 different things, many of them competing ("it's not a war" -- "well, it's a war, but it's a 47 year that we didn't start"), then grab what they want later.

You seem upset that we're not at war with a country that has been at war with us for 47 years.

Our military is attacking another country, its government, and its civilians. Do you want to call it a birthday party? Having brunch? Playing Yahtzee?
What’s the point of playing these semantics games? Are you trying to claim our military is not engaged in an attacks against a foreign country? What would be the point of that?

We are not at war.
Yes, they are using that verbology in an effort to stoke strife at the behest of their NWO Globalist puppet masters.
If we are "at war" with anyone, anybody, it is that we are at war with the Marxo-Commies on the left in our own country.
And that ^^^^^ is a far more deadly serious war than Iran, at the moment.

If we’re going back that far, we started it in 1953.
