We sure choose an odd way to not be at war.



Seems a lot like war.

Technically, I guess.

The administration already said we are at war. I personally don’t mind the way we’re doing it but arguing over phrasing is a dumb way to shoot yourselves in the foot

It's not a war. It's a bit of an arse kicking, but it's not officially a war yet.

Hopefully it will be soon. A lot of that area should be turned to glass.

It’s a “Special Military Operation”.

The biggest arse-whipping America has given any enemy since WWII and they're trying to tell us it's not technically a war. I guess not technically since congress hasn't declared it, but when we assassinate the entire government, top to bottom, of a sovereign nation, bomb their entire navy, and thousands of missile launch sites across the entire country and they respond by killing American troops with bombs to our bases across the middle east, I consider it to be a war.

It's not officially a war in congress's eyes, sure, but this is a war.

Trump and the admin fricked up from the start and I was going to start a thread about it... He and his people called it a war instead of "strategic military operation" or "tactical military strikes and action"

My x timeline is full of people claiming Iran has more missiles than us, is doing massive damage to our interceptors, etc

Any sign that we are legitimately losing this war, and I’m going to get very very concerned that Israel is about to go nuclear.

If the “God’s plan” memo stuff is true, then God help us.

I mean, yea I guess he is right. we bomb shite all of the time all over the world to protect our interest. This time we are just bombing the shite out of shite at a much larger rate and compacity in a more centralized area. But, still not at war. just blowing a lot of shite up.

Where is the proof of these claims?

Sounds like CCP influencers to me

They have no command they’re all dead therefore they have no control, and they have no communication.

They are being erased.

Doublespeak is language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the meaning of words. Unlike simple lying, which tries to hide the truth, doublespeak seeks to make the truth seem more palatable or to shift the listener's perception without them realizing it.

Anyone who says we aren’t at war is either lying or retarded.

You're right. Technically, we are at war. But you'd think everybody here could understand that there can be different levels of engagement. For anybody to imply that this is a war that can even be compared to the level of engagement we experienced in Iraq is simply stupidity on steroids.

But the usual suspects predicted the same dire consequences when we bombed Iran last tear, and also with regards to the Venezuelan operation.

Always predictions of gloom and doom by the TDS crowd. Hell, one poster here wrote 3-4 paragraphs just a day or two ago "proving" that Trump was a pedophile. You people have no shame.

I don't know how many times you guys need to hear it, but he is correct. We aren't at war yet.

Correct me if I'm wrong but congress has not declared war since 1942. If that is the case we haven't had a war since WWII, technically.

Yeah. We're totally not at war because we didn't declare it. This is such a line of bullshite and I'm all in on taking out the mullahs.
