In 1982 we were told we were in conflict with Argentina, not at war. In Russia right now they’re still being told a special military operation is underway on the territory of Ukraine. A state of war does not exist, apparently.

Declarations of war went right out of fashion in the middle of the last century. But this walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, and we refrain from calling it a duck only because nobody wants to end up barbecued, crispy and shredded.
