    Yes but you see, no country has declared war based on the threat of nukes.

    Quarantines are, of course, different. As are special military operations. Of course.

      Oh they haven't? India-Pakistan conflict did not happen then. The Cuban missile crisis didn't happen either. I guess the US hasn't been trying to kill Iran's nuclear program with drone bombings and assassinations either.

      I'd say open a book, but I don't think you have the capacity to benefit from it.

        Zephyreks is being sarcastic by highlighting the US's doublespeak that they employ to wage war without declaring war.

        US policy at the time was that a quarantine was obviously not a blockade and thus not a declaration of war. Obviously.
