Actions Which Are Undeniably Declarations of War

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

This is what Trump’s Pentagon had to say after America bombed Iran yesterday.

[Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that America “does not seek war” with Iran in the aftermath of a surprise attack overnight on three of that country’s nuclear sites while Vice President JD Vance said the strikes have given Tehran a renewed chance of negotiating with Washington.]

What is the difference between bombing Iran and bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945? People are killed: some innocent, and some not. Bombing any nation, including retaliation for an attack on our own country is an act of war. Nations and their citizens around the world are angry about these attacks. The were the act of a bully, and a President of the United States.

Using weapons of mass destruction is not the only way in which one nation declares war on another.

In 2016, 2020, and 2024, Russia’s interference in our most sacred democratic process, our right to vote, were declarations of war. Vladimir Putin’s intent to place his own asset in the control of one entire nation is nothing less than an act of war. However, the cowards in Washington ignored the truth, and one entire party continues to celebrate Putin’s efforts.

When an American embassy is attacked, that is a declaration of war. Cyber attacks on our nation’s utilities, communications, and voting machines are declarations of war. Supporting another nation’s war is admitting that our nation agrees with the justification for Israel’s attacks on another sovereign nation. We have become partners with another wannabe dictator, Benjamin Netanyahu.

Fact: the current government of the United States is composed of cowards, hypocrites, pretenders, and incompetents, who are corrupt and lie to the American people constantly without shame.
