    Declarations of war are formal documents delivered by a foreign minister to an ambassador and are legally binding.

    Some prat running their mouth, even if they’re a senior governmental official, has never been a legal declaration of war.

      You seriously think that any other world leader in history wouldn’t consider what Vance did a declaration of war because he didn’t file the right paperwork?

      At the very, very least, he would have been militarily escorted out of the country and had his base seized.
