“We’re not at war with Iran,” Vance said on “Meet the Press.” “We’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program.”

You got a philosopher in the White House who is good at saying war is peace in a thousand different ways.

This was my exact first thought after seeing the announcement

Holding a gun to someone’s head is a good way to get them to agree to peace. I’m not saying it’s right and they might not be happy about it but they will agree. At least for now

I had a game of Civ where Poland declared war on me. They were on the other side of the map.

I didn't see them for 8 turns. Turn 9 I see a horde arrive on my border. Turn 10 - at the earliest opportunity they were able - they asked for peace.

I managed to sink 2 boats.

As a Pole i can confirm, our foreign politics is like that. Except nowadays we just ride USA aggressions so there is no declarations of either war or peace.
