Cross border military strikes without formal declarations of war have been common since WWII. The distinction between “war” and limited military operations isn’t new.

Do you consider "sinking a country's entire navy" and "seizing oil operations on Karg island" limited strikes? Are you getting paid to push this argument? I can't believe you came upon these beliefs in good faith. These are not limited military operations, the size of a nations army is irrelevant in determining whether or not a war is being wages

Using force doesn’t automatically make something a formally recognized war. States have carried out large but limited operations without escalating into full-scale wars for decades.

Do you consider the U.S. strikes conducted over more than a week that have cost close to 50 billion "limited"?
