A reminder of what "war" actually is:
Law of War, Chapter 1.5
"War" as a Legal Concept
"As a legal concept, “war” has traditionally been viewed as a condition in which a State is prosecuting its rights by military force, usually against another State. However, the precise definition of “war” often depends on the specific legal context in which it is used."
Footnote 68:
1956 FM 27-10 (Change No. 1 1976) ¶8 (“While it is usually accompanied by the commission of acts of violence, a state of war may exist prior to or subsequent to the use of force.”); VII MOORE’S DIGEST 153 (“Much confusion may be avoided by bearing in mind the fact that by the term war is meant not the mere employment of force, but the existence of the legal condition of things in which rights are or may be prosecuted by force.”); GROTIUS, LAW OF WAR & PEACE 33 (1.1.2.1) (“war is the condition of those contending by force”).
