Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

Well, so long as the Secretary of War isn't involved, then it's probably not a war ...
All you Negative Nellies are so eager to dunk on the VP that you can't even hear his point. Sure, there's a "conflict," sure, our militaries are "shooting and bombing and trying to kill each other," but you've missed the important thing, which is all the peace that's happening. See, there was a moment of peace just then. And here's another moment when no one is shooting now. And here -- uh wait, wait just a moment -- here's another moment of peace now.
The Vietnam war was also not called a war, it was called a police action. It seems the Executive Branch's ability to wage war without congress's approval is a constitutional loophole.
Edited for clarity
So iran has all the power
Even G.W. knew better than to try and take Iran. And he put us in two forever wars!
A special military operation maybe.
Just for a three days.
Ah. Say you're a war mongering dictatorship without saying you're the same as Putin and co.
It's a forever ~~war~~ special military operation.
Did Russia forget to defend their trademark?
He's not even a very convincing puppet.
Cnn calling it a conflict in the headline, instead of the war that it actually is, is just proving Vance's false point
CNN has been a shitty, garbage company for at least two decades now.
I think there might have been some difference of opinion between the article+URL author and the editor given the URL says war lol

I'm beyond caring what Trump says now, but I never cared what Vance said.
Edgar Bergen and Mortimer Snerd (Peter Thiel and Shady Vance). Apologies to Edgar Bergen...and Mortimer Snerd.
We can't do shit about it though. Fucking traitors in Congress.
Its a Moneypit.
Republicans would have to pay widows and orphans benefits if it was a war…
Soldiers are just expendable. No cost once they are gone.
Definitely not a war. Just some tit-for-tat shenanigans. A little fun blowing things up. Can't stop the boys getting up to some hijinks now and then.
When what will end?
