Countries stopped doing declarations of war decades ago, cause you know, war is not something _we_ do, it's something bad people do.

_We_ do special operations, interventions, liberations, preventive strikes, weapon destructions.

And then you make movies on how you were the good guys, and that's how we all will remember it.

		I'm all for a collective change there, so every foreign movie just ends in the same deus ex machina moment: every protagonist gets bombed out of existence. Might get repetitive after a while, but I guess that's the idea.

Also the enemy is always a guerrilla, terrorist, or a rebel and works for a regime, dictator, or king.
