Russian President Vladimir Putin waited ten months after invading Ukraine before acknowledging his country was at war, while US President Donald Trump refuses to admit to a war in which 50,000 American troops, 19 warships, and two aircraft carriers are engaged.

It took the Russian President Vladimir Putin 10 full months after his invasion of Ukraine to call what his country was engaged in a war.

Even then, the word could only be used by him. Anyone else could get up to 15 years in prison for "disseminating false information".

Six months after his second attack on Iran, US President Donald Trump is still in la-la land about the war from which he cannot extricate himself, nor 50,000 troops, 19 warships and two aircraft carriers.

Whatever these forces are engaged in, it's not a war.
