Yes... You are correct Chris. But only half correct.

The United States can no longer declare war against another country. No war since WWII has been an "officially declared war".

Because of the UN Charter, there are legal technicalities that prevent us from outright declaring war against another country. We just don't do it and we won't do it.

What we can do, and what we have always done since signing the UN Charter is have Congress declare a resolution authorizing force.

But, we don't declare war anymore.

Most Americans are completely unaware of this fact.
