you don’t consider this a war unless both countries explicitly declare war on the other?

An invasion sure, but not technically a war.

Ok, then I guess I have no response. I disagree, but I doubt either of us is going to convince the other. I will just say, if something is functionally a war I believe it should be considered a war, regardless of if the parties to the conflict are calling it that.
