Oh I already know about our "special operations" without declaring all out war.Operation earnest will,Somolia,Iraq,Bosnia,Lybia,...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Special_Operations_Command
You probably meant the Russian one though.
The difference when it comes to China is that we have recognized a one China policy for a very long time. Not saying we won't get involved,but the cost would be very high. Where are we going to get all our made in China crap from?
Russia can call it anything they want but it's looking more like a war with Ukraine.
