What's the point of declaring war in a war?

Russia invaded Ukraine just fine without ever declaring war.

As long as the EUpeans don't drag me, my loved ones, or my taxes into a war with Russia I couldn't care less if any this is declared or not nor do I care if they torpedo Russian ships.

However, I also couldn't care less if the Russians Oreshniks Liverpool or Marseille.

Fair enough, you do you.

Meanwhile, we'll be protecting your loved ones.

Pray, from what?

And please don't flatter yourself. Europe couldn't field an army of a 100 000 riflemen if you put all of the EU countries together.

Honestly, neither can Russia, unless you count 100 000 random men + 90 000 rusty rifles as "riflemen".
Then y'all don't need us to come over.
Well you did when you requested help for Iraq and Afghanistan so ....
