It doesn’t really matter what you call it. W. and Obama normalized not declaring war on the countries you bomb. It’s become normalized by this point

The US hasn’t declared war since 1942. It goes back way further than W or Obama.

what was declared during korea or vietnam?

Korea was a UN “police action” and Vietnam was a “conflict.”
Crucially, Congress did not formally declare war in either case, nor did they for the Gulf wars, Afghanistan, Iraq, Grenada, etc.
