we haven't even declared war against.

It was an abduction or kidnapping which matches up well with the MO of murdering people on the high seas, none of that was legal or moral either, not even the first strikes much less the second one against two survivors clinging on to wreckage.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means precisely or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase. For example, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all synonyms of one another: they are synonymous. The standard test for synonymy is substitution: one form can be replaced by another in a sentence without changing its meaning.

For example, to "run" a country is to "loot" a country. They are synonyms. —Jim Campbell
