If Mexico bombed area 51 with bunker busters and stealth planes, it would be interpreted as a declaration of war.

By anyone. The world over.

If you're seriously saying this isn't war, bombing Iran, you're just engaging in willfull self deception at this point.

I don’t recall USA saying death to Mexico

So if we change the example to Canada, responding to threats of annexation, you'l engage on the point in substance?

I didn't know the US envisions throwing Mexicans and Canadians to the sea (at best)

Squint a bit harder and see if US toppled a democratically elected government in Mexico and installed a cruel dictator for oil? And shot down a civilian flight from Mexico? Maybe not.
