In light of everything else that’s going on it’s a distinct possibility.
But I commented because the tweet and title of this post seemed to imply that good food for troops can only mean war. That’s simply not the case. There are a number of reasons you’d want to improve morale with a (comparatively) nice meal. War is only one of them.
Only Congress can declare war, anything else is just a “police action”. That used to actually mean something…in the 1800s. It lost its meaning with good ol’ Teddy Roosevelt.
And well it is 18 hours after your comment now, which came a day after this was posted, and this OP shows a tweet which is… how old? Another day?
Are we at war and I missed the news?

Yeah I’m just backing up your point now that some time has passed. This does indeed appear not to have amounted to anything yet.

Yes it’s a distinction without a difference. You might even say not worth mentioning.
Iran declared war on the US, Israel and Europe. It hasn’t been reciprocated yet.
They said they are “in a war” with those countries, but it sounded like more of a description of fact than a proclamation.
I get there might be some subtlety of difference there, and language matters. But war, war never changes.
There’s a bit more than a nuance between “ I declare war on you!” and “You are making war on me!”
They’ll know if the US declares war alright.
