"they are not in open war."

They are and they're very clear about it.

They just didn't DECLARE it to keep population naive and calm, ask any of the soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq or wherever about rules of engagement and military rules in theater of operations, yet USA never DECLARED a state of war and is officially "at peace".

Well, maybe a lot of RWBY fans are very young and don't realize but this is how real world works, and I actually like a lot how RWBY is kid-friendly and still is very deep between the lines and cover some real shit without being rethoric or heavy on the matter.
