I believe the US were at least online, though...
I wonder if, preferable to this, would be some kind of rapid response system which (1) protected cities for a short time (2) allowed ships from nearby locations to respond to friend distress hails or enemy warp detections based on ship policy, ideally arriving during the protected time.
The problem with war declaration is that both sides may still face insurmountable timezone problems throughout the conflict, leading to unnecessarily dramatic loss of cities for all sides compared to their armed forces' strength.
