You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that a) federations do this, have done so for years, and are not going to change just because you don't like the auto-war declaration that is an intended part of the feature, and b) as ruler, it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the options you are using.
It may not be reasonable to require all 1000-odd players to read all the manual info on the Wiki, but I do not believe it is at all unreasonable to require those very few players who have attained the highest position in the game to learn what the buttons they push are going to do before they push them.
Is it so hard to just add (this results in automatic war) to that button? Or to update the federation broken message to not be so misleading?
Most huge decisions in battle master have a "are you sure you want to do this" section in case of a missclick. Why on earth would an action that can automatically get you into multiple wars be exempt form this?
