Well, if they hold back, and we or an ally are subsequently attacked, any bloodshed that COULD HAVE been prevented will be on congress critter hands and heads.
ACLU now protecting the rights of Norks
Next we will be hearing from Morris Dees and the SPLC stating that Trump is a hate group if he tells fat boi he’s too fat.

The American people strongly urge the ACLU to hop the first boxcar on a hellbound train.
...zzzzzzzzzz....
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the United States Constitution, sometimes referred to as the War Powers Clause, vests in the Congress the exclusive power to declare war, in the following wording:
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
If they’d grant me a Letter of Marque and Reprisal I’d seize the North Korean Rare Earth Mineral mines next week. I’m sure I could get the financing.
Herbie Popnecker! Save us!
Wrong. He can go anywhere in the world but has to report it to Congress in 60 days. It is call the War Powers Resolution:

Obama attacked Libya and then did not report it to Congress in the 60 days required because his lawyers said the ‘action’ did not meet the requirement of the law.
So even the ACLU is in the business of #FakeNews.

I don’t think we need to worry about congress.
Trump is likely only to go to war if North Korea launches a weapon against the united State, or Japan.
In which case congress will have no trouble declaring war, not that trump will need more than 90 days to wipe out most of North Korea.
Trump is just talking tough at North Korea in hopes of avoiding said conflict.
The truth is Obama’s military isn’t ready for a conflict with even a simi-serous enemy like North Korea. Too many bad generals and troops trained and spoid by decades of only fighting enemies who couldn’t offer a real fight.
North Korea won’t be anything like any of them, North Korea will be a world War 2 style enemy capable of inflicting massive casualties and requiring our army to be on the move constantly every 2 hours to avoid being destroyed.
North Korea will require brutal bunker fights town by town, inch by inch. Casualties will be very high, like that of the first Korean war, or Vietnam.
The current U.S. army and public will not stumic it short of an outright attack. And even then its doubtful many of our current generals and soldures spoiled by decades of easy war against enemies who really couldn’t shoot back have the skill to fight such an enemy.
Why does everyone here forget that South Korea has an Army? Their military is very capable, well-equipped and well-trained. Most countries in the world would back down from the ROK Army in a New York minute. During both my tours, especially the first, I served side-by-side with ROK soldiers. They are almost on par with Israeli or Foreign Legion forces. They are also healthier, bigger, taller and better educated than North Korean soldiers.
Who are these turds anyway?
You’ll have to wake her up to ask her.
ACLU is obviously “defending” that which they know little about.....must be the “new math” type education .....
“Why does everyone here forget that South Korea has an Army?”
I have little doubt the South Korean army can beat North Korea particularity with a little help from Japan and the USA.
I’m not concerned about North Korea wining the war, I’m concerned about north Korea firing a nuke at the USA trying to win or get even.
I am particular concerned about North Korea plans to uses its nuke as a EMP style attack which is likely to kill far more Americans than their entire nuclear arsenal put together even if they could deliver it.
Worse still an EMP attack plan could make uses of one of their existing 2 satellites that pass innocently over the USA, they just need to have a bomb, and the U.S. power grid is out for years if not a decade. 10s of millions will die who depend upon electronic devices to keep them alive. That is everything from pacemakers, dialyses machines, to food distribution and processing systems.
Congressional studies in 2008 warned this was the most likely thing North Korea would try to do to us given their limited resources, and the most devastating. Yet instead of spending the last 8 years hardening our infrastructure and stockpiling transformers Obama practiced ‘strategic pacents’.
