They consider everything a declaration of war. We've been feeding half their country for years. The fact that we aren't feeding all of them is an act of war. Just ask Madeline Halfbright.

The pathetic dog eating sonsuvbitches have "jumped the shark"...
They've been revealed as the impotent starving assholes of Asia...still incapable of feeding themselves.....still incapable of generating light or heat to bring comfort to their people outside the large cities......
Just a few miles South, is the vibrant economy and "good life" of South Korea.. Same people, different system, different leader, CAPITALISM, DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM.....
Yet - the stone age communists dance on the end of China's puppet strings and play the fool, threatening the world so that China will not forsake them....
F'em ..

We declared war on North Korea in 1950 - and we've not yet declared peace.

Printing $40 billion dollars of counterfeit currency was a declaration of war.
Saying they will nuke us is a declaration of war.
etc.
etc.

In World War II we didn't declare war on Germany when they invaded France, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. We didn't declare war on them when they bombed London. But we declared war on them on the same day that they declared war on us. Let this be a lesson for Mr. Ronery, once he declares war, there is nothing holding the full power of the US military back.

I think I'm missing something in the equation here? Someone help me out.
N. Korea is developing ICBMs. N. Korea is backed by China and has tacit approval of Russia, (enemy of my enemy school of thought). So, we can't stop N. Korea. Seems obvious to me. Even if we tried, N. Korea would turn S. Korea into a bloody mess before we could neutralize the N. Koreans. Is this part correct?
Given N. Korea will have nuclear ICBM capability, our option is to strengthen missile defense, and keep our ICBMs ready to go. If N. Korea launches against us, we incinerate them. We make it clear it's our policy, put the UN, the Euroweenies, China and Russia on formal notice. One nuclear attack on US soil will reap a full and leathal response. Make sense?
So, it's a new cold war, with N. Korea as a surrogate. I don't see options, does anyone else? Realistic options, sure there's always... "Just nuke them now!" but that won't get the result you'd hope for.

Perhaps they want a war so they can surrender and we can rebuild them and give them lots of aid? (wasn't there a movie to that effect, the Mouse That Roared, maybe?)

Actually the Korean War is in sort of an odd place legally. Truman didn't actually get the authorization of Congress. He just used standing UN resolutions. The last time the US declared war was on June 5, 1942 against Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria. There have been other wars that we have used the War Powers Act or other specific resolutions, but the Korean War was not one of them.
