Aren’t we still technically at war with North Korea?
The war never ended, only an armistice.

With this congress that is an impossibility.
If I were in Trump’s position, I would call all of my most able advisors for a long and very serious discussion. I’d run all the best suggestions through the “Mix-Master” and see if a viable solution comes out, one which doesn’t involve blowing up the world. If no better solution than military comes forth, and because this has to stop now, I would not hesitate to do that though with much chagrin.
My personal suggestion would be to have a team of friendly operatives within North Korea do away with Kim as well as the six or so lackeys next in line of succession. Let the chips fall where they may and try to make the best of the resulting chaos.
Did Congress declare war on Cuba when JFK put the blockade on Cuba in 1962?
