NK has taken it one step further.

According to the Swedish Newspaper aftonbladet.se

NK has threaten to shoot down every bomberplane that flies near the North Korean border.

It was the North Korean Foreign Minister who said this to the press outside his Hotel in New York.

Saying something is not the same as doing something. KJU has said he will level America...woop-de-doo.

But, as was said, emotions can get out of hand for the weaker one. Both are looking for a legitimate excuse. I know the short view will be grim, but, take a look at the long view. I am not going to get into a dissertation about it, but there is a lot to view.

Now, what about Iran? Are/will they be the same? I was on the ground in the Iran/Iraq war; pretty savage on the Iranian side. I earned my shoulder patch quite a few times. Things can get messy in Korea or Iran, or Venezuela in 10 years.

So NK has said America has declared war on them, just one question when was this?

What a load of rubbish.

North Korea vows to shoot down US planes and says Trump 'declared war'

"The whole world should clearly remember it was the US who first declared war," says North Korea's foreign minister.

The response from USA didn't take long.

This time it was Pentagon who wrote this on Twitter

""If North Korea does not stop their provocations, we will (Pentagon) Give the President various options to deal with North Korea, told spokesman for Pentagon Colonel Robert Manning.

(Not exact phrase, ´cause I can't find the Twitter from Pentagon)

So the first kid raised his voice and then the other boy did the same. I hope, I want to hope it stay that way-Yelling at each other. What I fear is that one of these two kids take a stone and throw it at the other boy.

Well I came across this..


Quote:

The U.S. Congress never declared war, thereby establishing a precedent.

On June 25, 1950, North Korea launched a full-scale invasion of the South after receiving the go-ahead from Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. Until that point, the United States appeared disinclined to intervene. The year before it had removed its last remaining troops from Korea, and that January U.S. Secretary of State Dean Acheson had given a speech in which he excluded Korea from America’s defense perimeter. Nonetheless, the United States got involved in the Korean War almost immediately. On June 27, as North Korean troops reached the outskirts of Seoul, the South Korean capital, U.S. President Harry S. Truman ordered naval and air forces into action. Then, three days later, he approved the use of ground troops. Though the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war, it did not do so in this case. “If a burglar breaks into your house, you can shoot him without going down to the police station and getting permission,” Senator Tom Connally told Truman when asked if Congressional approval was necessary. As a result, Congress has not formally declared war since World War II.

Believe me, with a person like Trump in office, the last thing we need is a formal declaration of war.

From https://www.reuters.com/article/us-n...-idUSKCN1C026A

Concerning our bomber flights

“That operation was conducted in international airspace, over international waters, so we have the right to fly, sail and operate where legally permissible around the globe,” Pentagon spokesman Colonel Robert Manning said on Monday.

So I guess then North Korea operating/testing in international air/sea space is OK. Right?

Wonder how I shall explain this.

I truly hope all this will end in a diplomatically agreement.

Should it however turn into a war I would if the war stay conventional throughout the whole conflict not be worried.

I know USA would as far as possible try to avoid civilians.

When it comes to NK I fear they will start sending lots and lots of shells towards the Capital of SK. or even worse, when they are pressed up in a corner and see no other way than sending what they have of ICBM and other missiles against SK, JP, USA and Guam.

It would be over in about 2-3 weeks if stay conventional or less than that. If it turn into something more terrible thing the war will be very short.
