#1 Can we move the ACLU headquarters to Guam?

#3 Just awoke from an 8 year sleep?

Why don't you take that up with Congress run by the Uniparty which has funded wars for that same period. Which is why if you had any concept of the Constitution and it founders, they focused on keeping the standing army and navy small and backed off of alliances so that the Executive couldn't get involved in these things. That was all thrown out in 1948. You're late to the party. See - Thomas Jefferson vs Barbary Pirates, if you like precedent.

#4 Trump's going to have a kinetic military action, it's not a war.

ACLU are obviously racists if they complain...

#6 Technically, you fucknuts, we are already at war. Just in a very long truce and we can fire at any time.

#7 Two points. 1. If we had to wait for Congress to do anything it might happen sometime towards the end of Trumps second term or never. 2. If there were a launch against the U.S., there would not be time to obtain a declaration of war against the Nork's. Are response would be required ASAP.

#8 Darth, technically we are in an armistice. Per Wiki: It was signed by U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Harrison, Jr. representing the United Nations Command (UNC), North Korean General Nam Il representing the Korean People's Army (KPA), and the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army. It doesn't say why S Korea did not sign it.
Seems we were the first to abrogate the treaty by putting nukes in S.Korea in the 60's.
