None of the US wars since WWII have been formally declared wars. They're still wars.

The conflict with North Korea ended with an armistice, not a formal treaty. The armistice intended for peace treaty discussions to start 3 months later... and they never really did.

The US, UN Command, and North Korea are still operating under a temporary cease-fire that's now basically 70 years old. (I don't think South Korea even signed the armistice).

If you're technically not at war then you can't at the same time be technically still at war. Neither side declared war against the other or is currently acting like they are at war, thus they aren't at war.

They are technically at war[0].

> acting like they are at war, thus they aren't at war

It matters legally that you are technically at war even if you aren't acting like it. It allows the specific wartime actions.

South Korea this matters and the UN as well. North Korea is actively sanctioned as a result of not being at peace.

I would add to the “at war” column: the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) grants membership to any US service members who have been stationed in South Korea.

Looks like every man and his dog is an expert on North Koreans. Did it occur to you that most citizen there are hostages of the own state and may be fighting hard to get a piece of bread on the table? I highly doubt they give a shit to the US, or the internet or the hacker wars of any kind.

somehow, I don't think that those are the people that are being targeted. it's the "elite" who actually have internet access, and can also eat.

those who make the decisions, and those who are friends of those who make the decisions would be the ones affected by the internet being down, not those who can barely eat and obviously don't have internet access.

So then you're the expert on North Koreans' lives I suppose. Unlike the other fakers who are saying things you dislike.
