I love the fact that Trump now officially calls Kim Jong Un "Rocket Man". What a world to live in.

Meh.
This one makes sense if you wanna "drain the swamp".  Not so much if you want to "Run the government".

Well yes.  I mean, you've got two people who are used to rich lavish lifestyles, want their country to praise them, and have issues with people telling them what to do, having a pissing contest with nukes.

Yeah, Kim Jung isn't exactly stable and he does need to be dealt with somehow, but another crazy asshole just doesn't sound like the best solution.

So Trump unintentionally declared war on North Korea, according to North Korea, via Twitter.




I want everyone to think about that: A real war started on twitter.  On fucking twitter.

[Pete Svarrior]

Ah, yes, a playground classic. "But Miss, he declared war on me first!"

I'm sure people would have thought the same about the first war to be declared by telegram.

...

But that is how wars are declared. One party feels adequately wronged and considers a country's actions to be an act of war.

"This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin, Nevile Henderson, handed the German Government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock, that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, that a state of war would exist between us.

I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany."

The definition of a declaration of war disagrees with you (you're trying to mix it up with a casus belli for whatever reason), but I'm sure that's only a minor obstacle in your mind.

A declaration of war is a formal act by which one state goes to war against another. The declaration is a performative speech act (or the signing of a document) by an authorized party of a national government, in order to create a state of war between two or more states. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war

a formal announcement by a sovereign or state of the beginning of hostilities against another - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/declaration%20of%20war

"This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin, Nevile Henderson, handed the German Government a final note stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock, that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, that a state of war would exist between us.

I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received, and that consequently this country is at war with Germany."

An excellent example of Britain declaring war on Germany. An explicit and official statement (a declaration, one might say) that they're going to begin hostilities between the two countries (or, as some may call it, go to war).

In other words: No. Chamberlain did not say "Germany declared war on us" because Chamberlain knew how declarations of war work. If North Korea wants to declare war on the USA, that's their prerogative. But the decision on whether or not the USA declares war on North Korea is solely in the remit of the USA.

lol yeah someone forward these definitions let kim and let him know he's not doing it right.  we have to sign the right documents or whatever.

[Roundy]

Please, by NK's standards they declared war on us years ago and have repeatedly done it since. This is just more empty rhetoric.

No I didn't mean "declared via twitter" I mean "He tweeted something that we consider an act of war".  ie. His tweet = assassination of Franz Ferdinand
or
Bombing of Pearl Harbor

That's pretty much what the USA and the UN did. The global community agrees that no war was declared. Why would this be controversial, or something you'd like to oppose?

Besides, do you really think Ghost Spaghetti should be as wrong about things as KJU? Why would you ever use Kim as a barometer for rationality?

Please, by NK's standards they declared war on us years ago and have repeatedly done it since. This is just more empty rhetoric.

Thank Christ, at least one voice of common sense to cling to in the sea of DPRK apologists.

In other news, it's time for more email scandals!
