We're at war with North Korea?

UNITED NATIONS/BEIJING/SEOUL, Sept 25 (Reuters) - North Korea’s foreign minister said on Monday that President Donald Trump had declared war on North Korea and that Pyongyang reserves the right to take countermeasures, including shooting down U.S. bombers even if they are not in its air space.
“The whole world should clearly remember it was the U.S. who first declared war on our country,” Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho told reporters in New York.
“Since the United States declared war on our country, we will have every right to make countermeasures, including the right to shoot down United States strategic bombers even when they are not inside the airspace border of our country,” Ri said.
“The question of who won’t be around much longer will be answered then,” Ri said in a direct reference to a Twitter post by Trump on Saturday.
The increasingly heated rhetoric between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is raising fears of a risk of a miscalculation by one side or the other that could have massive repercussions.
China called on Monday for all sides in the North Korea missile crisis to show restraint and not “add oil to the flames.”
Ri told the U.N. General Assembly on Saturday that targeting the U.S. mainland with its rockets was inevitable after “Mr Evil President” Trump called Kim a “rocket man” on a suicide mission.
“Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N. If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won’t be around much longer!” Trump said on Twitter on Saturday.
North Korea, which has pursued its missile and nuclear programs in defiance of international condemnation and economic sanctions, said it “bitterly condemned the reckless remarks” of Trump. They were an “intolerable insult to the Korean people” and a declaration of war, the North’s official news agency said on Monday.

Re: We're at war with North Korea?
Legit question--does this need to be discussed on here, or can it be discussed on a more general interest board?
This would mean that people who don't like to be confronted with "politics" -whatever that means to them, might have to see that north Korea just addressed the U.N. and called an attack on our continent inevitable.
Can we get past political disputes and talk about this live, existential threat and how it is being handled?

I don't think it ever formally ended with North Korea, right? I remember learning that on my trip to the DMZ.

Re: We're at war with North Korea?
Of course this is a legit concern for general discussion; it's f***ing scary. But maybe we're all just a bunch of sore losers being overdramatic and failing to acknowledge a single good thing POTUS has done for goodness sake! Why move this when this board is such a great source of entertainment?
