No we are not. The constitution specifically says that only congress can declare war, and congress has made no such declaration.
- treeman79 5y agoThis is factually true and irrelevant. War is no longer declared; even when taking on actions that normally require war
- BobbyJo 5y agoSo we were never at war with Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Vietnam. Sweet. I guess we're still on our perfect win streak yeah? Edit: I feel bad about being facetious, but I feel like the point is relevant. The US, in a practical sense, does not need congress to ok war. Pointing that out as a reason to doubt the basis for strict treatment of North Korea is like pointing out the speed-limit is 55 when someone travelling 56 gets T-boned.
- dnautics 5y agoHm. There seems to be a correlation between declaring war and winning them.
- rualca 5y ago> No we are not. The constitution specifically says that only congress can declare war, and congress has made no such declaration. Do note that the US never declared war on Iraq, and that did not stopped it from fighting two wars that were very real, both of which with the support of an international coalition.
