A war with dprk would be so simple. Kill off the chain of command and the rest of the forces will submit. Realistically, just bomb the fuck out of them until they wave the white flags.
Oh and I bring up the Iraqi Army because 1991 was such a complete shock to the world that it made China [I]completely rethink everything they were doing[/I] because they realized the tanks they expected to be "modern" wouldn't last five seconds against American tanks. They went from "hahaha we'll show the world how advanced we are" to "oh man we're so fucked" literally overnight. Part of the reason why China is so amazing at cyberwarfare is because they invested heavily in stealing our shit just to catch up.
Actually Norinco has pretty much made a Chinese knockoff of a lot of common equipment, vehicles, and weapons in our inventory. They even made their own AR15 to sell on our domestic market, but Clinton cockblocked that. (which subsequently made them shift to Canada)

Would it be that easy? I'm sure there are enough people that would surrender if that were the case but I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of "brainwashed" people is pretty big, causing people to fight even the most one sided war for their great leader.
If we did go to war with north korea, and we asked south korea for help, would they help us? If north korea asked china for help, would china help them? Don't they have some treaty together?
It's rather a shame the thread on Militaryimages died years ago, it had lovely detailed analyses of satellite photos and known North Korean artillery pieces showing that really only the Koksan can hit Seoul from their side of the border, and them things are only tangentially related to the concept of portability. That having been said, North Korea does have a lot of conventional ballistic missiles, roughly estimated to have more than enough to swamp the South's ABMs (which aren't perfect in their accuracy to begin with); though the phrase "fish in a barrel" does come to mind with regards to ROKAF and USAF hunting the launchers down.
I don't think there's any question that North Korea would lose such a war really badly, it's just a question of how many lives of unfortunate sods they can take down with them at the opening of hostilities before getting stomped on.

Any ideological ties died long ago, and they're not exactly a money-maker for China either. If the North initiated aggression, China would probably let them get what's coming to them; harder to say what they'd do if America just up and decides to go gallivanting around the peninsula. Tbh I think any war between the US and North Korea is probably going to automatically involve South Korea.
I'd honestly hope if there was a war with North Korea that they were be a process for rehabilitating its people. No joke, they're probably the most oppressed people in the world who've been brainwashed by some absolutely horrible individuals who have committed hundreds of human rights abuses. I'm not sure what that process would entail - or how you'd even reintegrate North Korea and South Korea. It's certainly not going to be easy easy as German reunification or a hypothetical Untied Ireland - and neither of those cases themselves would be easy. An United Korea would be an absolute nightmare to create.
"How long would the DPRK last in an all-out war?" is such a pointless question, and it seems like it gets asked in every NK thread in order for armchair generals to masturbate over the might of the armed forces of the west (or NK's underdog power in numbers).
Yes, we know NK is vastly inferior in terms of technology and resources but literally nobody (NK included) is interested in re-igniting the war or cleaning up the mess. The NK conflict is a political one at this point.

I remember seeing that north korea had a restaurant chains in china with beautiful waitress. That were forbidden to have any interaction with the client.
You serve, and you fuck off.
But i also heard that the food was pretty bad there.. so..
anyway, they always do that kind of thing, but honestly, they'll never go on a war with the us, and maybe other country because alliance. They are weak, undernourished and their equipment are just bad. And the US also don't want a war with them, because north korea is a mess with a huge debt that even south korea don't want to fusion back with because the cost will be absolutely giant. Everything must be remade there, and don't forget the huge immigration wave of north korean if we even try to open up the border.
You should at least read the quotes in the article OP. You would think with matters of a declaration of war you would bother to get yourself to read more than the headine but I guess that's too much.

It would, killing a soldier's morale does wonders. They'll abandon post, defect, suicide, etc.
That title, You had me for a second.
Ignoring the click-bait title, don't they claim we've declared war on them like every 3 months?
Pretty sure our war with Korea never officially ended, so Kim's declaration is technically redundant.
Yeah, the Korean War 'ended' with a Armistice, a cessation of hostilities, I don't think a formal peace was actually declared.
