[QUOTE=Sableye;40823316](officially we are still at war with north korea, with a peace treaty i guess we can stop being at war)[/QUOTE]
Yeah but that's only for 10 turns, so don't get your hopes up.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;40823390]both of which are completely separate from a state of war. the armistice brought an end to the korean war. they are not formally at war, they are also not formally at peace.

basically the usa and north korea have no diplomatic relations and are on high alert. however, they aren't at war because war is a formal thing that gets declared and ended with an armistice or(more commonly) a peace treaty.[/QUOTE]
The armistice was a ceasefire to the war. Its like saying a game stops when someone says "brb". It doesn't.

Didn't you also say that WW2 started in 1931?
Thanks... Obama?
[QUOTE=Phaselancer;40826507]Thanks... Obama?[/QUOTE]
nope
thanks dennis rodman
I win the bet.
What the hell is NK going to do with their oversized military if there's a peace treaty?
All those soldiers will no longer have a job to pretend to do.

when in rome
i don't know why this is rated funny?
i think it's good, even though NK is ridiculous, it's nice to see the tension is gone and their borders are given a break.
i don't think you guys consider how many people it probably scared/worried.
[QUOTE=Ta16;40825420]Since I'm probably the only person here who was an active participant in Foal Eagle 11 and 13, I'll explain a few things. Foal Eagle is an annual exercise, that has occured every year since 1997 (this year they pretended to make a big deal about it, as if FE is something new). It is an entirely defensive exercise in order to improve bilateral naval warfighting between RoK and the US in the event of a Full North Korean offensive, basically a drill on how well the RoK could defend itself with US assistance in the event shit goes down. The Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission, watches the exercise to ensure the Armistice isn't breached in any way.[/QUOTE]
>former military
>facepunch
I swear NK beg for peace treaties as often as they threaten to nuke everyone's shit
North Korea monthly schedule :
1. Gibe food
2. We are going to nuke you!!!
3. Hey, hey guys ???
4. OK NUKE FOR REAL NOW ?!
5. Nonono, peace bro.

They removed the military infobox though, no fun was allowed.
You can look through the history to see it I guess.
"At one stage Meredith even went so far as to mount one of the guns on a truck: a move that proved to be ineffective, as the truck was both unable to gain on the birds and the ride was so rough that the gunner was unable to fire any shots."
is this the first example of a technical being used?
[QUOTE=yawmwen;40823345]yea it did with the signing of that armistice.
it would be ridiculous to say that the korean war has gone on for over 50 years. besides a couple incidents, there hasn't been any actual warring going on.[/QUOTE]
It's not because there is no official diplomatic relations between the two countries, unlike Russia and Japan. There is no peace.
They must want some more food this time around
[QUOTE=yawmwen;40827317]ww2 is still going on then.
1937[/QUOTE]
WW2 is technically still going on between Japan and Russia. They're still kind of disagreeing over who owns island chains.

I don't think empty threats are acts of war.
