Reply to comment by Few_Advisor3536 in Japan eyes using enemy base strike capability with U.S. by Saltedline

Since the Korean War was a war between North and South Korea, and this hypothetical situation was about a missile hitting Japan, I’m going to assume no.

Others have pointed out the Korean War had not technically ended. If North Korea did attack Japan, depending on the United Nations declaration that led to combat, the war may simply continue due to a violation of the armistice.

In this case, America would be vulnerable as an existing combatant. At the same time, America could strike as an existing combatant.

Are we really this close to a hot war? Anyone know better?
