Such is the state of world affairs that it was news today when Sarah Sanders the White House press secretary told reporters that, no, the US has not declared war on North Korea.
There had been some confusion among the North Koreans.
North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho today accused US President Donald Trump of declaring war on his country by tweeting over the weekend that North Korea "won't be around much longer."
But it's a funny thing, how the US government works, despite being engaged in numerous armed conflicts costing hundreds of thousands of American lives, the US hasn't actually declared war on another country since 1942, when the US declared war on Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania during World War II.
The North Koreans could be forgiven for misinterpreting Trump's bellicose pledge to bring "fire and fury" against them if they continued to threaten the US.
