We are at war with North Korea

Since June of 1950.
We only have an armistice, not a peace treaty.

By definition, an armistice is not a cessation of conflict but a temporary pause.

The US and South Korea stare across at North Korea and the most heavily armed boarder in the world.

You are absolutely correct that the armistice-- a pause in the fighting-- is all that has held the relative peace together.

However, the United States never officially declared war against North Korea. This is from Wikipedia and I added the emphasis:

In the U.S., the war was initially described by President Harry S. Truman as a "police action" as it was an undeclared military action, conducted under the auspices of the United Nations.

Regardless, Trump is an idiot to be poking the hornets' nest.

Trump is definitely an idiot 😁

I would kindly point you to the National Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington DC:
