We are objectively dominating, in fact it's already dominated, they're just cleaning up stragglers and dismantling their military industrial base so it doesn't come back for a couple decades.
But that doesn't solve the short-term SoH problem, while there *are* ways to address that, it wasn't apparent what the plan is from the State of the War address.

Besides that point we dominated Iraq and Afghanistan as well but one could argue pretty easily it didn’t go so well after we dominated them militarily. Different situations, so far, but still. Maybe we hold back the dominating talk until this stupidity is over.

Maybe spoke too soon? I can’t confirm yet but it looks like an F-15 was shot down, an A-10, and a couple of Pavelows were hurt trying to rescue. Then, separately, a military intelligence article came out describing they may still have 50% of their missile capabilities and drones.

And we lost two planes? So what? The trade was their entire air force and navy.
This is a war (not one that I was in favor of but we're in it now).

Lot of ways that could happen. Since it didn't happen for the first 4-5 weeks my guess is that somebody got a bit complacent (not necessarily pilots, could have been intel or planners set them up to fail).

It is my understanding only congress has the power to declare war.

technically they haven’t exited CH 11 yet?[/QUOTE]
Because survival is still in jeopardy. IMHO NK still doesn’t have a solid survivable business plan.
Pilots are still bailing out, paying 200% to keep jets flying, operation is still losing money prior to high fuel and double pay. Cost and loss enormously high. Cancelled flights continue to **** off customers. More revenue loss from those flights.
NK model used to be low pay, low fares, high growth. Very different today. Pollyanna pilot boasts about how much money he’s making while NK continues to bleed. It’s not good right now at NK despite those trying to say it is.
