U.S. bombers and fighter jets buzzed North Korea in what the Pentagon billed as one of the most significant shows of force this century.
“This is the farthest north of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) any U.S. fighter or bomber aircraft have flown off North Korea’s coast in the 21st century, underscoring the seriousness with which we take [the North Korean regime’s] reckless behavior,” Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in a statement Saturday.
The U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers deployed from Guam, a U.S. territory in the region that North Korean officials have threatened to attack in recent months. The bombers were escorted by F-15 fighters that took off from Okinawa. The bombers and their escort stayed in international airspace, according to the Defense Department.
“This mission is a demonstration of U.S. resolve and a clear message that the president has many military options to defeat any threat,” White said.
To paraphrase our President…
Get that son of a bitch off the planet!
And NoKo response with something like, “rockets to the US are inevitable.”
Seriously! They said this!
US response: “Yeah, whatever. Buh bye, NoKo.” BOOM!
I hope our allies are doing the same thing. Why do we always have to be the cop on the beat.
I don’t follow sports but according to Drudge, Trump is going after the NFL.
They are going to pull the race card in 3 2 1
Wow! How effective! Flying planes about. Up next, we’ll talk shit on Twitter!
This is like virgins discussing sex.
What is actually happening between us and NK we don’t know. And I’m good with that. Donald will deal with the fat kid that is pissing his pants to sit at the table with the grown ups.
You don’t want me to be the CIC. I’d off that mouthy motherfucker.
How about a MOAB on the NK launch pad? Take out misleading, etc.
Next? Kim chi go boom?
What people fail to realize is that the little fat ass is putting his relatives into those nosecones of the rockets he’s firing off.
Because that’s the way he is.
I still bet his closest leadership will knock him off eventually.
Cut the bussing, start the bombing.
Send the message to all the world’s bad actors.
NoKo has been begging for it since the 80s.
Tomorrow our Navy is going to drive our ships around in the water REALLY fast, and sneer in their general direction.
That’ll show ’em!
Technically, the Korean War never ended.
That little pud, Kim Dung, may be the one to end the war by killing all his own people first.
The most I learned about NO was from watching M.A.S.H. back in the 80s…so my suggestion would be to BLAST the theme song (“Suicide is Painless”–and yes, I know that was a character in the film!) from unidirectional speakers pointed toward Pyongyang 24/7/365. It will drive them nutzoid!
The power of suggestion is a mighty thing!!!
