The United States has reportedly sent F-22 stealth fighter jets to South Korea to join Seoul forces in military drills as North Korea warns the Korean Peninsula has entered "a state of war."
The F-22 Raptors were deployed to Osan Air Base in South Korea from Japan on Sunday to support ongoing U.S.-South Korean military drills, Reuters reports.
North Korea has increased its threatening rhetoric in recent weeks, including vowing to launch a nuclear strike on Washington. In a statement released Sunday, U.S. military in South Korea urged North Korea to restrain itself.
"(North Korea) will achieve nothing by threats or provocations, which will only further isolate North Korea and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in Northeast Asia," the statement said.
Meanwhile, North Korea said Saturday its armed forces, "will blow up U.S. bases for aggression in its mainland and in the Pacific operational theatres including Hawaii and Guam."

Boy I sure hope we don’t run out...
I wonder if this NORK stuff has been orchestrated to see if we would deploy the F 22 and B2 and give the ChiComs an up close and personal look at the platforms in operation.
As I recall GW swore that the NorKs would not be allowed to get Nukes, and gave them billions to make sure they didn’t go Nuke.
We don't have a MacArthur any more.
F-22s, eh? How many of those units have we bought, anyway? 6-7?
