Untimely for him .... way past time for the rest of the world!

Norks just want us to write them an occasional check. When the money runs out, they start rattling their swords again.
I would put them in Japan if they would allow it. I wouldn’t want our hardware on the peninsula.
Those are just props. All Trump needs is the coordinates for the dinning room at the palace and one bomb.
Teetering? Methinks that's a little severe.
Parking a boomer off the coast would negate the need for the bombers but the bombers send a message. The boomer hides with pride!
Kinda what I thought too.
I think the article is saying that we’re sending more aircraft than might be required for the exercise, or that the move is uncharacteristic of such exercises i.e. maybe the aircraft normally stage out of Japan or Alaska but this time they’re in-country. I hope the runway they’re staging from lets them climb out headed North, and that they wait until the last minute to turn away from NK airspace. Maybe watching a steady stream of fully-loaded B-52s will dampen the NorKs enthusiasm for punching the US in the nose.
My folks used to live near Westover AFB back in the 60s when it was still SAC, and my dad told me of the time that he was out in the garden, and felt a terrible presence behind him. He turned to see what appeared to be an all-black B-52 coming overhead very low, with all engines throttled down. He almost couldn’t hear it, even though it couldn’t have been more than a thousand feet up, just gliding in on a very shallow final to the base about 15 miles away. He said it was the closest thing he’d ever seen to the Angel of Death, and he was a Marine i.e. not easily rattled.
Who says there isn’t already a Boomer parked up there somewhere?
Well, in fact, are we?
I also heard, on John Batchelor, that we are deploying anti-ballistic missile systems to South Korea, and it's freaking out both the Chicoms and the Norks.
Yes, it wouldn’t be hard to get rid of him, but then who would be calling the shots? Very dangerous. This is exactly why we have such a mess in the ME now since Obama did such there.
Shhhhh...loose lips sink ships!
More than technically.
The headline was WORDED like that to make a point. B52’s can perform a number of roles.
I would place them in Guam. Within range for a strike but enough distance to scramble if the Norks do a surprise missile attack.
Treaty limited the numbers. We have been slicing them up in the desert for years.
I think so. Just like we are still at war with the Seminole Indians in Florida.
It’s really about time that guy got bit** slapped. I’ve been tired of us putting up with these ankle biters for decades.
Like.
