US & South Korea carry out chilling 'MAX THUNDER' military drills in huge warning to Kim

THE US and South Korea have carried out a series of chilling military drills in a devastating response to Kim Jong-un’s missiles tests.

The allies undertook a military exercise, codenamed Max Thunder, in a bid to “sharpen tactical skills” and “test aerial combat capability”.

Around 1,000 US airmen and fighter jets have teamed up with the South Korean Air Force in a joint combat training to ensure they are ready to combat the North’s provocations, the Pacific Command (PACOM) announced today.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump tweeted: “Our military is building and is rapidly becoming stronger than ever before. Frankly, we have no choice!”

North Korea’s latest missile test was a failure as it exploded seconds after it was set off in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The reclusive state’s media has made no comment on the launch, which analysts say is normal for the Pyongyang regime when things go awry.

On Saturday Choe Ryong Hae, a close aide to Kim Jong-un said: “If the United States wages reckless provocation against us, our revolutionary power will instantly counter with annihilating strike, and we will respond to full-out war with full-out war and to nuclear war with our style of nuclear strike warfare.”

I always suspected that Miley Cyrus copied that inane facial expression from Linda Graham.

"The mouse that roared. Kim wants money."

Or Glasnost with South Korea, that is my guess w/ PDJT at the hem. Give up your Nukes, everyone trades with you. I feel it in my gut just like I knew "The Donald" would win...

'....everyone trades with you....'

I think that is a winner. His people are eating dirt, literally. The sane leaders in NK must be desperate.
