USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier group has arrived in waters near the Korean peninsula, where it will join the USS Michigan, a guided missile submarine that docked in South Korea on Tuesday.

Upon arrival today, the carrier kicked off a joint drill with the South Korean navy.

A defence ministry spokesman said: “Immediately after the aircraft carrier arrived in the Sea of Japan, South Korea and the US strike forces launched a drill from 6pm Saturday.”

The drill came hours after the North launched a ballistic missile in apparent defiance of a concerted US push for tougher international sanctions to curb Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons ambitions.

Part of America's Great White Fleet is in the vicinity of the Korean Peninsula....

I might not have agreed with everything that Theodore Roosevelt did, but
projection of US power in the open seas, and especially to Japan at that time,
was a very good public relations move.

North Korea's Fatboi is going to have to get up to speed very, very quickly on
current geopolitical considerations.

“Immediately after the aircraft carrier arrived in the Sea of Japan, South Korea and the US strike forces launched a drill from 6pm Saturday.”

And for these drills... Russia and china are now making demands they stop these drills before they move further with Kim.

Looks like China and Russia are going to protect Kim after all....in order to keep their buffer zone.

Trump likely knew this possibly would come....but we’ll see now where this goes......he may just pull them back to see if China does or not stop Kim....I would pull away...it’s going to smoke out China’s real intentions or not.

.....”just get it over with”....

Get what over with???? If it were that easy it would have been done decades ago and we wouldn’t still be straddling issues with N..Korea.

The ONLY thing holding things back really from all out war between the North and South is the cease fire...they are still at war if either side chooses to act.

So here we are with Russia and China defending the North...and the USA defending the South....once again....50 yrs later.

It looks like President Trump is waving a red flag in the fat boys face and daring him to do something.

None of this display of power by the US and allies will deter NK from making a successful ICBM with nuke. This is useless as has been the past has proven. NK must be destroyed and the land returned to South Korea as one Country, Korea.

The hell with Russia and China. If those fools want war then they will destroy the Planet. They should just shut up and work on rebuilding their problem Countries. Or are they just to stupid to see the hand righting on the wall.
