Report: Two More U.S. Aircraft Carriers to be Deployed to Korean Peninsula
thegatewaypundit ^ | Carter

Posted on 04/17/2017 5:20:51 PM PDT by davikkm

Zero Hedge reports:

While details are scarce, and we would urge confirmation from US-based sources, Yonhap also reports that according to the government source the operation of three aircraft carriers in the same location is unusual, and demonstrates the US commitment to North Korea. Other sources said the Trump administration is demonstrating deterrence by acting on its behalf. “We expect it to be completely different from the previous administration.”

The U.S. and South Korea, according to a South Korean government official, are discussing joint drills that would ultimately include the three U.S. aircraft carriers and other vessels.

One carrier battle group sends a message.

Three carrier battle groups send bombs.

My guess as to what Trump might have said to Xi at Mira Lago:

1. China wants to avoid a rich, militarilyy powerful, unified Korea on its doorstep.
2. USA/SK want a stop to nasty NUCLEAR threats

Therefore:

1. China withdraws support for NK
2. USA knocks off NK
3. China installs non-nuke puppet regime in new NK

That would seem to me to “make a deal”.

"One carrier battle group sends a message.

I might be a little dated, but I would add that if Diego Garcia is activated, someone is yelling "game over man, game over".

If any more than that show up we’re not leaving until something gets blown up. That’s too much money to spend just to go home.

While it might be true, a report from Zero Hedge is useless. The site is the result of a baby between Infowars and Market Ticker.

I just think in my gut that if we strike, we will strike very, and I mean very hard...the goal would be to obliterate any\all nuclear capability while smoking any conventional response on South Korea and Japan...as far as sending any signals, besides the obvious ones, I would think that Tehran might be realizing that their nuclear efforts might be numbered as well...

Watched Charles Payne on Fox Business Channel this evening and he said this report was not true. I think he said it was confirmed not true.

That fake story came from the Russian propaganda outlet Sputnik first,...

...then through Zero Hedge (one or two Russians there, according to some).

Two or three carrier groups would be enough navy to do China.
