Kim Jong Un will try something very spectacular and frighten my bold right during Trump’s visit to Tokyo in two weeks. Just knowing his spite and mentality. If there are any evacuation movements, we will know “it’s on.” Just my Intuition.

The more things change the more they stay the same.its just unfortunate that the USAF disbanded the Stratigic Air Command as a cost saving measure in 1992.SAC’s purpose in being was to launch effective long range nuclear attacks and to provide a deterant to other nuclear powers.

All we have today is the Air Force Strategic Command and its not even close to the capabilities that SAC presented during its period of operations.

SAC at the time was the most professional Command in the USAF.it had to be.The nations safety required it.

The name, General Goldfein, sounds like a character from a James Bond Movie.

This helps explain the pilot recall to active duty.

Easier to train and qualify BUFF pilots and crew than fighter pilots.

In practical reality, those 50+ year old bombers can take nearly half a day to reach their targets; SLBMs can be there in a matter of minutes. They do make a good display, though.

“This is the latest defensive move from the US military, matching the bellicose threats that President Trump has posted on Twitter,....”
