NORTH Korea better be watching its back today as thousands of US troops and 230 warplanes descend on Kim Jong-un’s doorstep.
Vigilant Ace – a massive joint war games – kicks off today as the US and South Korea rehearse for battle with Pyongyang.
Hundreds of aircraft and thousands of soldiers and airmen are taking part in the drill, which is one of the biggest ever of its kind.
US and South Korean forces will be rehearsing for a full-scale war with North Korea.
Nuclear fears have reignited as Kim fired his latest missile last week – his biggest and most powerful yet, the Hwasong-15.
And there now fears Kim could be readying the dreaded Juche Bird, his most shocking weapons test to date. US President Donald Trump will be looking to flex his muscles as he dispatches his most deadly fighter planes to ready for war in Vigilant Ace.

YES! Time to put that fat loud-mouthed turd in his place.
If that NK soldier risked his life running across the DMZ you know DAMN well that he isn’t the only NK soldier thinking the same thing.
My bet is the NK regulars don’t want to fight. They want to run and KJI and his military leadership know this.
Hence the rhetoric and nuclear escalation.
While I personally want to believe these are acts of posturing, the less blinded I become the more it seems a new war on the Korean peninsula is likely. Prayers for their people and our troops.
NK is about to come apart and the leadership know it.
Time to take care of the family’s business.
1/4 of the required aircraft and 1/10 of the required troops to do this job.
Absent a nuclear preemption.
I’ve got a bird for fat boy.
We could take this bastard out by sending in a dozen mercenaries to wack him and his generals. Why waste all of those resources on a petulant child?

I hope there’s no accidents. Not a very good track record these days. It would look and be very bad to lose a couple dozen soldiers doing this.
Prayers
My thoughts exactly.
We hear talk that our anti-missile "Star Wars" defenses can possibly take out missiles in the boost phase, intermediate phase, and descent phase. That may be true, but our Tomahawk cruise missiles can certainly take out missiles in their "sitting on the launch pad" phase. Since Kim has already threatened the entire US with these missiles, it seems to me that that's the 'phase' we should start with.
We should have never gotten involved in Korea. It was the UN sticking its nose into it and the U.S. bearing the brunt of the costs and military.
If the commies would have overrun it, who cares? They overran South Vietnam but look what has happen, as it happens with all communist or socialist nations.
They turn to capitalism to sustain itself!
So right now Korea would be a unified peninsula with a free market economy. Sure they would maybe have the rulers with the communist mindset, but at least the people of NK wouldn't be starving or locked in brutal labor camps.
The armchair generals are weighing in...
Agree! We should be destroying the pad as NK preps them for launch. Since they’ve already fired missiles over Allies territory, the Casus belli already exists.
Fake headline sure sucked me in.
Although I’m not expert in such matters it seems to me that this would be a job for the Navy and Air Force.
This was a pre-planned exercise.
It appears we have been doing “Vigilant Ace” joint operations for a number of years.
The headline is over-hyped sensationalism.
LOL. I didn't even notice it until after the post!
I knew we were getting ready for drills so assumed that is what the report was about.
Yes prayers for our troops and all the inhabitants of that area. I wish a NK coup could be instigated.
