Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday warned North Korea that U.S. forces are ready to "fight tonight" after the dictatorship condemned military drills taking place in South Korea.

The U.S. and South Korean militaries have resumed springtime drills in South Korea after pausing exercises last February due to coronavirus concerns.

Austin discussed the U.S. military's commitment to "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" and "the importance of maintaining military readiness" during a press conference Wednesday.

"Our force remains ready to 'fight tonight,' and we continue to make progress toward the eventual transition of wartime Operational Control to a [Republic of Korea]-commanded, future Combined Forces Command," the defense secretary said.

He continued: "While meeting all the conditions for this transition will take more time, I'm confident that this process will strengthen our alliance."

Under Trump, we had Peace through Strength. Under Biden, we are getting the kind of bluster that comes from someone who is weak. The kind of bluster that can turn into a war.

I hope all of the suburban women on Facebook who just couldn’t even with the #badorangeman are happy about all of this saber rattling that the compassionate Joe Biden is doing.

“,,,Biden defense secretary warns US forces ready to ‘fight tonight’ after North Korea warning...”

After diversity, tolerance of perversion, climate change and anti-white classes let out.

Hahaha . Please send in the first Tranny battalion to invade North Korea. I could use a laugh. Maybe some pregnant women can get dropped behind enemy lines.

What a loon! Lloyd Austin is as braindead today as he was when he was Token. People used to refer to him as Floyd Asstin and Foyd Tin-Ass.

Biden wants to pick fights with Russia and North Korea.

But, Red China can proceed uncontested.

Gee, I wonder why ?

If you think the demented one is bad, wait for Heels-up Harris to take over and she feels the need to prove her toughness.

Bad guys sense weakness and try to exploit it. We have nothing but weakness in our leadership. Neville Chamberlain was, by comparison, a rock.

Just as soon a classes are dismissed from critical race theory training. Possibly giving pause to the troops of contemplating: “Are we trying to subjugate these people because they’re asians? Is there a racis’ component to our attacking them?” They could be in a pickle since there have been reports of more attacks on ‘asians’ since Trump used the terms wuhan flu, kung flu, china virus...... Ergo: “*TF!”

*Trump’s Fault.

In about two months Biden has managed to press off Russia and North Korea even as he heads to Alaska to give away the store to the Chinese.
