Biden defense secretary warns US forces ready to 'fight tonight' after North Korea warning

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."

Joepedo better watch what he's doing. The military probably all are still using their dark, winter parasols.

Spring and the change to the lighter, summery off white parasol is just around the corner and some fashion conventions simply can't be trampled.

Right you are. Eisenhower didn’t have to prove how tough he was. And neither did Trump. But LBJ, George W. Bush, etc. - those guys are in an entirely different category.

And now it’s Biden/Harris’s turn to spill blood.

Hmmmm...

Wouldn’t this be considered ‘violence against Asians’?

Thought we were trying to put an end to that kind of stuff...

Secretary Austin has stated that the denuclreziation of the Korean Peninsula remains the Biden administration ‘top priority’....(which is the Obama foreign policy) The Biden Administration "America is back" is really "Obama's war machine is back".

Oh great. We are back to the bluster that brought us Biden challenging people to freakin’ push-ups during the primaries.

One thing we should have learned by now is that “talking crap” never really gets you anywhere with these people.

So we have the Secretary of Defense officially responding to comments from foreign leaders?

Why do I think this is something that should come from the CiC?

Totally predictable
Back to the failed policies that preceded Trump
Squander trust building and cooperative dialogue that started under Trump
Pixx off the Russians and the norks
Can we just call this the Biden Corn Pop Doctrine?
