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."

Exactly, how can they use this racist rhetoric in light of all of the white-on-Asian hate crimes happening all over?
Wow, Austin should be re-named Autism.
They’ve been in office for 20 minutes and already these meatheads have screwed up the relationship with N. Korea.

Don’t forget they need to paint the barracks in gentle pastels and refurbish them with fabulous furnishings. A safe and comfortable place for everyone don’t you know.
When America projected an image of strength, piss ant dictators weren’t tempted to challenge us. That’s how we get into wars.
Do the voters have any responsibility? The world is a more dangerous place when the democrats are in charge. Just look at how are enemies treat us when we show weakness. Are the voters aware of what goes on outside our borders and how it affects us? The answer will disappoint.
