SEOUL: North Korea accused the United States on Tuesday of pushing the Korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war after a pair of strategic U.S. bombers flew training drills with the South Korean and Japanese air forces in another show of strength.
The two supersonic B-1B Lancer bombers were deployed amid rising tensions over North Korea's dogged pursuit of its nuclear and missile programmes in defiance of United Nations sactions and pressure from the United States.
The flights of the two bombers on Monday came as U.S. President Donald Trump said he was open to meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the right circumstances, and as his CIA director landed in South Korea for talks.
South Korean Defence Ministry spokesman Moon Sang-gyun told a briefing in Seoul that Monday's joint drill was conducted to deter provocations by the North and to test readiness against another potential nuclear test.
The U.S. air force said in a statement the bombers had flown from Guam to conduct training exercises with the South Korean and Japanese air forces.
North Korea said the bombers conducted "a nuclear bomb dropping drill against major objects" in its territory at a time when Trump and "other U.S. warmongers are crying out for making a preemptive nuclear strike" on the North.
"The reckless military provocation is pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula closer to the brink of nuclear war," the North's official KCNA news agency said on Tuesday.

Geez. The Korcoms act just like liberals.
Fat boy needs to have an accident.
Chubsy Ubsey needs to accidentally fall in front of a firing anti aircraft gun.
C’mon FatBoy. Skin that smokewagon and see what happens.
He’s no daisy. He’s no daisy at all.
A lot of people will die. That's what will happen. Fatboy needs piece of ricin (or polonium, or something) stuck in his butt. He's the problem ...
He did, but they wiped his arse and changed him.
It’s not nuclear bombs they need to fear from the B-1s. It’s the 48 JDAMs per flight per bird.
The B-1s aren’t even nuclear capable anymore.
China demands halt to US missile shield in South Korea

It never fails ... totalitarians always oppose purely defensive weapons (when deployed by the Free World).
What’s he going to say next? They have kinetic projectiles in space waiting to be dropped on our heads?
Seriously- it’s time to shut this punk up. Kim Jong-un is a mad dog who needs to be put down.
Right.
North Korea is too damn close to Russia and China for us to use nukes.
That said, this confrontation is going to come to a head soon. Trump, Mattis, and Tillerson are tightening the screws on Kim and there is no turning back.
Nevermind JDAM’s is also a JASSM platform as well. If so the ER version comes with extended range and Stealth, ole fat boy would never know what hit him.
The majority of South Korean’s are against the missile defense system being deployed as well. I love how we help ungrateful mf’s.
We should be about helping the North Korean people. Never again my ass.
They’re ungrateful because they wanna deal with it themselves I think.
It is their problem.
Mexico is ours.
How’d you feel about South Korean help with Mexico?

North Korea Will Fire a Nuclear Weapon

I don't doubt that North Korea would fire a nuke at the South or Japan if they had the capacity. But I don't think we would use nukes unless we had the full support of both Russia and China in doing so.
Too easy to accidentally start a large nuclear war between parties who do have the capacity.
Chicoms want to take territories and fly missions on US and Japanese borders and are using NK to accuse the US of nuke war and bullying when we fly our missions there.
They are trying to push for our disarmament and exit of international waters via their stooge.
