Overnight the U.S. Air Force dropped some fake bombs on the demilitarized zone, the border between South and North Korea to let Kim Jong Un know we ain’t screwing around.
Watch below:
And we got help from South Korea:
Two U.S. B-1B bombers and American and South Korean fighter jets on Friday conducted an exercise that included practicing attack capabilities at a training range, in a show of force to North Korea days after that regime tested an intercontinental ballistic missile.
U.S. Pacific Command said the Lancer bombers took off from an air base in Guam and “practiced attack capabilities by releasing inert weapons at the Pilsung Range.”
The Pilsung Range is well inside South Korean territory, but local media reported that the bombers also flew close to the demilitarized zone (DMZ) separating the two countries although they did not enter the zone or cross any demarcation lines.
“North Korea’s actions are a threat to our allies, partners and homeland,” Pacific Air Forces Commander Gen. Terrence O’ Shaughnessy said in a statement. “Let me be clear, if called upon we are trained, equipped and ready to unleash the full lethal capability of our allied air forces.”
There really does sound like there are no good options with North Korea. While Trump continues to believe his pipe dream that he can coerce China to do something about it, and idiots like Eric Bolling keep pushing his own absurd fantasy of assassinating Kim Jong Un, there’s little we can do without risking hundreds of thousands of casualties, including many U.S. military members.
