US Flies B-1 Bombers Over South Korea Again as Show of Force Against North Korea

Here is the typical response from the Pentagon to North Korean provocations:

A U.S. B-1B bomber drops an inert bomb on a mock target during its joint drill with South Korea’s fighter jets on July 8, 2017, in this photo provided by the Air Force. (Yonhap)

Two U.S. long-range strategic bombers flew over the Korean Peninsula on Saturday in a stern warning to North Korea for its long-range missile launch last week.

The B-1B Lancers based in Guam practiced “attack capabilities,” accompanied by South Korea’s F-15K and the U.S. Air Force’s F-16 fighter jets, for several hours in the joint show of force, according to the allies.

In a rare move, they made public a photo and footage of the bombers dropping inert GBU-56 laser guided bombs onto a mock target at the Pilsung range in Gangwon Province.  [Yonhap]

You can read more at the link, but of interest is that the ROK Air Force escorted the B-1’s across the Korean peninsula and then handed off the escort to the Japanese Air Self Defense Force who escorted the bombers across the East China Sea back to Guam after the flight over the Korean peninsula.  That is actually great to see the cooperation between the ROK and Japan which I am sure the Kim regime took notice of.

knife, you really need to read more History.

Si vis pacem, para bellum

You may not be interested in communists, terrorists, pirates, and other thugs; but they hate you and your freedom. If we back down, ever, it strengthens them.

So decide whether you want to be free or be a slave. And if the latter, move to some place like Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela, or Sweden.

Sweden? In Brazile a prison inmate has the right to break out of a jail, it is in their constitution. He or she would not be given any other charges for breaking out. In Germany Education is free to affordable, in France health care is free I used it when I broke my leg on vacation. Healthcare in the Netherlands; Paraplegic man or women can solicit the government’s health care system to provide sex to a patient who can not get out its own.

This country’s peace officer or police kill’s unarmed citizens. No health care for the masses. No real good paying jobs, Just jobs from small business owners. Infrastructure; bridges, highways, airports, roads, inner cities Detroit abandon dogs running wild in the streets. All across America. Drug out citizens epidemic all across this America’s. They don’t hate us, they just want to finish us off. Put us out of our misery

You want to be a serf, go to a Worker’s Paradise. You want to be free, you need to be responsible for yourself. The rest of your writing sounds like you had some bad drugs over at Bernie’s house. No one “gave” you a good job? Awwww. Read a book. Take responsibility for your success or failure. There are still people becoming millionaires, many from a small business they started.

And when you’re tired of wallowing in pity, go be a success. Or not. Your choice. No one owes you anything, so earn what you want.

Look I was just trying to point out, those differences’ in countries who have their folkways and moresways that are accepted without question and in their society which embodying the fundamental morals and views of that particular country, which may or may not be better than some. Not one country is perfect. No need to fight, grab a bite for your appetite.

Should stop this child’s play, before you get a lot of people killed.The North Korean know more about the U.S military than some Americans. I’ve guarantee you that an average North Korean citizen can name every airplane in the U.S inventory, That’s been around the peninsula. C

Conventional bombers are worthless on hardening targets underground and then inside a mountain. They will rake havoc on open cities infrastructure. North Korea is pretty much an underground country when they need be. Just about ready to put the Final on the pole. I suspect when DPRK nukes are good and ready, they will move on South Korea. and the U.S just want have the resolve to fight.

North Korea Leadership DON’T gives a crap about a show of force. Back in the day, North Korean had America in a few of its allies against the ropes. Now that was the time when they were pretty much a peasant Army, eating pheasant.

So think about it, what they can do now since they have had some sixty some odd years to cowboy-up. It will not be a walk in the park for anyone to tangled with North Korea. Think back in the days of Saddam Hussein, the poor guy did nothing to compared to North Korea, he was wiped off the face of the earth and so was Kadaffy. Look at all the crimes that have been committed against the South Korean and U.S since the war was put on hold.

There is no doubt in my mind, that the United States government do not want to tangle with the North Korean (badgers) North Korea will take Seoul and patterned the whole country after China with a one-party system; communist government and a free market to buy and sell good and services; made by Koreans use by Korean bought by Korean, for Korean and thrown away by Korean in one big circle. Will not be that much need for the outside world, of what they got planned.

The writing is on the wall. just like Vietnam. And when it is all done! the U.S and North Korean will be friends and trading partners, just like Vietnam is today. If you want respect from America government, you have to kick their asses, and then only then will they give you respect.

You need to get out more. America, away from the cities run by Democrats, is still a great place. And there are good jobs.

And you need to stop confusing taxpayer-funded health insurance with healthcare, lying about poor folks not being able to afford care when Medicare, SCHIP, and any of a dozen other programs are there to even pay traitors like Manning for elective sex-chamge operations.

If you like those other countries, move. We already have enough looters and moochers. If you’re willing to get off your tailfeathers, welcome aboard.

Well if you had good health care you would not have poor children’s with cleft lips, poor people walking around with bowed legs, crooked teeth, knocked knees looking like an hour glass. For as Ms. Manning, everybody knows you gert better health card in prison because prison is for profit in this country. If you are in prison then you’re making money for the prison system, they are just giving back your benefits stupid. Even military get better health card than civilians. Back in the day prior to joining the Army, I had teeth growing sideways in my mouth, Nobody would fix my teeth because we had no money. Went into the Army. and my teeth’s got fixed. I know of people today that can not get diabetic supplies because they are too poor. I have seen people walk around with one leg shorter than the other, no therapeutic shoes to wear. What rock you been under.

Talk to Isreal, they enjoy your tax dollar more than you do. The US government is giving Isreal billions to build settlements, in this country, they are in Isreal. With your tax dollars. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been given to Isreal to date. And you have the audacity to complain about welfare recipients. Isreal is building brand new settlements, Detroit has fallen down with wild dogs running wild in the street.

The US will pay ten’s of thousands for individuals to be housed in prison, for nonviolent crimes but will not pay one dime to send those individuals to higher education or invest in its own citizen. This country is ways overdue for a JUBILEE UPGRADE.

When you invest in your citizens you get a better citizen back and they pay more into the tax scheme. I really thought the American model was going to work, I’ve guess not. I’ll think we’ve have to join the sickle’s family.
