US Military Conducts Another Show of Force After North Korea’s 2nd ICBM Test

At this point does anyone think these shows of force make any difference in the decision making process of the Kim regime or this just the US military showing we are doing something?:

Two B1-B U.S. bombers flew over South Korea on Sunday in a show of force against North Korea after its launch of another intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the allies’ armed forces announced.

The strategic bombers from Guam conducted a joint “air interdiction operation” with four F-15K fighter jets, said South Korea’s Air Force.

It came in response to North Korea’s repeated ballistic missile launches and nuclear weapons development.

“Our Air Force maintains the precision-strike capability and readiness to burn the enemy’s missile base and its key facilities, including its leadership stronghold to the ground,” South Korea’s Air Force Operations Commander Lt. Gen. Won In-cheol said in a statement. “If the enemy provokes, we will respond immediately and retaliate powerfully.”  [Yonhap]

I heard a comment on AFN TV that said the bombers flew with Korean and Japanese fighters. I thought, did that really happen? Japanese military aircraft participating in a mission over Korean airspace? Likely, not.

The bombers joined with Japanese fighters over Japanese airspace, then apparently separated and joined with Korean aircraft for its pass over Korean airspace.
