U.S. Air Force Bombers Conduct Trilateral Drill with Japanese and South Korean Fighter Jets

Flying bomber jets with South Korean fighters is one of the typical U.S. responses to North Korean provocations. What makes this one different is that the Japanese joined in to make it a trilateral deterrence drill:

U.S. B-52 bombers flew with Japanese and South Korean fighter jets Friday in separate exercises as a show of unity intended to deter would-be adversaries, the Defense Department said Friday.

The joint aerial training comes amid elevated tensions with North Korea and China.

North Korea has stepped up its pace of missile testing, including the launch Thursday of what it called a “new type” of solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile.

Two B-52s could not nuke more than 40 or so sites in North Korea… I don’t see any real threat here…

The real threat is Pyongyang forgetting where those 40 nukes could land…

Of course, SpongeBiden TenpercentforthebigguyPants won’t do anything…
