Response to WHAT?!

The U.S. hasn’t done anything.

The U.S. hasn’t done anything.

Really? Foal Eagle (Korean: 독수리 연습) is a combined field training exercise (FTX) conducted annually by the Republic of Korea Armed Forces and the United States Armed Forces under the auspices of the Combined Forces Command. It is one of the largest military exercises conducted annually in the world.

This is to be discounted as nothing? 

It’s easy to be critical sitting in the safety inside of Japan no? 

It is no secret that I was no fan of Biden. But I will give the former President this to his credit. 

He was a maintainer for the region. To say my government did nothing is an insult to every person deployed in Japan and Korea as well those here on TDY orders is an insult. 

If you would like down the rabbit hole how Korea and Japan benefit from US Forces being stationed here.

YAWN. This didn't even make the front page of CNN World News. More bluster from a pugnacious tin pot dictator.

South and North Korea are still in a state of war since 1950. Only an armistice is in place. Both sides conduct regular exercises. Nothing special.

We all know that's true, but in the NK mind, everyone is out to get them ... when in reality, nobody cares, as long as they don't impact any other countries.

If China stopped supporting NK, the country would fail and the dictators would be removed. Bet it would take less than 30 days for that to happen if China ended support.

Perhaps Putin would send aid, but I doubt it.

NK standing alone would collapse on itself without any outside help.

Someone really wants to rekindle his "love letter" romance...

Wonder if his romantic partner is listening?

NK want a defense (and it’s right) against attack and regime change.

North Korea, to my recollection hasn’t invaded any other country to date.

Fact Check:

"the Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when the North Korean People's Army invaded South Korea in a coordinated general attack at several strategic points along the 38th parallel, the line dividing communist North Korea from the non-communist Republic of Korea in the south. North Korea aimed to militarily conquer South Korea and therefore unify Korea under the communist North Korean regime."

Fat boy missiles are like firecrackers warning the US about what. He needs to feed his soldiers if not they will be eating him later. If he makes one mistake he will be bombed into rubble
