You remember, the one between North and South Korea that has been raging for 65 years? The ceasefire is looking pretty dismal at the moment. North Korea has nukes and has been developing ballistic missiles for those nukes. They have successfully tested a dozen of those, this year, and within the past 2 weeks, they launched four at once, dropping 3 of them into Japan's territorial waters. I'm pretty sure that violated the ceasefire agreement
Yeah, pissed off America big time and scared the hell out of Japan and South Korea. For those of you counting, we now have three aircraft carrier task forces in South China Sea, which is a helluva lot of fire power to "maintain international waterway rights of passage" ... they could easily wipe all those islands clean of military installations, but I don't think that's what they are there for. Japan sent their solo aircraft carrier task force to join ours in joint exercises. We have a light carrier/amphibious assault ship (the USS America) in the Pacific that has been drilling for war operations, that has quietly slipped below the radar, might also be in the area with the ability to deploy 1700 men/women anywhere behind lines through their 12 Ospreys (carries a squad(24) of special forces)... it also trained for flight operations of CAP with a dozen F-35s. Both Australia and Japan have begun production of the F-35 and we sent four trainers to each nation to ready pilots. Our 3 carriers are loaded with super hornets, and the Jap carrier has helicopters and hover jets, like the USS America.
In the past week we have sent THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) missile defense over to South Korea to counter the ballistic missile threat. There's also a permanent THAAD unit operating on Guam. In addition, we sent the ability to retaliate/strike first with nukes, deploying to South Korea all 3 of our strike bombers, the B-52's, B-1's, and the B-2's. This is the first time in the history of the US that we have deployed all three of our front line bombers. We are also deploying drones with missile strike capabilities. All this hardware has been sighted on the ground in South Korea over the past week, I'm not sure how many fighters are normally deployed with our 28,500 troops permanently stationed in South Korea, but the carriers are so close in the South China Sea; an offensive could be launched in a matter of minutes; refueling could take place over South Korea while the bombers get airborne. America has positioned herself to take the fight to North Korea, big time.
China has responded with sanctions; serious sanctions, on North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. But that won't stop an imminent operation from taking place, and that's what this looks like. China has asked the US to chill, step back this military response... and we just brushed it off. North Korea's leader has a half brother who was in tight with China, he was assassinated about 3 weeks ago. There is a big power struggle going on in China between its new current leader and the former leader he replaced; the former leader was always tight with North Korean current leader... regime destruction in North Korea could play well with internal political struggle for China's new leader... this could be the green light for America to take this monster out.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran are all economic battlegrounds. None of those nations are/were a threat to us militarily. North Korea has been the real threat all along and they now have a credible nuclear threat. There is no going back, the two Koreas are still officially at war with each other, North Korea is a purely military nation, it is a nation at war that is constantly seeking out weaknesses in South Korea and has constantly threatened to nuke South Korea into oblivion. They have no navy, they have one ancient submarine, but they have a deadly force of medium range nuclear missiles that could annihilate South Korea and Japan. South Korea just tossed president Park from office, but no one over there on either political divide isn't 100% for American/Japanese/South Korean response to nuclear threat from North Korea. South Korea and America have been officially at war with North Korea for 65 years now, but when North Korea dropped 3 ballistic missiles just 20 miles off Japan's mainland, they sent their Navy to join ours in the South China Sea. I suspect there's a lot more happening than I am aware of.....

I think the ceasefire is in imminent danger, very soon, I expect an all out first strike on all of North Korea's wmd capabilities... and yes, they have nerve gas also. Could happen any day now.
