During the bilateral talks between North and South Korea this week, the US Air Force deployed three nuclear-capable B-2 Spirit bombers to Guam, along with some 200 airmen. The Guam base has long been seen as the likely staging area for US attacks against North Korea.
Adding context to this deployment, while the US never formally objected to the talks, there were reports at the time that the Trump Administration was debating carrying out a “limited” sneak attack against North Korea.
Though the reports on the attack suggested it was likely to be in the future, likely during the Winter Olympics, the deployment of the US warplanes has doubtless added to military tensions on the Korean Peninsula, even as the negotiations sought to ease them somewhat.
Putting nuclear-capable bombers in Guam on the eve on the Winter Olympics, and immediately after President Trump bragged about his nuclear button doubtless will further inflame concerns throughout the region, and serious fear of a war breaking out.
If I’am not mistaken president Bush claimed the right to attack any country first in order to prevent a war . I guess president Clinton did attack and bomb Yugoslavia to prevent a genocide from happening in Yugoslavia And president Obama did put a no fly zone over Libya to prevent Gaddaffi from stopping the Jihadists that had invaded his country . So naturally president Trump has every right to bomb N Korea to prevent a war . What the American presidents don’t seem to realize is these bombing acts are a war .And we are the ones responsible for starting the wars .
I don’t understand what Trump is thinking unless these bombers where something that was already in the process of being deployed I think we ought to give diplomacy a chance. Did anyone here Paul Ryan’s speech about America’s military yesterday, we’re about to build up on a scale no one has seen in decades, a huge modernization of every aspect of our military. I understand the peace through strength aspect I just pray we never have to use that type of destruction on anybody.
When primary candidate Trump became the GOP standard bearer I predicted here that a President Trump would be very expensive for the nation. It is happening.
Yes all while giving special interest groups huge tax breaks, I’ve never seen America wheel and deal this way in my lifetime, stock market soaring, American weapons industries are booming the anti- ballistic missiles Japan just aquired only require a minimal modification and can become nuclear tipped, NATO countries are buying missile defense systems and contracting our military to operate them.
Yep. And if history is any guide, those weapons will eventually be used against the US.
Not to mention the fact that in English, “American weapons industries are booming” means “Americans are being taxed to give foreign military aid to country X, which will then spend the money buy arms from American weapons industries, thus transferring money from the paychecks of people in the productive sector to the bank accounts of ‘defense’ contractors.”
It’s an attempt by Trump to sabotage the peace deal that he “supports”.
Once again, ladies and gentlemen, here is a president that Justin Raimondo believes in.
