US Sends Aircraft Carrier Toward North Korea "In Response to Recent Provocations"

[Boston.Knight]

One day after NBC reported that the National Security Council had presented Trump with three options vis-a-vis North Korea, namely i) put American nukes in South Korea , ii) kill Kim Jong-un or iii) use the CIA to infiltrate North Korea to sabotage or take out key infrastructure, a US carrier group has departed Singapore and is headed for North Korea.

According to Reuters, a U.S. Navy strike group will be moving toward the western Pacific Ocean near the Korean peninsula, a U.S. official told Reuters on Saturday, as concerns grow about North Korea's advancing weapons program. The strike group, called Carl Vinson, includes an aircraft carrier and will make its way from Singapore toward the Korean peninsula.

Republicans have full power for 90 days and we're already spending billions to inflate our war machine and terrorize third world countries.
Some people never learn.

If the prior administration had done their jobs instead running scared Iran would not be controlling Syria, Russia would not be all over the Middle East and let North Korea run unchecked.

Developing nations. They're called developing nations. You can't pretend to be an intellectual and use the phrase "third world." It's historically outdated and is, strangely, horribly inaccurate when Russia is somehow involved.

Lots of stupid in this thread.

1. It's the Aircraft Carrier Carl Vinson battle group, the battle group is not called Carl Vinson.
2. The Carl Vinson battle group is on routine patrol in the Western Pacific, and routinely steams between Korea, Japan, the Philippines, and Singapore as they transit the Malakan Straits gong into the Indian Ocean.
3. South Korea and the US have annual exercises called Team Spirit where our forces work together in all facets of defense of the South Korean portion of the peninsula. This is why the Vinson battle group is going there.

Stop blindly buying into the hyperbolic and pedantic ravings of the traditional liberal media outlets. Fiction can be fun, but at least TRY to be accurate.

FWIW - boston quoted zerohedge, a right-wing media outlet similar to infowars.
