U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Arrives in Busan

Here is the latest deterrence effort from the U.S. military that the Kim regime could probably care little about:

South Korea and the United States have stepped up deterrence efforts against North Korea’s mounting threats, recently stoked by its launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), with their latest warning coming over the weekend ― the arrival of a U.S. nuclear-powered submarine in Busan.

In addition, the allies conducted a tabletop exercise last week to respond to possible North Korean nuclear attacks. A U.S. nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is also expected to participate in the allies’ springtime combined exercise, scheduled to begin in the middle of next month. 

According to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Saturday, the Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Springfield arrived in Busan for a scheduled port visit earlier that day.

Kim Fatty wants attention. He knows South Korea could destroy him with both hands tied behind their back; but all the expensive posturing by the US gives him extra credibility.

Are you calling for an end to the Joint ROK-US military exercises?
