U.S. Senators Calls for USFK to Field Tactical Nuclear Weapons

I think the situation on the peninsula would have to get very unstable before the U.S. military would consider redeploying tactical nuclear weapons on to the peninsula:

 A ranking member of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday proposed the idea of redeploying U.S. tactical nuclear arms to South Korea to beef up deterrence, noting the absence of any immediate diplomatic solution to North Korea’s nuclear quandary.

Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) made the proposal in a report, titled “21st Century Peace Through Strength: A Generational Investment in the U.S. Military,” in which he stressed Pyongyang continues to “outpace expectations” about its nuclear and missile programs with capabilities to target the continental United States.

“Because there is no immediate diplomatic solution in sight, the United States must ensure that deterrence does not erode on the Korean Peninsula,” the senator said in the report.

“That means maintaining readiness with regular U.S.-Republic of Korea military exercises, keeping a persistent U.S. military presence on the Korean Peninsula and exploring new options — such as nuclear-sharing agreements in the Indo-Pacific and redeployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula — to bolster deterrence on the Korean Peninsula,” he added.

This is a test to see how everyone involves reacts.

Nobody really sees what is happening.

But then some people think the untested vaccine was effective (which was clear that it couldn’t be) and safe (which was fully impossible to claim)…

…so most people wouldn’t recognize reality if it jumped out of a toilet and bit them on the áss.

The world is organizing for war… world war.

America, Europe, the middle east, south Asia, China, Japan, Russia… everyone is preparing their positions and aliances.

Today’s example is that America is building a factory to double artillary production… you know… for Ukraine.

Ukraine will be lucky to make it through the summer.

Every day this war goes on, Ukraine loses more men and more territory. Somebody will recognize this, get rid of Puppet Zelensky, and take whatever deal they can get… some of it involving a job with Blackrock.

So this factory isn’t for Ukraine.

This factory is for what is coming.

And this talk of nukes isn’t about nukes.

It is about judging reactions.

SK doesn’t need US tactical nukes. SK should have nukes of its own, mounted on the SK’s own nuke subs, patrolling the Pacific. This will ensure that no first strike from the enemies will wipe out South Korea with no ability to counter back because the US will be reluctant to do so.

South Korea is the most logical country to let have nukes, thus the most capable in Asia, to counter both North Korea and China. Its the tops in Asia when it comes to military weapons manufacturing and weapons technology. If the US is really in a dire financial situation where they cannot keep their military presence in Asia, why do they not allow South Korea to take up some of the load, instead of just constantly badmouthing/blackmailing South Korea for more money and threats of withdraws? The US can also save money by withdrawing its military, and letting South Korea off the leash full of restrictions.

One good thing the Trump administration did during their rule, was that they took off the missile restrictions against South Korea. Once they’re in back in power, the Trump administration can go even further and take out the nuclear restrictions too.
