US stealth jets arrive in South Korea as North Korean rhetoric heats up

[DesertRat]

Tensions on the Korean Peninsula escalated over the weekend as US stealth fighters moved into the region and official sources from both North Korea and the US said the chances of war are growing.

The bellicose rhetoric from North Korea came in two phases: On Saturday, a statement from its Foreign Ministry said US President Donald Trump is "begging for a nuclear war" through what it called an "extremely dangerous nuclear gamble on the Korean Peninsula";

A day later, a commentary from Pyongyang's Rodong Sinmun newspaper, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, said US-South Korea joint air exercises scheduled for Monday to Friday are a "dangerous provocation" pushing the region "to the brink of a nuclear war."

From the US side, White House national security adviser HR McMaster told a conference in California on Saturday that the chances for war on the Korean Peninsula grow daily.

1. If this shit goes to war

Only pro Trump people should fight it. Take all his constituents, political pundits, republican politicians and send them to fight. We told these idiots not to vote for this maniac.

No matter how bad this gets, trumpists will believe it was Obama's fault. This is the power of propaganda.
