When you want to send an international message that can’t be missed, you send an aircraft carrier. When you want to put up a neon sign, you send two. And yesterday, the U.S. Navy did just that, by confirming that the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Ronald Reagan carrier strike groups had joined up off the Korean coast

Just to stir the pot a bit more, two ships from the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces (JMSDF) are sailing with the Vinson and Reagan as well, including the 19,000-ton mini-carrier, the JS Hyuga.

Holy Smokes... someone is up to something... like something that goes: “boom”...

It will be there in like a week, now do I get out of the stock market or not, war with NK would do a number on it.

Kim Jong Dumb please pick up the nearest white courtesy phone.

In the event of war there is very little we could do in the short term to prevent Seoul from being turned to rubble and occupied by NK. Our forces on the DMZ are nothing but a speed bump for the North.

Granddaughter-in-law on the Nimitz (She sets the detonators). She wants know if it’s OK to add a third carrier group over there without UN approval?

Heh.

[AFreeBird]

Yea, Little Kimmie discovered he he can get a hardon and wants to run around on show his hardon off to everyone.

And shoot it off.

It would seem the knives are coming out to deal with it.

[AFreeBird]

Tell her eff the UN.

[unixfox]

If you get out now and bank your earnings you could reinvest when the market drops. Buy low...

[Joe Miner]

Yea, I get it, but damn this thing just keeps going up and up, AMZN, SHOP, NVDA, NFLX

The Nimitz is on the way, my son’s ship. That would make three, but I think that they are going to relieve one of the Carriers.

[Enchante]

Nimitz strike group on the way from the west coast, to arrive in one week, I believe

[1_Inch_Group]

Almost went to the Nimitz...but got MediVAC’ced from the gulf and missed the world tour in 97. That would have been a fun ride. Tell him we say thank you and stay safe!

[DIRTYSECRET]

It will be over as fast as it starts. Time to get it over with.

[tennmountainman]

When we send the Ronald Reagan, u know we mean business.

“The Nimitz is on the way, my son’s ship. That would make three, but I think that they are going to relieve one of the Carriers.”

All three groups will be on station for a while, I predict...
