Why in the world would we send a strong message to North Korea, when Hilary Clinton can pen a firm letter?

We're doomed.

I approve of the measure, approve of all our fine sailors, yet I know that not in A MILLION YEARS will this carrier see action under this administration WHATEVER PROVOCATION MAY COME.

DISGUSTED.

Which is worse, telegraphing our intentions or giving North Korea a green light?

Hmmm...

This administration couldn’t manage it’s way out of a revolving door.

Of course they're denying it....

Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?

Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.

Our side folded like origami.

South Korea folded when it allowed sanctions to be relaxed, allowing garlic export etc. and opening a way to pay North Korea for it, plus whatever additional protection monies are paid. Its Danegeld pure and simple. Ditto for the US State Department sending aid.

That is why Chia Head threw a celebratory party. It was one so grand that one of his closest advisors and top Jong Un supporter died in a drunk driving accident in the wee hours after it.

It takes money to keep loyalty in NK - especially for a jerk like Jong Un. Thus the nuclear and other blackmail had to be employed, especially after the currency fiasco. It was for Jong Un’s “dowry” as he is married to the elite in NK.

By the way, have you see a picture of Jong Un? He has eyes like a cold dead fish.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

Putting a carrier into the Yellow Sea would be nuts. The whole point of a CVBG is letting stand-off distance work in your favor. No need to be closer than the south coast of Japan, say.

[Art.] The Pentagon denied Thursday it has approved sending the aircraft carrier USS George Washington to the Yellow Sea off the Korean Peninsula.....

....because a second secretary at the Chinese embassy called up DoD and countermanded.
