What Trump understands is that you cannot simply ‘put off” dealing with tricky situations as they will inevitably bite you in the ass one day.
Clinton, Bush and Obama have all been too lazy and too cowardly to do anything about NK, and passed the buck down to the next guy.
Thank the Lord we have a true statesman with an entirely different mindset in the away now
peace through strength
The US has a better show of power than anyone in the world..even after 8 years of pansy obama
This one could be a rough ride. Buckle up.
The George Washington Strike Group is home ported in Yokosuka and can be in theater in 2 days.
And, as the article mentioned we have subs in theater. Those are certain to contain all varieties...SSN, SSBN, and SSGN.
The SSGN being the converted Tridents that carry 7 Tomahawks in each tube. Even the new Virgina class SSN has verticle launch tubes for Tomahawks.
Armada would likely mean several carrier battle groups. This would mean enough firepower to not only relegate FatBoy to anti-Trump but also the entire peninsula - and that’s without the nukes that would very likely be on board numerous vessels.
North Korea is going to blink...
Anti-matter not Anti-Trump, auto correct is retarded today.
Like it is a big secret. Actually, you make it known that you have a deterrent in the region to counter the many threats made by an irrational leader. We have deployed the fleet many times to send the signal to possible adversaries that we will defend our interests. The Seventh Fleet has been dispatched to the straits of Taiwan many times, for example.
Ever hear of TR's Great White Fleet?
Looks like North Korea won’t be “Best Korea” much longer.
Just as a heads up. This guy has a YouTube channel that live streams Nork Television. It will start later tonight, but the fun is having everyone comment real time on the programming. Some real comedy gold there.

North Korea could become a parking lot for the Kia factory. Plenty of room for inventory. And the pavement smooth as glass.
You don’t think that the Norks already know?
Knowing that a passel of submarines are headed your way doesn’t tell you much, really. The Pacific is an awfully big ocean.
Whatever happened to this?

The point is, why tell them ANYTHING?? Keep them guessing.
Doubt if they have a Nelson too!
But Korea does have a famous admiral - Admiral Yi who defeated the Japanese back in the 1500s. He was severely outnumbered if I remember correctly and it was the first use of ironclads. The Koreans had a small number of them.
Calling your fleet an armada never ends well.
“Keep them guessing.”
What if they guess wrong? As in, “The United States is so weak, they won’t even declare their intentions, like our Great Leader does all the time.”
I think 0 pulled them all in right before he left town. I'd think Trump might want to tone it down a bit until he gets a few more carriers operational.
Running back and forth from the Sea of Japan to the Persian Gulf is going to put some miles on the Vinson.
