Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday warned North Korea that U.S. forces are ready to "fight tonight" after the dictatorship condemned military drills taking place in South Korea.

The U.S. and South Korean militaries have resumed springtime drills in South Korea after pausing exercises last February due to coronavirus concerns.

Austin discussed the U.S. military's commitment to "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" and "the importance of maintaining military readiness" during a press conference Wednesday.

"Our force remains ready to 'fight tonight,' and we continue to make progress toward the eventual transition of wartime Operational Control to a [Republic of Korea]-commanded, future Combined Forces Command," the defense secretary said.

He continued: "While meeting all the conditions for this transition will take more time, I'm confident that this process will strengthen our alliance."

We're a special kind of retard ain't we! I find it extremely hard to believe we are remotely close to ready to get into a war with North Korea. Biden and his Administration are a complete disgrace.

No word on whether the famous “doomsday clock” is being advanced to one minute before midnight as they did for Trump.

Ready to fight, right after they complete their woke anti-white supremacist training and transgender surgeries.

Isn’t the Army in a soul-searching timeout right now?

Really? I thought the military was on stand down to search for white supremists in the ranks and retool for a more gender friendly fighting force.

Exactly, how can they use this racist rhetoric in light of all of the white-on-Asian hate crimes happening all over?

They’ve been in office for 20 minutes and already these meatheads have screwed up the relationship with N. Korea.

Don’t forget they need to paint the barracks in gentle pastels and refurbish them with fabulous furnishings. A safe and comfortable place for everyone don’t you know.

The he/she/it members of the military are ready to protect us from North Koreans. They can file HR reports about the North Koreans. /s

When America projected an image of strength, piss ant dictators weren’t tempted to challenge us. That’s how we get into wars.

Do the voters have any responsibility? The world is a more dangerous place when the democrats are in charge. Just look at how are enemies treat us when we show weakness. Are the voters aware of what goes on outside our borders and how it affects us? The answer will disappoint.
