North Korea said it would counter U.S. and South Korean joint naval exercises with “nuclear deterrence” after the Obama administration said the government in Pyongyang shouldn’t take any provocative steps.
US aircraft carrier ups pressure on NKorea. The military drills, code-named "Invincible Spirit," are to run Sunday through Wednesday with about 8,000 U.S. and South Korean troops, 20 ships and submarines and 200 aircraft. The Nimitz-class USS George Washington, with several thousand sailors and dozens of fighters aboard, was deployed from Japan.
Well, Kim Jong Ill is a wild card, so this will be interesting. NKorea has also been in contact with Iran and Pres. Imanutinthehead. Don't know what will happen, but keep your eyes open.
