U.S. says it sent B-2 stealth bombers over South Korea
March 28, 2013 -- The planes flew to South Korea and back in one mission, the U.S. says; It says the flights show its ability "to conduct precision strikes quickly"; U.S. and South Korean defense chiefs spoke by phone Wednesday evening; A previous announcement about B-52 flights over South Korea angered the North

The United States said Thursday it sent stealth bombers to South Korea to participate in annual military exercises amid spiking tensions with North Korea. The B-2 Spirit bombers flew more than 6,500 miles from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to South Korea, dropping inert munitions there as part of the exercises, before returning to the U.S. mainland, the U.S Forces in Korea said in a statement. The mission by the planes, which can carry both conventional and nuclear weapons, "demonstrates the United States' ability to conduct long range, precision strikes quickly and at will," the statement said. The U.S. military's announcement earlier this month that it was flying B-52 bombers over South Korea to participate in the routine exercises prompted an angry reaction from the North, which has unleashed a torrent of threats in the past few weeks.

There was no immediate reaction to the U.S. statement Thursday from the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency. "The United States is steadfast in its alliance commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea, to deterring aggression, and to ensuring peace and stability in the region," the statement said, using South Korea's official name. "The B-2 bomber is an important element of America's enduring and robust extended deterrence capability in the Asia-Pacific region." The disclosure of the B-2 flights comes a day after North Korea said it was cutting a key military hotline with South Korea, provoking fresh expressions of concern from U.S. officials about Pyongyang's recent rhetoric. There are several hotlines between North and South Korea. "North Korea is not a paper tiger so it wouldn't be smart to dismiss its provocative behavior as pure bluster," a U.S. official said Wednesday.

U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke by phone to his South Korean counterpart, Kim Kwan-jin, on Wednesday evening, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said, noting the "heightened tension on the Korean Peninsula." The recent saber-rattling from Pyongyang has included threats of pre-emptive nuclear strikes against the United States and South Korea, as well as the declaration that the armistice that stopped the Korean War in 1953 is null and void. On Tuesday, the North said it planned to place military units tasked with targeting U.S. bases under combat-ready status. Most observers say North Korea is still years away from having the technology to deliver a nuclear warhead on a missile, but it does have plenty of conventional military firepower, including medium-range ballistic missiles that can carry high explosives for hundreds of miles.

Tensions escalated on the Korean Peninsula after the North carried out a long-range rocket launch in December and an underground nuclear test last month, prompting the U.N. Security Council to step up sanctions on the secretive regime. Pyongyang has expressed fury over the sanctions and the annual U.S.-South Korean military exercises, which are due to continue until the end of April. The North has claimed that the exercises are tantamount to threats of nuclear war against it. Sharp increases in tensions on the Korean Peninsula have taken place during the drills in previous years. The last time the North cut off military communications with the South was during similar exercises in March 2009.

I think we should fly the B-52s over Kim's house. That would really drive him (further) nuts. Might be considered a war crime, though.

What message? "We keep wasting the taxpayer´s money to keep our eternal war on the earth running." ??

50 million US-citizens are dependent on food stamps, but that doesn´t matter. The bombs must rain for the main. What ever it takes, the bombs must rain.

What message?

That we will honor our obligations, defend our allies, and blow your worthless little ass all to hell if you ever make good on your ridiculous threats.

 

[Unkotare]

50 million US-citizens are dependent on food stamps, but that doesn´t matter.

The two issues are utterly unrelated, you ridiculous little emo-clown.

Are insults your replacement for missing arguments? Just imagine, what you could do, if you´d cut the military budget by 400 billion. Still nobody would dare to attack you and you could solve your issues.

It wouldn't solve one issue - not one. It would, in fact, create many more. Such issues would include, but not be limited to, adding consderably more people to the number on food stamps, you idiot.

No.
You think you can patch the road holes but now it is necessary to rebuild the road.

You should go find a topic about which you might know the first thing. This is clearly not such a topic for you.

Indeed. Cheer leading the next war against international law is really not a topic for me.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Did you know that when the B-2 was built, it would have cost just as much to make it from solid Gold!

Hop in your time machine and go back to when you had a country, loser.

Probably wouldn't fly very well that way.

 

[Gracie]

No. He didn't get a clue yet. Instead, he is supposedly aiming his missiles at our bases in Guam and Hawaii and S. Korea...ready to fire. I started a thread but...alas...no responses yet.

 

[Bleipriester]

You Americans simply can´t take criticism.
You are so busy "liberating" that you don´t see that your own people falls by the wayside.
Maybe its you who should be liberated. Your presidents claim to have conversation with god.
And your DU filled ammunition is simply unable to liberate.

 

[Unkotare]

Maybe its you who should be liberated. ..

Go ahead, East Germany, give it a shot. Oh wait...that's right...LOL! Move along, nobody. History has long since wiped you off its shoe.

US taxpayers drag South Korea behind it like a bad leg - a congenital bad leg. SK never benefited US taxpayers.

Probably the closest comparison is Israel in that direct expenses propping up these unnatural nations represent relatively little of the total costs to US taxpayers, as most costs are indirect. Think, SEATO, Iraq, etc.
