Korea and the United States, Washington delivers the TAG24 launcher

After completing the joint military exercises (extended until today in the max), the US and South Korea are trying not only to reduce the military missile gap with North Korea but also to send a clear message to Pyongyang.

Washington’s decision to deploy the US B-1B “Lancer” strategic bomber should be read in this light, to send a “strong warning to Korea northWhich raises the level of provocations.” This is the second intervention of this kind by the United States in the Indo-Pacific region, after another “Lancer” was stationed at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam in the Pacific Ocean.

The B-1B was also used in the ROK-USA joint air exercises In December 2017, about 260 aircraft were mobilized, after North Korea launched a series of large-scale provocations such as the sixth nuclear test and the launch of an ICBM.

Agreement between South Korea and the United States against Kim’s provocations

South Korea has asked the United States to step up deployment of “strategic assets,” including aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and long-range bombers such as the B-1B. In recent days, the two defense ministers, Lloyd Austin and Lee Jong Sub, had a close conversation.as it was decided to have more weapons on the South Korean peninsula, which increased the frequency and intensity of Kim’s provocations.

However, there are those who are looking at what is happening with increasing concern, namely Japan. In recent days, weather warnings sounded in several cities on the southwest coast (Miyagi, Yamagata and Niigata) after North Korea launched as many as 23 missiles in just 24 hours. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s condemnation is harsh, as he described the Pyongyang missile launch as “an outrage that cannot be condoned at all,” the Japanese prime minister said.
