US and North Korea on brink of war


There are fears of a military conflict between North Korea and the US after the countries traded threats.
President Trump promised Kim Jong Un's regime would face "fire and fury" if it did not cease its nuclear programme.
In response the North Korean's are said to be considering a missile attack on Guam.
The US Naval Base in the Pacific is home to thousands of troops and American military firepower.
The US Air Force released a statement earlier describing how to B-1B bombers flew a practice mission over the Korean Peninsula yesterday.
After taking off from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, the B-1s assigned to the 37th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, flew to Japanese airspace, where they were joined by Japanese F-2 fighter jets.
The B-1s then flew over the Korean Peninsula where they were joined by Republic of Korea Air Force KF-16 fighter jets.
The B-1s then performed a pass over the Pilsung Range before leaving South Korean airspace and returning to Guam.
The Air Force said: “Throughout the approximately 10-hour mission, the aircrews practiced intercept and formation training, enabling them to enhance their combined capabilities and tactical skills, while also strengthening the long standing military-to-military relationships in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.”
A 37th pilot added:
How we train is how we fight and the more we interface with our allies, the better prepared we are to fight tonight.
The B-1 is a long-range bomber that is well-suited for the maritime domain and can meet the unique challenges of the Pacific.

'I hope that our mother country does what's right for us'

Others in Guam aren’t quite so calm.
Rudy Matanane, Mayor of Yigo, illustrated the fear that is felt.
Talking about the threat from Kim Jong Un’s regime he said: “It’s kind of scary because we don’t know what this guy is capable of.
“But, uh, I hope that our mother country does what’s right for us.


“Make a conscious decision that we don’t get hit first.
“Because this guy… I don’t think he cares you know, he’s killed his family… but us he doesn’t even know.”
How is this situation being felt in Guam?
The island has a population of more than 162,000.
Journalist Haidee Eugenio with the Pacific Daily News reports that locals are “going about their usual ways despite North Korea’s threat”.
The Governor Eddie Baza Calvo says there is “no change in alert level.”

US and Britain already have plans to take out North Korean regime

The Mirror recently revealed how Britain and the US already have ‘Plans A, B and C’ for how they would take out the entire North Korean leadership.
Elite forces are already being trained for a scenario in which they are ordered to eliminate Kim Jong-Un and his military advisers, former Navy SEAL Brandon Webb said.
The 43-year-old spent 13 years in the US Armed Forces and later took charge of the SEAL’s Sniper School which trained Chris Kyle whose exploits the film American Sniper were based on.

“I think it would be very easy for the UK or the US to, if they wanted, swiftly take out the entire North Korean leadership,” said Mr Webb.
“Very quickly, with a special operations unit.
“The intelligence capability and the special ops capability we have today is incredible.
“Most people have no idea really how effective the US and the UK are at conducting these missions.”
