US bombers fly off North Korea's coast in show of force as official says conflict 'inevitable'

• US Air Force bombers escorted by fighter jets flew over waters east of North Korea on Saturday.
• The Pentagon said it was a show of force designed to show the range of military options available to President Trump.
• This is the farthest north of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) any U.S. aircraft has flown off North Korea's coast in the 21st century.

North Korea said on Saturday targeting the U.S. mainland with its rockets was inevitable after "Mr. Evil President" Donald Trump called Pyongyang's leader "rocket man", further escalating rhetoric over the North's nuclear weapons and missile programs.

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho's remarks to the United Nations General Assembly came hours after U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers escorted by fighters flew in international airspace over waters east of North Korea, in a show of force the Pentagon said showed the range of military options available to Trump.

Ri's speech capped a week of rising tensions between Washington and Pyongyang, with Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un trading insults. Trump called Kim a "madman" on Friday, a day after Kim dubbed him a "mentally deranged U.S. dotard."

On Saturday, the mudslinging continued with Ri calling Trump "a mentally deranged person full of megalomania and complacency" who is trying to turn the United Nations into a "gangsters' nest". Ri said Trump himself was on a "suicide mission" after the U.S. president had said Kim was on such a mission.

"'President Evil' is holding the seat of the U.S. President," Ri said, warning that Pyongyang was ready to defend itself if the United States showed any sign of conducting a "decapitating operation on our headquarters or military attack against our country."

"Now we are finally only a few steps away from the final gate of completion of the state nuclear force," Ri told the annual gathering of world leaders.

He said sanctions would have no effect on Pyongyang's resolve to develop its nuclear weapons, with the ultimate goal being "balance of power with the U.S."

Trump announced new U.S. sanctions on Thursday that he said allow targeting of companies and institutions that finance and facilitate trade with North Korea.

Earlier this month the U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted its ninth round of sanctions on Pyongyang to counter its nuclear and ballistic missiles programs.

The U.S. bombers' flight was the farthest north of the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea that any U.S. fighter jet or bomber has flown in the 21st century, the Pentagon said.

"This mission is a demonstration of U.S. resolve and a clear message that the President has many military options to defeat any threat," said Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White.

"We are prepared to use the full range of military capabilities to defend the U.S. homeland and our allies."

North Korea has launched dozens of missiles this year, several flying over Japan, as it accelerates its program aimed at enabling it to target the United States with a nuclear-tipped missile.

Earlier on Saturday, U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers escorted by fighter jets flew in international airspace over waters east of North Korea.

The Pentagon said the maneuver was a show of force that demonstrated the range of military options available to the president.

The flight, which was disclosed shortly before North Korea's foreign minister was due to address the United Nations, was the farthest north of the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea that any U.S. fighter jet or bomber has flown in the 21st century, the Pentagon said.

"This mission is a demonstration of U.S. resolve and a clear message that the President has many military options to defeat any threat," said Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White, calling North Korea's weapons program "a grave threat."

"We are prepared to use the full range of military capabilities to defend the U.S. homeland and our allies," White said.

Nothing is going to happen. It's all for show.

Trump needs to accept his limitations and shut the fukk up. Why do hundreds of thousands of civilians have to die, and the economy of south Korea wrecked, Japan also suffering a hit, so that the US can appear effective?

Even if the US starts a war, the heavy lifting will be done by South Korea and the stabilization of North Korea can only be done with Chinese help.
This practically guarantees South Korea fulling entering the orbit of China and the loss of all US influence.

Its a win-win scenario for China, if there is no war it will all have a unified Korea within its orbit and kick the US out of the region within 30 years. If there is a war, it gets all that within a few years.

I wouldn't say that nothing is going to happen. There's a risk for limited conflict, with both nK and US conducting provocative actions like this and with the current leadership of both, it only takes one small incident for this to boil over. Remember, the Koreas exchanged ARTILLERY FIRE only 2 years ago.

I do agree that the situation is a win/win for China in the long run

Probably what America was thinking while European powers exhausted themselves in conflict after conflict and trying to prop up their diminishing empires.

 

[Mr Rager]

Good ole fashioned brinksmanship...wonder what KJU will do in response

I'm not sure if this is as much a show of force as it is showing Trump a presentation of what planes do.

i agree to an extent, however the world has never seen an industrialized military complex the likes of which america possesses.
i'm no fan of it but you gotta admit that it can fukk shyt up.
the US military can spend decades in a useless battle, take loss after loss and still project force anywhere in the world within hours.

but every empire breaks at some point...america is no different.
we just did it bigger and better than anyone before.
