United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea

skade88 writes "The New York Times is reporting that the United States has started flying B-2 stealth bomber runs over South Korea as a show of force to North Korea. The bombers flew 6,500 miles to bomb a South Korean island with mock explosives. Earlier this month the U.S. Military ran mock B-52 bombing runs over the same South Korean island. The U.S. military says it shows that it can execute precision bombing runs at will with little notice needed. The U.S. also reaffirmed their commitment to protecting its allies in the region. The North Koreans have been making threats to turn South Korea into a sea of fire. North Korea has also made threats claiming they will nuke the United States' mainland."

    Better way. Ignore them completely. Don't acknowledge them, don't respond. Act like you you don't even hear them.

    Pretend they don't even exist.

    I must be missing something in my parent's posts because I see him saying "Appeasement was a great strategy because it only caused 60 million people to die."

    I don't mean this as an insult and I was once of a similar mind. But, I'm going to guess that you have been restricted (willfully or culturally) to an Americanized history of WWII. Read (or watch) about the events of the 1930s in western and central Europe. France and England stood by and LET Hitler take what he wanted with Chamberlain signing non-aggression pacts and getting autographed night stand pictures of Hitler all because of the sour taste that WWI left in the mouths of Europeans. I'll chalk it up to American education (left over from the Cold War) and not hold it against you all that much.

    You think you're telling me stuff I don't know, but you're not. In fact, I don't know what the fuck you think I was taught in high school since you're just repeated what I was taught in high school.
