Massive US Navy Strike Group Heading Towards Korean Peninsula

SEOUL — A U.S. Navy strike group led by the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier was making its way toward the Korean peninsula Sunday “to maintain readiness” as Kim Jong Un’s regime in North Korea prepared to mark key anniversaries this coming week.

North Korea is expected to hold a huge military parade on April 15 to celebrate the 105th birthday of its founding president, Kim Il Sung, and to mark the 85th anniversary of the creation of the Korean People's Army on April 25 with similar fanfare.

Analysts expect the recent barrage of missile launches to continue, and activities around the country’s known nuclear test site have raised concerns North Korea may be preparing for a sixth nuclear test.

Over the weekend, North Korea said it was not afraid of military strikes like those the United States launched on Syria last week, saying it could defend itself with its “tremendous military muscle with a nuclear force.”

In this atmosphere, the Carl Vinson strike group, which includes a carrier air wing and two guided-missile destroyers, was ordered to travel to the “western Pacific.” When the group left Singapore on Saturday, it was bound for Australia before receiving the new orders...

Just a little show of strength to keep little Kimmy in line. As long as it doesn't escalate the North Korean's should sit back and enjoy the parade.

The scary thing is DJT seems to be itching for a little military conflict to take American's minds off of all the crap that is going on at home. Just need some pictures of bigly ships and really bright explosions to keep them gleefully going right along.
