Three mighty US aircraft carriers have teamed upwith Japanese ships for joint naval exercises designed to send a clear warning to North Korea.


The four-day drills that began in waters off South Korea's eastern coast came as President Donald Trump traded insults with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.

The battle groups of the USS Ronald Reagan, the Theodore Roosevelt and the Nimitz will successively enter the exercise area during the drills that run until Tuesday, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said.





Three F/A-18E Super Hornets fly in formation over the aircraft carriers USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), USS Nimitz (CVN 68) and their strike groups, along with ships from the Republic of Korea Navy as they transit the Western Pacific

The three carriers will be likely together in the drills around Monday, according to a South Korean military official, who didn't want to be named, citing office rules.


They will aim to enhance combined operation and aerial strike capabilities and also display 'strong will and firm military readiness to defeat any provocation by North Korea with dominant force in the event of crisis,' Seoul's military said in a statement.

R Kelly - Peace
Peace,....Its what I pray for Peace All night Peace
All around the world.... Peace

Our prayers too.

As much as I'm awe by the sizes of those machines, I feel this show of dominance is totally unnecessary because the moment the first missle goes, the world as we all know it will change forever.

Drums of war beaten and danced by north Korea and united states of America. Where two elements fights south Korea and Japan possibly may represent the grass. I guess Japanese are at alert. Kim Jong may attack first . U.S.A. must apply diplomacy before any offensive then much damages on Japan. Let there be peace.

Dont worry, Trump knows and Kim knows too

No one wants to be the first to fire

Now I know history is not interesting at the time of it happening. But our children will enjoy the story how third world War began

Tired of this show of force without action.

Even if a mad man is in Washington, he will never wish for action because if that happens, Tokyo and Seoul will be destroyed and the world will be in chaos.

Pray for absolute diplomacy and not action bro

This is not funny o.

I've watched several documentaries on the timeline and advancements of the USS carriers and how the Nimitz was built and also advancements in modern warfare and the feeling was like we Africans are aliens in our own planet..
We're 100000 centuries behind..

crazy dude, e no vex for calling him a lunatic, na old e dey para for.

Stop claiming third world war.
If America and North Korea go to war, it will probably be the World against North Korea because they have zero allies.



Worst case scenario is America will be weakened by the war and another world superpower will spring up.

But if you carry a sword you should wish to use it. The threat on NK is just empty as much as nuclear disaster can not be averted on her US allied neighbours. My 1cent.

Which world?If, world is against NK, US for don attack since 70 years ago.
Do you know how many countries are against US? You don't know
Own a nuke and US will only make noise
Gadaffi and Sadam never own a nuke
War is not like that.

Mention one ally of North Korea.
I can run of space identifying allies America can call on to attack North Korea.

Oh no... Americans don't want a nuclear war, and North Korea doesn't want a nuclear war

You think say China go dey look while America dey bomb North Korea?

It's a very difficult situation but both men are calm

I know that a lot of countries are just waiting for NK to beat the drum in order to attack US

NK is just strong enough to openly criticized US and most of US enemies are happy for that.

You see the truth is that many people don't know the true strength of the US military. That is why I laugh if off when Russia displays its latest tech and weapons. US is not just a world power on the books.

Hmm, God help us

We cant say yet bro, till it start.

Not everyone that smiles at you is your true friend.

The us has many quiet enemies looking for who will take the lead.

Someone said, the Japan we are seeing with the US today might turn their back if they have the opportunity(Nagasaki/Hiroshima) still on their mind.

Let the war start first, then you might be surprised at the number of allies NK have
