U.S. Navy Strike Group To Move Toward The Korean Peninsula

North Korea feels as though it has the moral authority to lecture the United States for taking action against a brutal tyrant who gasses children. That’s right. The oppressive state said the United State’s actions are “absolutely unpardonable.”

Funny, coming from the chubby dictator who starves his own people and murders anyone who dares to dissent.

“Some forces are loud-mouthed that the recent U.S. military attack on Syria is an action of warning us but we are not frightened by it,” a Foreign Ministry official said via the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

“We will bolster up in every way our capability for self-defense to cope with the U.S. evermore reckless moves for a war and defend ourselves with our own force,” the report continued.

In reaction, the U.S. is moving a Navy strike group toward the Korean peninsula.

“We feel the increased presence is necessary,” the official said, citing North Korea’s worrisome behavior.

 

The news was first reported by Reuters.

 

In a statement late Saturday, the U.S. Navy’s Third Fleet said the strike group had been directed to sail north, but it did not specify the destination. The military vessels will operate in the Western Pacific rather than making previously planned port visits to Australia, it added.

Like Charles Krauthammer said, it’s not that there’s a new sheriff in town. There is a sheriff in town.
