US deploys SECOND huge 100,000 ton warship near North Korea: ‘We are ready for ANYTHING’

USS Theodore Roosevelt – dubbed the “Big Stick” – has arrived in the western Pacific.

The 100,000-ton warship is now steaming to join super carrier USS Ronald Reagan which has been carrying out war drills in the Korean Peninsula.

It is rare to have two aircraft carriers in the region at one time.

North Korea will be furious with the move, believing US military drills in the region are rehearsals for war.

Isn't that the definition of a military drill?

US Navy sends a 3rd aircraft carrier to the Pacific after it completes mission against ISIS

The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and its accompanying strike group of destroyers have left the Middle East, where they had launched airstrikes against ISIS, to back up US forces in the Pacific, the US Navy announced on Wednesday.

The Navy says the Nimitz is heading to the Pacific on a previously scheduled visit, but it will be the third carrier in the region joining the USS Ronald Reagan, which stays in Japan year-round, and the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which is currently in the Pacific well east of Japan.

According to the Navy, the Nimitz just finished three months fighting ISIS, with over 903 bombs dropped. ISIS fighters are now surrendering en masse as US-backed regional forces close in on them.

Gen. Jeong Kyeong-doo, chairman of South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and US Forces Korea chief Army Gen. Vincent Brooks met aboard the Reagan after the drills, with Jeong saying that the carrier sent a "strong warning" to North Korea "amid an unprecedentedly grave security situation," according to Yonhap news.

The US, South Korea, and Japan just concluded a missile-defense drill near Korea with their cutting-edge naval-defense platforms. The drill focused on improving situational awareness and readiness while North Korea threatens to send more missiles flying over Japan.
