US reportedly cancels B-52 bomber exercise with South Korea amid threats from North Korea
« on: May 19, 2018, 09:46:19 pm »
A training exercise involving U.S. B-52 bombers flying alongside South Korean warplanes was canceled following threats that Pyongyang would withdraw from a highly anticipated summit with President Donald Trump next month, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing U.S. officials.

According to Friday's report, the officials said South Korea had asked to not participate in an air drill that also involved Japan and the U.S.

The White House referred CNBC's request for comment about the Journal report to the Pentagon, which said plans for a separate exercise is continuing as planned.

The news came a day after the Defense Department said the U.S. had no plans to scale back the exercises.

Bummer , if true. I prefer pressure. Now, a velvet hammer is a good thing too.

Personally, it may be a good sign that one of the worlds rabid dogs is being brought to heel. The only fat man in the NK tried to stop ... I.E. see what leverage he had, the regular war-games. Well, after a few days... we don't fly the B-52s(very nuke capable) ... sends a message(lets de-nuke) and lets the fat one save some face..... and likely his life.

The Kabuki must go on.
