US conducts first precision bombing drill with South Korea in 7 years as tensions with North Korea rise

The United States flew a long-range B-1B bomber over the Korean Peninsula on Wednesday for its first precision-guided bombing drill with South Korea in seven years, the South's military said.

The drill — seen as a show of force against North Korea — comes as tensions are rising over the North's recent launches of rubbish-carrying balloons toward South Korea and other provocations.

Wednesday's training involved other advanced U.S. and South Korean fighter jets as well as the B-1B aircraft, the second U.S. bomber temporarily deployed over the Korean Peninsula this year. The exercise was meant to demonstrate the U.S. security commitment to South Korea and strengthen the allies' joint defense posture, according to the South Korean Defense Ministry.

North Korea is also very close to Russia, not just China. They can act as a puppet of either Russia or China depending on what needs doing. And the prize of South Korea is ever before their eyes. Like China taking over Hong Kong in the early 90's they see an economic prize and don't understand why it won't be a cash cow once they sanitize it with their version of Communism.
