US puts on 3-carrier show of force for first time in decade.
Three US Navy aircraft carriers put on show of strength in the Western Pacific Ocean over the weekend, the first time three of the 100,000-ton behemoths have sailed together in a decade. The presence of the three-carrier flotilla in Pacific waters is seen as a signal to North Korea that the US will not be intimidated by Pyongyang's continued testing of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. But Pyongyang has seen any US military exercises as a threat and the presence of the three carriers has been received no differently. North Korean government officials told CNN's Will Ripley in Pyongyang last week that the US was increasingly taking action that could ignite another Korean War. Nobody knows when and how the 'war maniac' Trump will ignite the 'wick of war'.
Reading this honestly scares me because who knows what will happen if a Korean War breaks out, having Trump as President is not going to be much aid to the United States.

The dangerous nuclear tests being conducted by North Korea are terrifying, and the U.S., if anybody, should be able to deal with an international threat if NECESSARY. Not if Trump feels like they're hurting his feelings, only if it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
