U.S.-South Korean Naval Maneuvers in a Show of Force for North Korea

10/20/2017

Like the recent B1-B strategic bomber overflights, America’s largest forward-deployed naval vessel, the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, and the forward-deployed Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Stethem demonstrate U.S. resolve as they maneuver alongside the Republic of Korea’s navy in a 40-ship flotilla stretching from the Yellow Sea into the Sea of Japan.

Denounced by North Korea as a “rehearsal for war,” both China and Russia have recently signaled support for increased U.N. sanctions against North Korea, which reinforces to the world, if not to North Korea, that this U.S. administration is not like previous administrations. While not widely publicized in the U.S., the Chinese recently hosted a senior delegation of American defense officials and military officers. Widely broadcast photographs inside of China show President Xi closely collaborating with this U.S. delegation as a way to reassure his population that China and the U.S. are not at odds but are working together on the North Korean challenge.
​
​It is hard to see how Kim Jong Un can self-arrest his breakout push for nuclear weapons or how the Trump administration can allow this hostile nuclear development to continue. Therefore, I believe war is inevitable. If that is true, these are some of the combined naval forces that will play a critical role.
