US Responds To North Korean Nuke Test, Flies B-52 Over South Korea

On Tuesday, North Korea announced it had “successfully” tested a hydrogen bomb.
According to Kim Jong-Un, the test was necessary because America is “a gang of cruel robbers” hell bent on waging nuclear war. “This is a self-defensive step for reliably defending the peace on the Korean Peninsula and regional security from the danger of nuclear war caused by the U.S.-led imperialists,” Kim said.
Subsequently, experts weighed in, noting that based on the device’s yield, it likely wasn’t a “true” H-bomb. Nevertheless, analysts said the test showed the North’s nuclear program is evolving, a decidedly unwelcome prospect for Washington’s ally in Seoul.
In a hilariously absurd retaliatory measure, the South resumed anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts across the DMZ.
Adding insult to injury, the loudspeakers were fired back up on Kim’s birthday.
That prompted the North to declare that the peninsula is “on the brink of war.” Now, for the second time in six months, tensions between Seoul and Pyongyang have reached a fever pitch.
And so, just as The Pentagon was “forced” to send a warship and a B-52 to the Spratlys to deter Chinese “aggression”, the US conducted a B-52 flight in South Korea on Sunday.
