Tomorrow is war, but the US Army is not aware

19
In the US Army there are no signs of preparing a disarming strike on the DPRK.






Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un almost daily exchange threatening statements, after which, in theory, an exchange of nuclear missiles should begin immediately. However, the US Armed Forces do not seem to suspect that the war will begin any minute. Army, aviation and the U.S. Navy is engaged in normal daily activities.

Despite the extremely harsh rhetoric of the leaders of the United States and North Korea, the United States armed forces not only show signs of a strategic, but even operational deployment of troops, forces and assets of the army and fleet. According to Defense News, if you track the latest news world news agencies or read the messages of US President Donald Trump on Twitter, you might get the impression that the United States is one step away from a nuclear war with North Korea. But, according to the publication, it seems that the American troops forgot about this warning.

North Korea threatens to launch a missile attack on Andersen’s airbase on Guam, US President Donald Trump tweeted that military solutions to the North Korean problem are ready, NBC claimed that the United States had prepared a plan to hit North Korea’s missile bases with the help of B-1 bombers “Lancer ". In short, the lack of such messages recently there.


However, while such rhetoric in the District of Columbia is approaching an extreme degree of heat, at the headquarters of the joint command of US forces in the Pacific, no one knows that the world is on the verge of nuclear war.

On the basis of the US Navy in Yokosuka, the nuclear assault aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan is peacefully standing at the pier. The command and staff ship 7 of the US Blue Ridge fleet is moored nearby. The US State Department has not yet given a command to US citizens to urgently leave the Republic of Korea, and the members of the families of the US military also do not evacuate from this country in fire order.

US marines are not loaded onto landing craft, and officers and sailors of the 7 fleet of the United States do not withdraw from holidays to carry out urgent combat missions.

US Navy ships with a missile defense potential did not proceed to operational deployment in the waters surrounding the Korean Peninsula, or to protect the island of Guam. In other words, the practically unbridled rhetoric from the US President and some other American politicians do not correspond much to what is actually happening in the region.


Just in case, the US military declares that the troops are highly alert and ready to repel any attack from the enemy. "We are always at a high level of alert and have all the necessary capabilities to counter any threat, including those coming from North Korea," said Christopher Logan, lieutenant colonel of the Marine Corps.

Nevertheless, the US military in their statements often follow the general political line of Washington. In particular, not so long ago, very controversial information came from the leadership of the US Navy's 3 fleet. In accordance with this statement, instantly spread by all the news agencies of the world, the US Navy nuclear attack aircraft carrier Carl Vinson was heading in all directions towards North Korea. And only then figured out that the ship is located many thousands of miles from the DPRK in the Indian Ocean.

The militaristic rhetoric is far ahead of the real facts on the ground, and the general background information is not very close to reality. In this regard, a number of experts remind that in many respects the First World War was unleashed precisely because of a series of diplomatic blunders.

At the same time, in the parts and formations of the US armed forces in the Pacific, calm reigns, and personnel are engaged in daily activities.

“No one in the headquarters of the joint command of the armed forces in the Pacific Ocean region tears hair on his head. Here calm and professionalism reigns

- said the source of the publication Defense News. “As for the close start of a nuclear missile war, this is so far only the rhetoric of the federal district of Columbia.”

The B-1 strategic bombers from the Andersen airbase, about which so much was said on the news agency tapes, have recently been flying solely according to the combat training plan and not heading towards the Korean Peninsula.

Nevertheless, at the official level, it is constantly stated that the US armed forces are ready to defend South Korea, other Pacific Allies and the continental part of the United States from nuclear and missile strikes by Kim Jong-un. In particular, the chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joe Dunford and General Vincent K. Brooks, the commander of the combined armed forces in Korea, said that the capabilities and means deployed in South Korea are enough to protect this country from strikes from the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.

Both commanders at the headquarters of the joint armed forces in the Republic of Korea said that American and South Korean specialists would continue to investigate threats from North Korea and, if necessary, make changes to the composition of the forces and assets required to repel a possible missile strike. Both generals made these statements after meetings with high-ranking Korean leaders, including President of the Republic of Korea Moon Zhe Ina, Secretary of Defense Song Yang Mua and General of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Korea Lee Song-jin. The parties once again confirmed the invariance of allied obligations.

The United States and South Korea want a peaceful solution to the crisis, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States said. “I would like to see Kim Jong-un to commit himself to stop developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missile tests, ”said Joe Dunford.

In response to questions about what the US command would do if North Korea launched missiles in the direction of Guam, General Dunford once again asked journalists not to confuse hostilities with politics.

“Today, discussing a preemptive strike on North Korea is at least premature,” said Joe Dunford. According to him, the United States is currently focused on diplomatic and economic pressure on the regime of Kim Jong-un to force North Korea to abandon its harmful intentions. “The military aspect is today viewed by us only as a means of supporting diplomatic and economic efforts,” said Dunford, “and we are currently seeking a peaceful solution to the crisis.”

General Brooks, in turn, reaffirmed that the alliance of the United States and South Korea has sufficient forces and is ready to repel threats from North Korea. According to him, on the peninsula today is 28,5 thousand American troops. In addition, the armed forces of South Korea have 660 thousand chelochek, at any time ready to defend their homeland.

General Brooks noted the important role played by the joint military exercises of units and formations of the armed forces of the United States and the Republic of Korea. Regular exercises are scheduled to begin soon. The warlord said for granted that this is condemned by North Korea.

“Therefore, our joint exercises are so important,” the general stressed, “we must have a deterrent, and this should support our diplomatic actions. The threats from Kim Jong-un are serious and we must be prepared for them. ”

      For any operation, the Americans need to import material assets, food, weapons and ammunition into the required region for about six months. And this is with the deployed database system. That's why they are now getting off with missile and bomb strikes. Americans can no longer conduct ground operations. Moreover, they scoop up at the slightest opportunity. The last comment was made by Jacob Kedmi. He also added that now in Israel so

        Americans make PR out of everything, so they would meet every plane arriving in Japan or South Korea. The mass media would go to a shaft of publications about with Korea and its regime, all human rights defenders, defenders of perverts and other trash, reports from military bases Interview with a press officer, briefings by the commander.
        Until that moment, it has always been like that and I think in the case of Korea it will be so in the case of a real attack.

    Unlike the United States, the DPRK is always ready for action, but even there, "the hair on the head does not tear," because sure that they can give a fitting rebuff. But in the Republic of Kazakhstan and Japan, the hair on the top of the head is already being plucked, suggesting how the conflict might end for them.

    If I tell someone what I want to give you in the face right now, this does not mean at all that I will. Wanting and talking does not mean doing. And they can bark at each other as much as they like. The war in those parts is not an operation but Afghanistan. South Korea is also close by, which in the event of a conflict will fully rally in the first place. Now the question is, who needs it and why? Well, unless Uncle Sam had a loft at all

    But why? Mikhail Khodarenok is one of the illustrious ANALYTICS of the network, although I am more loyal to his statements than to "the statements of Alexander Khramchikhin.

    Although much in this article is not a fact. What is the operational deployment of ships with missile defense in the Guam area, when they are already there at the naval base? Or does the author believe that a couple of dozen ships would need to be pulled there?

    The readiness of strategic aircraft has always been quite high. Even for those vehicles that are classified as non-deployed or in active reserve, the term for transferring to “combat” EMNip is about 14-16 hours.

    In the first hours and days of the conflict, no one is going to land in North Korea. Firstly, this will entail huge casualties among the landing, secondly, it can multiply by zero the entire combat plan. Americans can act more carefully in such cases, using only their aircraft. And ground operations should be carried out by forces of the South Korean allies. Moreover, all the conversations of the North Koreans that they will be in Seoul in a day, or that they will turn Seoul into a burning desert, are conversations of about the same sort, ka and inflicting "crushing retribution" on the Americans. For more than 1 years, both sides have been buried in the ground. The strip along the line of demarcation is continuous anti-tank fortifications, ditches, caponiers, etc. No one will move forward until it is destroyed. And to destroy it is not so simple ... In short, IMHO if the conflict is destined to be, then it will not be as classic as it is.

      Most likely, yes, those on duty do not have enough resources for a massive attack, they need supplies, it’s not for a week ...

      But preparation for such an assault is not a matter of one day, it’s not enough just to submerge the personnel and move, you need everything you need to organize a bridgehead, and this is again a lot of resources when it comes to landing from the sea.

      Well, I wouldn’t write off the barrel artillery. I think that they sow the southerners nobly, in which case. It’s not necessary to go to Seoul; you can get it from your territory.
      The author correctly said that until US citizens were recalled from the peninsula (including the military), they would not jerk.

    What kind of resource can we talk about if Un plans to launch 4 rockets in the base. Even taking into account 2 interceptors per rocket - 8 interceptors - this is less than on one Burke. And this is only on Guam. No massive attack on Guam is possible in principle. The number of missiles that can "finish off" to Guam is extremely limited. And the North Koreans will not be fixated exclusively on one base

    Moreover, probably not even one week. But in this case, the Americans have the resources. Same South Korea. Again, I repeat. No one will immediately land from the sea. These are colossal victims from the side of the landing. Whatever they say about the Korean army, that it is armed with old weapons, but the quantity will go into quality. Landing will be all the same. Will they be shot with high-tech shells with a laser guidance system or several hundred (thousands) of unguided shells with 1,5 kg of explosives from MLRS. Most likely, the Americans will apply the same developments as during the war in Iraq. When a mass of interference all Iraqi electronic devices were crushed. So it is here. Crush air defense and anti-ship missiles first, and then systematically destroy the most dangerous systems

    This is if the northerners did not pay attention to them. And they have the same tooth on them as they do on the Americans. And the first thing they will do (in the first hours, at least, if not minutes) is to deliver an artillery strike on the capital. And no matter how well-fed and prosperous Southerners would be, if they attack you, you will fight.

    The author correctly said that until US citizens were recalled from the peninsula (including the military), they would not jerk.

    And nobody writes off the receiver. It’s just that in publications, sometimes the accents are somewhat rearranged, claiming that all artillery will strike. the distance to Seoul from the demarcation line is about 35 km (very conditional. Maybe a little less, maybe a little more). DPRK artillery, although massive, but the number of long-range guns is extremely small against the general background of the amount of artillery. The same "Koksanov" among Koreans is not more than 100 pcs. EMNIP rate of about 5 shots in 2 minutes. Placing the entire hundred in a small area is simply impossible. They will stand close and any cluster munitions that explode over positions will put them out of action. It is extremely difficult to place this "fool" in a closed caponier with a barrel length of 8 meters in EMNIP.
    Of the huge number of MLRS, only MLRS caliber 240 mm and above will be able to strike. How many will be - HZ. But even if we take 200 for the number, then a volley of 4000 shells around a city 30x40 km in size will cause destruction, but will not turn it into a scorched desert, as North Koreans sometimes claim

    about the recall of non-citizens. Yes, sometimes Americans do that. But not the fact that it will be so. They have long advised against visiting North Korea for their citizens. How many American citizens in the South and where are they - no one can say except Americans. Evacuation can also be carried out after the outbreak of hostilities, if they want to achieve surprise. Therefore, this unmasking factor (evacuation) can only remain a factor.

    Well done Americans. They are relaxed and yell a lot on purpose, so as not to cling as long as possible, since there is no hatred with the inability to get along. Kim, it seems, also everything is going in a controlled way, and there are no questions that he would try to find a solution to.

    First you need to win at the tables in quiet offices and prepare public opinion. And roll out the country not for long. US rhetoric has quieted down a bit when the middle class, instead of shouting “We will defeat them,” began to build bomb shelters on an industrial scale. all state media.
    But there is McCain, who is in front of the grave-board for everything “on ...” There are arms corporations that Must earn.
    We will wait for the death of Soros, Clinton, McCain and see the festivals, holiday carnivals and festivities dedicated to their Departure to another world.
