Via Breaking 911:

    North Korean Ambassador to the UN Kim In Ryong says the United States has created a situation in which “thermonuclear war may break out at any moment.”

    “[North Korea] is ready to react to any mode of war desired by the U.S.,” he said during a press conference in New York City, Monday.

    The remarks come as Vice President Mike Pence traveled to South Korea Monday, saying the “era of strategic patience is over.”

Via Daily Mail:

    The US is sending two more aircraft carriers towards the Korean Peninsula, it has been claimed.

    Donald Trump has already dispatched the USS Carl Vinson, powered by nuclear reactors, carrying almost 100 aircraft and accompanied by destroyers, a cruiser, and a submarine to the region.

    Reports in South Korea claim the US President is bolstering the deployment by sending the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Nimitz (pictured above) to the Sea of Japan next week.

    It comes as Trump warned North Korea that it needs to keep its nuclear ambitions in check, telling dictator Kim Jong-un he has ‘got to behave’.

    USS Ronald Reagan is currently stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, according to Yonhap News Agency while the USS Nimitz is undergoing ‘final pre-deployment assessment’ off Oregon.

    Like the USS Carl Vinson, both vessels are more than 1,000ft long, and capable of carrying more than 90 aircraft.

    News of their possible deployment comes days after North Korea staged a huge military parade as part of a day of celebrations to mark the 105th anniversary of the birth of the country’s founder Kim Il Sung.

    There are fears Pyongyang is preparing to carry out a sixth nuclear test.

    This morning, US Vice President Mike Pence assured Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Tuesday that America is ready to work closely with its Asian allies in the region to achieve ‘a peaceable resolution and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.’

    ‘We appreciate the challenging times in which the people of Japan live with increasing provocations from across the Sea of Japan,’ Pence said after arriving from Seoul for talks with Abe.
