The USS Nimitz, USS Ronald Reagan and USS Theodore Roosevelt represent tangible evidence of American military power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cGeneral Joseph Dunford has described their presence as \u2018coincidental\u2019, but of one thing we can be sure: far from being a matter of chance, the deployment will have been carefully considered in Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIn all likelihood, these ships are already equipped with the military capabilities required to support action against North Korea \u2013 in particular, the cruise missiles carried by the escort vessels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cFor now, the focus is on diplomacy. That is why Donald Trump is touring Asia this week, rattling his sabre during a visit to Japan and soon set to visit Beijing too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIn that context, the presence of the carriers is doubtless intended to reinforce the message to China that the United States cannot tolerate a nuclear-armed North Korea.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The former diplomat inferred that the key to dealing with the rogue nation without the use of military action lies with persuading China to increase its stranglehold on the hermit kingdom through sanctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">However, despite Beijing\u2019s seeming compliance surrounding the rogue nation, Mr Willasey-Wilsey believes the increased pressure on Kim Jong-un\u2019s isolationist state may be too little too late.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">He stated: \u201cYet there will be scepticism in both Beijing and Washington whether Chinese sanctions can deliver a compliant North Korea in an acceptable timeframe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIt will be difficult for China to bring the Kim regime to heel \u2013even with the United States willing to provide assurances, both to Pyongyang and Beijing, that Washington would recognise a non-nuclear North Korea and that the US has no territorial ambitions on the Korean peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cSo the carrier strike forces have another purpose in case all of this fails. That purpose is, obviously, a military one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cIn anticipation of the failure of Chinese diplomatic and economic pressure, the Pentagon will have been looking at the whole range of military options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">\u201cNone of them is attractive and all of them are risky.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/world\/876823\/Donald-Trump-North-Korea-Kim-Jong-un-South-Korea-World-War-3-Seoul-President-Washington<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/world-news\/north-korea-cut-off-tv-as-trump-delivers-renewed-threats-to-kim-jong-un-in-seoul-speech.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Korea CUT OFF TV as Trump delivers renewed threats to Kim Jong-un in Seoul speech The photos of Pyongyang television show a blank screen, highlighting the control that despot leader Kim Jong-un has over the hermit kingdom.
