WAR LOOMS!!! AS CHINA, RUSSIA CONDUCTING MILITARY DRILL NEAR NORTH- KOREA…SEE
Christian Rowland writing for ODOGWU MEDIA...In Beijing, the official
Xinhua news agency said China and Russia began naval drills off the
Russian far eastern port of Vladivostok, not far from the Russia-North
Korea border.
Those drills were being conducted
between Peter the Great Bay, near Vladivostok, and the southern part of
the Sea of Okhotsk, to the north of Japan, it said.
The drills are the second part of
China-Russian naval exercises this year, the first part of which was
staged in the Baltic in July. Xinhua did not directly link the drills to
current tension over North Korea.
The
flurry of military drills came after Pyongyang fired another mid-range
ballistic missile over Japan on Friday and the reclusive North conducted
its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sept. 3 in defiance of
United Nations sanctions and other international pressure.
A
pair of U.S. B-1B bombers and four F-35 jets flew from Guam and Japan
and joined four South Korean F-15K fighters in the latest drill, South
Korea’s defense ministry said.
The
joint drills were being conducted “two to three times a month these
days”, Defence Minister Song Young-moo told a parliamentary hearing on
Monday.
China and Russia have repeatedly called for a peaceful solution and talks to resolve the issue.
On
Sunday, however, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said
the U.N. Security Council had run out of options on containing North
Korea’s nuclear program and the United States might have to turn the
matter over to the Pentagon.
Military threats from various parties have not promoted a resolution to the issue, he said.
“This is not beneficial to a final resolution to the peninsula nuclear issue,” Lu told a daily news briefing.
U.S.
President Donald Trump has vowed that North Korea will never be able to
threaten the United States with a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile.
Asked
about Trump’s warning last month that the North Korean threat to the
United States would be met with “fire and fury”, Haley said: “It was not
an empty threat.
