You might have thought that North Korea's recent bomb test was worth worrying about, but never fear. Obama has the perfect deterrent. This news comes from CNN's Department of Laughable Propaganda.
Days after North Korea claimed it tested a hydrogen bomb, the United States responded with a display of military might on the Korean Peninsula.
A B-52 bomber jet from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam flew over Osan, South Korea, on Sunday "in response to a recent nuclear test by North Korea," United States Pacific Command said.
North Korea is well aware of the existence of the B-52. It's also well aware that Obama is as likely to send in the B-52 for anything other than PR theater as he is likely to shave his head, join the Republican Party and start calling himself John McCain. This isn't for the benefit of North Korea, it's for our benefit. But let's pretend otherwise anyway.
The show of solidarity has caught the attention -- and likely the ire -- of North Korea.
"They absolutely took notice," CNN's Will Ripley reported from the North Korean capital.
Did the North Koreans see our plane? Yes, they did.
"A lot of North Korean military commanders find U.S. bombers especially threatening, given the destruction here in Pyongyang during the Korean War, when much of the city was flattened," Ripley said.
Which might be more relevant if the Democrat in the White House were Harry Truman not Barack Obama. Nobody finds Barack Obama threatening which is one reason North Korea is acting this way.
CNN is the only U.S. broadcaster operating in North Korea.
Are we supposed to be impressed or disgusted?
The show of solidarity between the U.S. and South Korea came after Seoul reactivated loudspeakers broadcasting propaganda into North Korea near the heavily fortified border between the countries.
Pyongyang considers the broadcasts tantamount to an act of war, and in the past has responded to them with artillery fire.
So South Korea turned up loudspeakers and we flew in a plane... while North Korea becomes more dangerous.
