Washington (CNN)The US Navy is moving the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier to the Korean Peninsula where it will conduct dual-carrier training exercises with the USS Carl Vinson amid heightened tensions in the region, two defense officials told CNN.
The move comes just days after North Korea demonstrated a significant leap forward in their missile program after launching a projectile that achieved "successful" controlled reentry into the Earth's lower atmosphere rather than falling back to the surface, according to a preliminary US intelligence analysis, two US officials tell CNN.
The USS Ronald Reagan departed for the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday after completing a maintenance period and sea trials in its homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, according to the Navy.

(32,003 posts)Do you want to wait until N.Korea detonates a nuclear bomb in S. Korea or Japan and then complain why the U.S. did nothing despite warnings?

(3,827 posts)making decisions about North Korea.. Men who have the mindset of a toddler should be excluded from any conversation about war, nuclear war, and the band WAR- it goes that deep.
The better question I'd like to ask you is:
Do you want Donald Trump and his circus to be in charge of a conflict with any country on this Earth?
