U S Fighter Jets Fly to S . Korea: Where Is Denis Rodman At? S Korea's Pres Warned N Korea of Strong Response!
"As commander-in-chief of the armed forces, I will trust the military's judgment on abrupt and surprise provocations by North Korea," she said, according to Yonhap. The deployment and Park's remarks came as tensions approached an all-time high between Pyongyang and Washington. Kim Jong Un has ratcheted up the rhetoric against both South Korea and the United States in recent months, and in February violated U.N. sanctions by ordering a nuclear weapons test.
On Saturday, North Korea said it had entered a "state of war" against South Korea, according to a statement reported by the North's official news agency, KCNA. The U.S. military command in South Korea announced the deployment of the fighter jets in a statement. "[North Korea] will achieve nothing by threats or provocations, which will only further isolate North Korea and undermine international efforts to ensure peace and stability in Northeast Asia," it said.
The exercise, called "Foal Eagle," is meant to reinforce "the U.S. commitment of its most advanced capabilities to the security of the Republic of Korea," according to the statement. The stealth aircraft were deployed to the Osan Air Base in South Korea from Japan to engage in bilateral military drills. Kim has also recently threatened to "settle accounts" with the U.S. and posed near a chart that appeared to detail bombings of American cities. The F-22 jets' arrival follows other recent displays of air power by the U.S. in South Korea. Last week B-52 bombers and B-2 stealth bombers were sent to the country for the annual exercise.
In another sign of how tense things have become, Pope Francis on Easter Sunday called for “renewed spirit of reconciliation” on the Korean Peninsula. In North Korea, meanwhile, KCNA reported on an Easter service at which it said "the participants renewed the firm resolution to put the warmongers [the US and South Korea] into the red hot iron-pot of hell as early as possible."

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- The South Korean president on Monday warned North Korea that any provocative moves will be met with "a strong response" as the United States deployed stealth fighter jets in the tense region as part of joint military exercises. "If there is any provocation against South Korea and its people, there should be a strong response in initial combat without any political considerations," President Park Geun-hye said at a meeting with senior defense and security officials, according to her office. Her comments came after North Korea rattled off fresh volleys of bombastic rhetoric over the weekend, declaring that it had entered a "state of war" with the South and labeling the U.S. mainland a "boiled pumpkin," vulnerable to attack.

Why is South Korea talking about a response from the United States???????
She (Park Geun-Hye) needs to shut her mouth and aint nothing going to happen!!!!
Besides is she going to pay for the jet-fuel cost of the military exercise....???
A so-called ally that ships 100 Hyandai and other Korean cars to America and they only purchase one or two of American cars. America has been played by these outcast characters Japan & South Korea.
Not one America life is worth dying for either Japan or South Korea..... America should worry about going broke, that is the Federal government.
Believe me the next military confrontation will not be like the last.... Missiles are going to win the next major wars coming very soon!
Obama is bluffing... notice China and Russia is quite and Obama is on the phone begging China to calm North Korea down.
Another false-flag again!!!
This is propaganda to the highest level !!
