North Korea SURROUNDED: US warships, bombers, missiles and 80,000 soldiers READY
NORTH Korea is nearly totally surrounded by a wall of US warships, bombers and missiles
with more than 80,000 soldiers on alert as Donald Trump heads for Asia.
The US President is jetting into the Pacific this week for a whistle-stop tour of the nations
surrounding North Korea.
Trump will be popping in for one-on-one meetings with the leaders of China, South Korea and
Japan – with Kim Jong-un's nukes right at the top of the agenda.
At his back with be a the world's biggest military war machine – poised to strike
should the crisis go south with North Korea.
He visited the US Pacific Command just days ago – who will oversee every single vessel,
plane and soldier sitting in a ring of steel around Kim.
Daily Star Online can now reveal the monstrous arsenal at Trump's fingertips as he faces
down North Korea.
US forces have been packing into the region as the tensions are set to snap with North
Korea over its quest for ICBM.
Three US aircraft carriers are currently operating in the Pacific in an colossal flex of Trump's
military biceps.
USS Nimitz, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Ronald Reagan became the first trio of carriers
to operate in the region for a decade.
Each of these three warship bring with it a fully stocked wing of up to 90 warplanes
and choppers.
While steaming alongside are their escorts of destroyers and submarines making up the
US's mighty carrier strike groups.
The US's 7th Fleet has its headquarters in Japan – and brings up to 70 ships and
submarines under its command, including 14 missile-packed destroyers.
Just this week, a squadron of 12 F-35 fighter planes screamed over the Pacific and landed
at their new base in Japan.
More than 100 bases are scattered across the islands, with around 50,000 servicemen stationed
there.
Meanwhile, right on Kim's doorstep there are more than 30,000 US soldiers stations
in bases in South Korea.
More than 300 tanks are stationed just a stone's throw from North Korea, along with armoured
vehicles and artillery.
And then there is the thorn in Kim's side Guam, which he regularly threatened to launch
missiles at.
The island paradise hides the US's fleet of nuclear-capable B-2 bombers, as well bunk
busting B-1B Lancers.
Colossal B-52 Stratofortress warplanes also can bee seen rolling around Andersen Air Force
Base.
Each of these is capable of carrying 70,000 lbs of bombs and 20 cruise missiles.
Tensions have reached new heights as Trump makes his first ever visit to Asia – with
Kim threatening to fire the "Juche Bird".
The missile would fly a live nuclear warhead into the heart of the Pacific and explode,
a provocation that could start World War 3.
Trump will be in Asia until November 13 – finishing his tour with trips to Vietnam and the Philippines.
