Daily Mail: LINK ]US flies supersonic B-1B bomber show of force mission against Kim Jong Un's North Korea after death of American student Otto Warmbier
Power: Two U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancers assigned to the 9th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron fly a 10-hour mission from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, with two South Korean air force F-15s in the vicinity of the Korean peninsula
Warning: The two supersonic bombers flew their mission the day after US student Otto Warmbier died

South Korea says the United States has flown two supersonic bombers over the Korean Peninsula in a show of force during joint military drills.
U.S. and South Korean warplanes regularly conduct drills, but Tuesday's flights came shortly after the death of a U.S. college student who was recently released by North Korea in a coma following more than 17 months of captivity.
Seoul's Defense Ministry said the B-1B bombers were part of routine exercises with South Korea aimed at showing deterrence against North Korea.

The sound of freedom.

the potential for a strike on NK is real. If the hawks cant get their war with Russia then NK will suffice for the interim. And nobody in their right mind would defend NK. And sanctions against a dictator willing to starve his own people is a waste of time.
We supply the air support, let RSK do the ground and pound, everybody wins

Serious question.
Where do the pilots urinate on a long flying mission?

So we obviously wouldn't go to war over one person, especially a person who admitted to breaking the sovereign laws of that country and therefore subjected themselves to that country's inherent right to govern itself.
American toursists are jailed and even killed every year for violating strict religious rules involving alcohol throughout the Middle East. We respond by doing business with Saudi Arabia, a country that has Al-Hisbah religious police.

They take dexhydradrine. It was developed in the Cold War (by a Korean design bureau under USSR support, ironically enough) for pilots on potential long-range bombing missions into the American heartland.
Basically holds all of your water weight and converts the toxins and waste product in urine/decal matter back into usable proteins.
It's use is not sustainable for long periods (longer than 7-10 days), and side-effects include cramps and halitosis. But it works well enough for these types of missions.
Not a lot of people know about these actually.
