The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson docked in Danang on Monday, marking the first visit by an American aircraft carrier to Vietnam since the end of the Vietnam War.

China sent fully-loaded North Korean cargo ships home and deployed 150,000 troops to the North Korean border this week, even as a U.S. carrier group approached the Korean peninsula and Pyongyang issued threats ranging up to nuclear war.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, currently deployed in waters near South Korea, is being shadowed by both a Chinese spy ship and a Russian spy ship, a defense official told Breitbart News.

North Korea’s latest propaganda video is filled with rocket launchers, jet fighters, military parades, and the money shot of a U.S. aircraft carrier photoshopped to be on fire.
