Threat assessed
The US will defend itself and its "treaty ally" South Korea in the face of North Korean threats, Secretary of State John Kerry has said.
Mr Kerry made the pledge while speaking at a news conference with his South Korean counterpart Yun Byung-se.
Pyongyang has taken a series of defiant measures in the wake of its third nuclear test in February.
North Korea has been angered by the resultant UN sanctions and joint US-South Korea annual military drills.
Mr Kerry described recent rhetoric from the North Korean government as "unacceptable".
The Pentagon said two missile destroyers, the USS Decatur and the USS McCain, had been deployed to the region.
"They will be poised to respond to any missile threats to our allies or our territory," Pentagon spokesman George Little said.

When will the idiots who control our fate on this planet. Stop acting like spoiled brats on the playground. Drawing imaginary lines in the sand, and daring each other to cross it.
Put those idiots in a boxing ring, let them duke it out one-on-one....leave the rest of us peace loving people to live our lives without being drug into their drama.
I'm getting sick of all this huffing and puffing by idiots who'll never see a field of battle in person.

I really agree with ya, but I'm not sure we will agree on the reasoning. I think what Obama SHOULD be doing right now is moving what is available in the overall West Pacific into that area and publicly. I think that would send a message that we do not want this to happen and the force will be in place to quash it before it even really got started.
Instead, the Navy has deemed Kim so powerful and so serious a threat, he rates 1 whole destroyer? I believe I'd read where there is a second one, the USS McCain, also in the area or headed there. The fact it's even something to ponder is the whole problem.
Go in all the way or stay out.....is my feeling about the Military on this. This is NOT an "Overseas Contingency Operation" as the new name became when administrations changed in 2009, eh? This will be a real war ....Kim loves his missiles. Absolutely, positively LOVES them. Loves making them, too and to unknown numbers. I'd feel real real nervous as a Sailor on one of those Destroyers without a good % of the Pacific Fleet in the neighborhood. Carriers and all.
