The United States is boosting the presence of strategic bombers and missiles in Japan and South Korea.

Four B-1-B Lancers, the most powerful bomber in the US arsenal, have on April 15th been deployed to Japan for the first time.

Reports suggest the US may for the first time, also soon directly deploy a squadron of its own F-35s to an American superbase in South Korea. Experts say these moves are meant to send a message to China and Russia, raising fears of military escalation.

I was talking about a hypothetical bomber attack, not WW3. As seen in Ukraine, there's a long way up the escalation ladder before that point is reached and we start hitting mutual destruction options like taking out satellites. Russia could absolutely take out NATO satellites that provide information for Ukraine right now, but they haven't done so and most likely won't.
