"Show of force" is how the media have reported US bombers and strike aircraft flying close to North Korean airspace earlier today.

A show of force only because it's details have been revealed to the media. The significance is that this is the first time that US strike aircraft have operated this far north of the DMZ in the Sea of Japan. This is in actual fact a legitimate strike drill with a specific purpose and an escalation of the crisis to the next level.

A military objective in that it's an operational run for the strike package

A military objective to poke the hornet's nest and light up fixed air defence radars for marking as targets in a future SEAD mission

And to get rocket man to show his hand by wheeling his mobile air defence capabilities out of their underground bunkers (because after day 1 that's all he'll have left)
