REVEALED: Donald Trump's strategy for taking
out North Korea's nukes THE US has revealed its strategy for taking
out North Korea's nuclear weapons programme. The Pentagon released the information after
two Democratic congressmen asked about casualty assessments in a war with the hermit kingdom. Rear Admiral Michael J Dumont of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff is now assessing tyrant Kim Jong-uns ability to target South Korean
cities with long-range artillery, rockets and ballistic missiles. He said the only way to take out Kims nuclear
stockpile would be through a ground invasion.
Dumont said the amount of casualties would
vary dramatically depending on the advance warning. He added: A classified briefing would be
the best place to discuss in detail the capability of the US and it allies to discuss capabilities
to counter North Koreas ability to respond with a nuclear weapon and eliminate North
Koreas nuclear weapons located in deeply buried, underground facilities. In a chilling rebuke, 15 Democratic lawmakers
and one Republican said an invasion could result in hundreds of thousands, or even millions
of deaths in just the first few days of fighting. They wrote: The thought of sending troops
into harms way and expending resources on another potentially unwindable war is chilling.
The President needs to stop making provocative
statements that hinder diplomatic options and put American troops further at risk. North Korea yesterday warned its nukes are
in their final stage and ruled out talks with the US. The regime also threatened its enemies with
merciless destruction as Trump arrives in Asia for a series of talks. The hermit kingdom is nearly totally surrounded
by a wall of US warships, bombers and missiles with more than 80,000 soldiers.
US forces have been packing into the region
as tensions are set to snap with North Korea over its quest for an ICBM. Three US aircraft carriers are currently operating
in the Pacific in a show of military might. USS Nimitz, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS
Ronald Reagan became the first trio of carriers to operate in the region for a decade. Tensions have reached new highs after Kim
threatened to fire the Juche Bird.
The missile would fly a live nuclear warhead
into the heart of the Pacific and explode, a provocation that could start World War 3. Trump will be in Asia until November 13 finishing
his tour with trips to Vietnam and the Philippines..
