Trump orders military advisers to prepare plans to hit North Korea

President Trump has ordered his military advisers to be ready with a list of options to smash North Korea’s nuclear threat.

One of the advisers, Lieutenant General H. R. McMaster, confirmed his Commander-in-Chief has made the order as a U.S. carrier strike group heads for the region.

It is believed that among the options are combined special forces raids and pre-emptive missile strikes.

One of the problems facing an American-led operation to hit Pyongyang’s leader Kim Jong-Un is the intricate tunnel network under the capital.

War-planners have had difficulty mapping out the subterranean complex and believe there are hundreds of underground artillery and airplane sites.

McMaster described the decision to redeploy the USS Carl Vinson to the Sea of Japan as ‘prudent’ given North Korea’s ‘pattern of provocative behavior.’

Fake news or leaked news? Is North Korea supposed to know this?

Wouldn’t such actions against North Korea result in restarting the Korean War??

It would be surprising to me if he hadn’t ordered something like this.

The 150,000 Chinese on N. K.’s Northern border is not something I’ll real pleased with.

Sure wish they’d take care of this.

Totes legit.

Cause I remember how much Trump stressed how he believes in giving the enemy fair warning, a heads up and exactly what the strategy will be. /s.

He usually keeps his cards close to his vest. This is very much unlike Trump.

Perhaps just a chance to shoot down another of fat boy’s “experimental” missiles. Maybe a reminder that lil’ Kim is Xi’s b*tch.

I think they’re trying to get fat boy to freak out and get killed by his own military.

Fat boy wants to test a nuclear bomb on April 15, his grandad's 105 birthday.

We shall see.

The question is whether this is a lying leftist media outlet. I don’t know.

This is highly confidential info.

Either this is b/s or Trump has more security leaks in his camp. Either way, this should not have been published.

Sometimes these type of stories are intentionally leaked to put pressure on an opponent.

They’re not there to help Kim. If Kim moves his troops South, so do the Chinese. Kim has no good moves left. I wonder if the game is to put so much pressure on him that the NK generals decide that a coup d’etat is in order.

If Trump hits NK, China surely will invade and take control. This is why they are WAITING on the border! As usual, the dirty work will be done by the U.S. first, though.

While China is preoccupied with occupying NK, how about we TAKE their man-made military base islands in the Asian Pacific while they're distracted with NK?

He may have asked them to look into a possible strike, look at what would happen if NK shot off a real nuke, who would defend NK and what to expect from the Chinese.

The plan is to drop a bunker buster right into Fatboi’s rice bowl.
