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.’

I am not worried. The little fat B@$turd will come to the table and start a new era of trade and North Korean Glasnost. It is his only face saving move at this point or get gobsmacked by a Tactical Tomahawk or JASSM . Art of the deal, baby art of the deal. MAGA !

Does this mean that little fat boy is really an alien cockroach in a fat boy suit?

Indeed. The one time we don't have a plan-in-the-can, this happens.

Sean Spicer said again today that the president won’t telegraph his intentions. So if this is true, and is a leak, whoever leaked it is in big trouble.

I think the presence of the ship is enough to put NK on notice, anyway.

I can’t believe Kim is so fat while his citizens are starving. Shades of Marie Antoinette.

Interesting thread for interesting times.

Drudge says Trump is planning to bomb Syria’s capital and take Assad out, too.

Yikes!

Smells like deep state wagging the dog (trump) to me. Change focus from the spying on his campaign. Some of the smart and beautiful people could end up in jail.

No poblem. We keel Russia and then we keel Noth Koea and that fat witte boy. This is one strategy to take care of So. Korea’s (maybe Japan, too) trade deficit.

What a nightmare. Wake me up, quick!

I agree. The Chi-com troops are for containment and not for war.

I don’t believe China has done any such thing. Sounds good but the logistics involved militate against this. Maybe they have plans to do so.

As for plans for actions against the North I am sure those have been in existence for a long time and tweaking is all that is necessary.

He has a lot of leakers, though. From the US military all the way through NATO. Secrets would be hard to keep.

Another article says that China has moved another 1,000 troops to the border not 150,000. It is possible that they already had thousands there but that was not just achieved.

I think you are wrong there. When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose. These people are desperate and totally brainwashed to boot.

My elder son served on the Ohio when it was being converted and it was an amazing thing to see. He was a nuke but they didn’t let us into the reactor room.

Sounds good but that is about it. Planes would be attacked the State Police would seize the food and weapons without saying “Thank you”.
