The US has been quietly amassing firepower in the Pacific during a lull in tensions with North Korea, but recent developments on an under-the-radar nuclear weapon suggest preparation for a potential tactical nuclear strike.

These could be neutron and/or with graphite crystals conventional and shut the place down.

Neutron? I think it would be better to destroy their ports, rail, power plants and factories. Cripple their ability to import equipment and weapons, rather than kill people. But I agree about the lower yield nuclear missiles, limit the strikes for strategic purposes.

I just don't see how a hermit Kingdom can pose any threat to the most powerful Country in the World!

All we need to do is target all their weaponry! Destroy it in 1 strike, they will be done!

“When are you getting back?”
“I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.”

Great movie moment, just after spilling the beans of a sneak attack, then act dumb on when you're returning. Unfortunately we have dem idiots like that who tip off the enemy.

I love how in the article it is stated as a matter of fact that these small nukes could wipe out the NORKS nuclear capability with a small nuclear yield that would only kill a couple hundred people with the inference that hopefully one of those would be the fatboy himself.

Oh, if only this were true. My experience is that once the live firing commences anything can happen, good as well as bad....

They also edited the article at the end to say that these particular warheads have not been deployed yet. So yeah, more nothing.

Is North Korea a CIA / Google asset?

No that’s an opposition/resistance lie. It was started by Mark Zuckerburg’s grandfather and is now a wholly owned Facebook subsidiary.

Don’t worry, Xi is not going to give DJT any neutron warheads, since China is the only known county with operational neutron weapons. Billy Boy did away with our program in the name of fairness or something.

Story revolves around the B-61 gravity bomb - however the B-61 has not been deployed yet. Just the usually make DJT look like a madman hype.

I saw a B2 landing at Anderson AFB Monday. Broad daylight, right over a public beach. Where all the Korean tourist could see it.

Might be some of what the article refers to...From 2014, an explanation of what’s being done to upgrade nuclear arsenal...

https://fas.org/blogs/security/2014/02/b61-12pictures/

Older B61 nuclear gravity bombs being/have been upgraded with new glide tail kits, internal guidance, ground penetration capabilities and selective yields from .5 to 400 KTs...

The United States does not negotiate with terrorists. Sorry Lester.

"So they can’t launch any Non-Nuc attacks? This title is really stupid, even if it was verbatim. "

Correct!

IAC, it's just as likely they are loading the birds with thousands of brown snakes to drop on the norks...

These guys spin more drama than my 16 yo daughter.

Deceiving web site ....some have indicated........recent reports have suggested..........maybe the same Nuke bomb we have had for decades could be a game changer..........and all of our suppositions gleaned from said reports may be wrong.
