A strike - MAYBE - but I doubt they'll use Tactical Nukes.

Interesting to think how history might have played out had Truman gone with MacArthur’s request to do this 65 years ago.

Its not a “a tactical nuclear strike on North Korea”.

Its a “tragic accident at a North Korean Nuclear site”.

Alternatively, it could just be a credible deterrent to prevent a North Korean aggression of some sort.

As Rush alluded today, the intelligence community may have produced false intel for the Iraq war to set up George W. on the weapons of mass destruction. Looking backward, it seems feasible aince the democrats so quickly jumped on the reversal.

Is it plainly noticeable when a B-2 bomber starts readying itself for a tactical nuclear strike mission?

Wouldn’t it be inherently BAD to project ones military intentions in such a way?

This is all conjecture on the part of the publisher/author.

Click bait that got me to click.

Sabre rattling is what one would want to project. I think that with little Kim it's all about the threat and not about a real attack. It is probably pretty will understood that he will back down.

The lighting of the Olympic flame may be a little early and a few miles too far north this year.

One part possible political psyops and one part naive ignorance that can’t differentiate between standard practices of being prepared and “readying” in some immediate sense.

Historically US intel has sucked ever since Carter and his colluders in the Congress dismantled our priceless network of humint assets. We have basically been flying blind since 1979.
