Not sure how "quiet" it is, since they are publishing it! Sabre rattling or threat?

[ClearCase_guy]

“Being prepared” is not actually the same thing as “readying”.

Lester Holt will be taken hostage!

[JPJones]

I call BS.

[rktman]

Un-named sources close to the area of interest?

One boomer sub could turn North Korea into Kimchi

[CincyRichieRich]

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

Tactical NUCLEAR strike?!!!!

[hardspunned]

Perhaps released to put the idea in their heads. An intermediate capability the NORKS need to consider. I hate to say it but I’m very uncomfortable relying on US intelligence. It was bad enough in the Iraqi build up, after 8 years of Barry’s meddling who knows.

“I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.”

Gee, I hope this doesn’t cause Guam to tip over.

BS to the Max.
The only country who ever did anything even remotely like this was Israel after the ‘73 war.
The country was very close to collapse and as a backup plan, loaded nuclear weapons on some of their fighter-bombers.

You don’t use tactical nuclear weapons as a first strike unless you are really fat and live in North Korea.

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....

Probably going to take out the deep state clown stronghold.

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.

[elteemike]

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 Sons of Liberty]

US stealth bombers in Guam appear to be readying for a tactical nuclear strike on North Korea

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

[Joe 6-pack]

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

[BeauBo]

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

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