Defense Secretary Jim Mattis hinted that the United States still had military options left for dealing with North Korea, but did not elaborate when asked for details Monday.
Most experts think a military strike on North Korea would invite a devastating response from Pyongyang. The city of Seoul, South Korea, home to 25 million, is well within artillery range of the North, which would most likely use conventional artillery munitions and chemical weapons.
But according to Mattis, the Pentagon has a few tricks up its sleeve that wouldn't involve the decimation of Seoul.

So we do have Rods from God currently in orbit? Interesting if we do.
A kinetic operation implies that our forces will be on the offensive, initiating and attacking.
The range can be all the way from covert to full scale shock and awe.
It would be wise of China to take out their problem on their own.
That's not light. That's a chalk outline denoting the country's borders. Just like any other gunshot victim or corpse.
They’ve made a lot of progress on the railgun at Dahlgren. Who knows what they’ve been working on in more sensitive projects?

——The population of Seoul is about 10 million.-—
The population of Seoul Metro is 25 million
God Rods were my first thought, as well.
I wonder who is actually allowed to own a TV, who provides them and what channels they are capable of picking up.
>>well, EMP weapons would likely have minimal impact on NK<<
Wouldn’t be so sure. We have EMP capabilities in our arsenal that has not been splattered all over the T.V. by the liberals.

I think a lot of this is psyops, which was very effective in the Cold War.
"Sometimes we would send bombers over the North Pole and their radars would click on," recalls Gen. Jack Chain, [a] former Strategic Air Command commander. "Other times fighter-bombers would probe their Asian or European periphery." During peak times, the operation would include several maneuvers in a week. They would come at irregular intervals to make the effect all the more unsettling. Then, as quickly as the unannounced flights began, they would stop, only to begin again a few weeks later...."It really got to them," recalls Dr. William Schneider, [former] undersecretary of state for military assistance and technology, who saw classified "after-action reports" that indicated U.S. flight activity. "They didn't know what it all meant. A squadron would fly straight at Soviet airspace, and other radars would light up and units would go on alert. Then at the last minute the squadron would peel off and return home."
So, given all this and the latest utterance from Mattis, it's not hard to envision Rocket Man eating with his generals and then one of them drops dead in his kimchi. Next dinner, and other fatality. After KJU gets back word that they were poisoned, he awakens from a bad night's sleep to this
Give psyops a chance. Maybe the poor people of NK will rise up after KJU has a few sleep-deprived missteps and they do a Ceaușescu on him.
We could allow God to work on Kim the way He did with Nebuchadnezzar and he’ll be eating grass for years.
If rocket man is in his secret pit that had an elevator or electronically controlled doors, will it still work having been underground?
Let’s invite all norks to south korea with homes, food and money. Simply empty his country of his own people. Line the border with signs and protection for anyone wanting to defect south.
It takes a special certain type of mindset to succeed under a military dictatorship.
Failure often means death. They each probably have their succession of scapegoats all lines up to blame for the failures.
The two major issues besides the military brass are:
1) Take out Rocketman in a way that proves to the world his total failure as a leader and as a human being.
2) Neutralize all of the NORK artillery and missiles targeting Seoul.
The world knows that those in power in NORK are ruthless and the people have had to succumb out of their lack of information.
“> > HAHA! Trump hit it on the head mentioning socialism and Venezuela today.
.
POLL: Why is the once thriving nation of Venezuela on the brink of total collapse?”
Its run by Venezuelan democrats.
Sounds nice, but Mattis, more than anyone, should know full well that the first casualty of any engagement is the battle plan.
Seoul has acted as a de factor 'human shield' for the Norks since 1952. I hate to say it, but unless the U.S. has some deus ex machina solution up its sleeve, no matter what military actions are taken, it's going to be decimated.
The Norks intend to accomplish this no matter what ultimately happens to them -- it's the price they intend to make us pay regardless of any other outcome.
“They are a formidable adversary that has been preparing for a N Korean attack for decades”
Tiger division and Ghurkas...problem solved.
“Remember when they found Saddam’s strategy board. It was totally wrong as to where we would come from.”
We weren’t coming from Turkey...
