The US is preparing plans to deliver a bloody nose attack against North Korea to knock out its nuclear weapons program.
The White House has dramatically ramped up its military plans amid fears that diplomacy wont thwart North Korean despot Kim Jong Un from making good on his threats, sources told the UKs Telegraph.
One option is destroying a launch site before the rogue regime uses it for a new missile test, while another is targeting weapons stockpiles, according to the news outlet.
The Trump administration hopes that pre-emptive action would show the trigger-happy dictator that the United States is serious about stopping his bellicose pursuits and persuading him to negotiate.
The Telegraph cited three anonymous sources, one inside the administration and two former officials familiar with the White House thinking.
The Pentagon is trying to find options that would allow them to punch the North Koreans in the nose, get their attention and show that were serious, a former US security official briefed on policy told the Telegraph.
President Trumps decision to launch 59 cruise missiles against a Syrian airfield in response to the countrys chemical weapons attack that killed more than 80 civilians is considered an indication of his resolve, the paper reported.

And therefore will not.
That's why we can strike them and shame them in front of their own people and the world with impunity.
Of course there is some risk. they might really BE crazy. If that's the case we may as well get this done now rather than when they have dozens or scores of road-mobile ICBMs with nukes.
Strike.
Now.
STFU New York Post and other media outlets sheesh
Roger that.
“The White House has dramatically ramped up its military plans”
Well, of course plans are being looked at, updated, and refined.
It would be dereliction of duty not to do so.
The problem is that the norks will unleash artillery attacks on Seoul. Lots of civilian casualties.
“they might really BE crazy.”
Take *that* to the bank.
Exclusive: US Making Plans For 'Bloody Nose Military Attack On North Korea
This has to be propaganda. No one in the US mil is that stupid.
Tiddly winks can sometimes hit you in the eye. That is all I can prognosticate, given the history of our blistering attacks on North Korea.
“Strike.
Now. “
Yeah, do it during Rocket Man’s Festivus Celebration. Give him a lot more to bitch about!
“The problem is that the norks will unleash artillery attacks on Seoul. Lots of civilian casualties.”
There’s a significant body of thought that suggests they will not. That they are rational and will not precipitate their own certain destruction.
Of course those folks could be wrong. I do not think they are.
On that peninsula, there’s lots of civilians to spare.
Yes, Dear Leader.
It's a thermonuclear bomb
hidden in a butt-plug.
“This has to be propaganda. No one in the US mil is that stupid.”
And just why is that a stupid idea? Just what would you propose to fix this unacceptable situation?
The only effective bloody nose would be the removal of the upper levels of the current regime.
Bloody nose? How about we smash Fat Boy’s ugly face into a bloody pancake! Then piss on it....
Failing to obey the strike order would get them killed just as dead!
“bloody nose”
May I recommend the doctrine of “decapitation?”
5.56mm
I suppose leaflet-bombing the rural areas with coupons for a free de-worming won’t fly, either?
“It would be dereliction of duty not to do so.”
Like the last 8 years of BHO?
