PunkTheFunk 125,703 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The US is reportedly considering a 'bloody nose' attack to humiliate North Korea — here's how it could go down As North Korea's nuclear and missile programs make leaps and bounds in advancement, the most powerful military on earth has sat just a few dozen miles away with little they could do about it — but that may be about to change. Multiple reports out of the White House indicate an internal debate over a hot topic: Whether or not to strike North Korea. Both The Telegraph and the Wall Street Journal have reported that President Donald Trump's administration is weighing a "bloody nose" strike to batter and humiliate North Korea as it illegally advances its weapons programs. The strategy calls for a limited strike on North Korea in response to some provocation, like a missile or nuclear test. The news that the Trump administration is seriously considering a strike has rattled international observers and experts on North Korea, as any attack on North Korea runs the enormous risk of starting an all out war. If the US strikes North Korea, it then places its trust in the country's leader Kim Jong Un not to retaliate massively against South Korea or Japan. As North Korea demonstrates an ever-increasing nuclear capability, the prospect only becomes more dangerous. But a cowed North Korea would lose enormous standing internationally and domestically, as putting the fear of repeated punishment in the belligerent country that has for decades killed US and South Korean citizens with impunity. Unlike the US' April 7 strike on a Syrian airbase in response to the regime's use of chemical weapons, the US couldn't just pull up a guided-missile destroyer to North Korea's coast and let 59 cruise missiles rip. "Cruise missiles give a fair bit of warning," Justin Bronk, an expert in combat airpower at the Royal United Services Institute told Business Insider. Bronk pointed out that the missiles fly at subsonic speeds and that "North Korea is fairly careful to monitor their waters." Using manned aircraft for an airstrike would require the US to attack North Korean air defenses, according to Bronk, or risk ending up with a " nightmare scenario where you have an aircraft down in North Korea and then you have to rescue or have them, or they're paraded around and probably executed." "I wouldn't say there are any good options," Bronk said, but the "least risky one is trying to intercept a missile." Even with the best weapons systems in the world and the finest military, the US faces real danger in attempting to bloody North Korea's nose, as its unpredictable dictator may decide that he can't tolerate the humiliation associated with being beaten by his sworn enemy. http://www.businessinsider.com/us-north-korea-bloody-nose-attack-2018-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DELETETHIS745638 2,101 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Too bad we have an arrogant, manchild cheese puff running our country. Truly my obese Pug would have been a less problematic candidate. I don't know much about politics but I do know that North Korea is not a country to cross and they WILL retaliate. Good thing we have the best Army force in the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
