Taken from a Tom Clancy novel....(chuckle).

There are probably a dozen “plans” to damage the Norks missle capability. This article is an easy guess.

If we do some bloody nose op, we’d better be ready for a full-scale land war. The Norks will see it as the final excuse to go all in.

There is an old axiom: If you are to strike the king, be sure to kill him.

Maybe Trump hopes to succeed by getting the NK’s to nuke DC.

Nobody. This is the crap the media pulls when they start getting concerned about a military strike. Ever since they successfully made the US quit in Vietnam, they think it’s their job to stop any military action by a non-DemonRat. Their aim is to make the Trump Administration go, “Oh $h!+, the jig is up.” Then the hope is that they’ll go public saying they won’t strike and put any plan to bed after the media and the usual suspects scream, cry, and have a public freak-out. This is a media pre-emptive PR strike, nothing more.
