According
to a new report in the Daily Telegraph, the concerns about a US
attack on North Korea are very well-founded, and the White House has
“dramatically” stepped up plans for what it is calling a “bloody
nose” attack on North Korea.
Apparently
ignoring months of analyst warnings that there is no way to have a
“limited” war with North Korea, the White House envisions a
quick, damaging attack, potentially destroying North Korea’s
missile test site, and some stockpiles, which would, according to
officials, show how “serious” President Trump is.
This is
seen by the administration as an option short of full-scale nuclear
war, and the only such option available to them since they’re bound
and determined not to engage in direct diplomacy with North Korea.
The
Pentagon is coming up with “multiple options” for such attacks,
and while they’re all relatively vague, they all seem based on the
assumption that Kim Jong Un will be so impressed with how aggressive
the US is, he will cheerfully submit to all of America’s
preconditions without question.
In
reality, analysts agree that North Korea would see any attack as the
start of a full-scale war of regime change, and standing military
orders are to retaliate against US targets with everything they have,
assuming everything not used will be destroyed in the US strikes at
any rate.
