Israel sent jet fighters into Iraq to destroy their nuclear programme a number of years ago.
No need for Nuclear option when the US can aim hundreds of cruise missiles at North Korea's sites and set them back years.
It will also ensure Iran doesn't benefit from the missile technology in the future.
Obama buried his head in the sand and this is where we're at.
Trump or not, it was always going to arrive to this point.
McMaster is calling the shots now, and that is no bad thing.
I hope the U.S. Don't use any nukes in response to any potential Korea nuke if they even have the capability. Russia, China will both be looking to see how the U.S. Deal with this.. If they see nukes they will be even more nervous of the U.S.
So it'll be a regional conflict then?
China is the key, but does anybody know how much NK relies on them? If they do withdraw fuel etc will the country collapse and the people rise up against Kim it's a dangerous game for the NK people, after all who wants to be denounced and you and your family are dragged off to be fed to Kim's pet dogs or blown to smitherenes by artillery shells like some of Kims relatives.Don't know mate.
Any solution has to involve China.
Maybe China could starve N.Korea of food and fuel supplies. The country might collapse. US could then move it's troops out of the peninsula (Times).
Russia aren't allied with NK, if it played out as per above they'd probably just take the chance to strengthen their influence in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Wouldn't be so sure China would get involved either, they'd be risking everything they've worked for over the last 20 years.Nope .... North Korea will attack South Korea / Japan and American Bases....... USA will retaliate ......Agreements between North Korea / China / and Russia (they still trade with Russia ) will pull in those other powers (similar to the way the UK was brought into the second world war when Germany invaded Poland) it will then become global
