#1 They are going to have to get in, permanently destroy the capabilities quickly, then get out. There are 500,000 North Korean troops ready to over run the commandos during an operation.

#2 Nero White comment from yesterday:

#5 The first order of action against North Korea is to immediately destroy and occupy all ICBM launch sites. Stealth fighters followed by stealth helicopters bringing in Seals is the first order of battle.

#3 Gosh, wouldn't saying things publicly make the Norks increase security at the real storage and processing sites? Of course if someone was able to watch and listen to them.....

#4 This makes zero sense. This kind of mission is the whole point of the B2s. This is crappy armchair quarterbacking regurgitating how we took out Osama.

#5 Left out was intel-gathering. Kinda hard to do with B-2s.

#6 #3 and #4, Get them to commit more of their troops to secure these sites and then drop MOABs on them. Kill the troops and destroy the sites all in the same raid.

#8 All of the non-stealth aircraft carrying MOABs will be met by NK MIGs. A large number of undetected stealth Raptor F22s and F35s would have to pick off the intercepting Migs. If Puddgy sees his air power being decimated, either with intercepts or all out airfield Tomahawk strikes like at the Syrian airfield recently, the young guy may go all out phsyco and order a major South Korean strike killing many civilians or a full SK invasion, a goal of his anyway. He is a lune who killed his half brother to maintain power and maybe his own father to assume power with VX nerve agent. He, his assassins and his methods are outside the box and purposely unpredictable and well planned.

His goal is to annex South Korea, even of he has to threaten the US with nukes to do it. That threat needs to be eliminated and then he needs to be weakened or taken out without collateral damage.

#9 He is a lune who killed his half brother to maintain power

The killing was to preserve the genetic line. Mr. Macau was diluting the seminal thread.

#10 Why are we handing this information out?

#11 Why are we handing this information out?

I'm going to assume that its disinformation, and that even the lunatic in charge of NK already figured that he'd need to secure those spots.

#12 Why are we handing this information out?

Seriously? Do you think they are so foolish they haven't thought of their own scenarios?

The ChiCom intelligence surely is advising Kim.
