Newsweek: U.S. Forces Are Training To Capture North Korea's Weapons Of Mass Destruction

The U.S. military is conducting exercises to prepare for the infiltration of North Korea and the removal of its nuclear missiles, according to reports.

Hundreds of troops from the U.S. and South Korea conducted a joint training exercise dubbed “Warrior Strike” last week, South Korean military sources told the country’s Yonhap News Agency.

The drill, which lasted four days, saw soldiers from the military unit known as the “Black Jack Brigade” train in a “subterranean tunnel,” according to the division’s Facebook page.

WNU Editor: I do not envy these soldiers with such a mission. To go to the heart of North Korea to seize these weapons .... knowing full well that they will probably be heavily defended .... one can make a convincing argument that it would be a suicide mission.

Wnu..the north Korean military might falter quickly. ..the us military and their training and equipment are so much further advanced that unless the conflict drags out (through help by China ), I don't see this as suicide mission. Tough? Hell yeah! Dangerous? Of course. But just like during the first Korean war it's what the Chinese will do that will be decisive. If the Chinese really get involved again - after arming the north Koreans and arguably forcing this situation onto Americans, there's a good chance that this regional conflict explodes into something bigger. And despite all the advances that China made, some real some just propaganda, I don't think they stand a chance given the still 1:1 superiority of the US over China and the dozend or so regional enemies (including power houses like Japan) the Chinese stupidly made for themselves. So yeah. ..my guess is the Chinese grand strategy backfired for everyone to see at a level that exposes their amateurism on a pathetic level. And they might lose their most valuable buffer state. Or they go to war with the US, Nato, Japan and a bunch of apac countries. Good luck, China lol if anyone needs it, it's you

The Chinese are responsible for making Japan their enemy? Darn. I always thought it was Japan that invaded China and created the bad feelings etc.
