Business Insider: US stealth bombers in Guam appear to be readying for a tactical nuclear strike on North Korea
* The US recently sent nuclear bombers to North Korea that can carry tactical nukes that would be perfect for taking out Kim Jong Un.
* Some have suggested that a quick tactical nuclear strike on North Korea could cripple the country's nuclear infrastructure with few casualties.
* Recent reports have suggested President Donald Trump considering a strike on North Korea, but some experts and politicians think the idea of a tactical nuclear strike is a recipe for disaster.
The US has been quietly amassing firepower in the Pacific during a lull in tensions with North Korea, but recent developments on an under-the-radar nuclear weapon suggest preparation for a potential tactical nuclear strike.
The US recently sent B-2 stealth bombers to Guam, where they joined B-1 and B-52s, the other bombers in the US's fleet.
While the B-2 and B-52 are known as the air leg of the US's nuclear triad, as they carry nuclear-capable air-launched cruise missiles, a smaller nuclear weapon that has undergone some upgrades may lend itself to a strike on North Korea.

Update: US May Be Preparing Preemptive Strike Against North Korean Nuclear Sites (Sputnik)
WNU Editor: I am sure the Pentagon has conducted some exercises on what needs to be done to launch a tactical nuclear strike on North Korea. But is President Trump going to order such a strike .... I just do not see it. The U.S. has only one aircraft carrier strike group near the Korean peninsula (2 other aircraft carrier strike groups have left in the past 2-3 months), and all other deployments are routine. These are not the conditions for a tactical nuclear strike on North Korea.

The other deployments of air assets to Guam and south korean bases are anything but routine.
It boggles my mind that a newspaper would report a story like this, giving warning of an imminent military strike, there by giving the enemy time to prepare. Or perhaps it is a purposeful piece of disinformation encourages as PsyOps. Neither reason brings credit to the media outlet that breaks this particular news. They should be shut down, in my opinion. Time to get rid of the rotten apples---
Any aggression on NK has to be nuclear, if its not nuclear then NK will have the capability of striking back in an unimaginable way.
The thought of nuking and or invading North Korea has been a wet dream for the US since the early to mid 1950s. I imagine as a training exercise a new plan of attack is developed at least once a month but so far the right one is too elusive.
What is interesting is that they tried to butt into a civil war in Vietnam and got burned. What else was Korea but a civil war?
And yes I have no doubt they have innumerable invasion plans for Canada too that most probably avoid the Niagara Falls area.
Having nukes and not train with them is pretty stupid too.
Of course they train with every equipment they have, I would imagine that every commander would be pretty angry at its armed forces if they didnt know how to use its stuff.
This news is like: "Breaking news! The Army is using live ammunition at exercise! War imminent??????"
