An expert warns that a preemptive strike on North Korea would lead to “very big war”
An expert warns that a preemptive strike on North Korea would lead to “very big war”
- Luckily, it seems the report was wrong — defense and
intelligence officials aggressively downplayed the possibility of a
preemptive strike, calling the report “wildly wrong,” “crazy,” and
“extremely dangerous,” according to Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin.
But while the report was wrong, the idea wasn’t out of
the realm of possibility — indeed, during his March trip to Asia,
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson refused to rule out a preemptive strike
against North Korea, telling reporters,
“If they elevate the threat of their weapons programs to a level that
we believe requires action, that option is on the table.”
