The Trump administration has no strategy for a pre-emptive “bloody nose” strike against North Korea, according to two lawmakers and a Trump administration official.
Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel thinks a U.S. strike against North Korea would likely trigger a war that leaves millions dead. “Let’s be smarter,” he said in an exclusive interview with Defense News.
A day after the U.S. secretary of state warned of military action against North Korea, if it does not negotiate to relinquish its nuclear weapons, several U.S. lawmakers exhorted that even limited strikes would provoke a catastrophic war.
