That would be a mission one would likely never come back from. Probably not to many people lined up to volunteer for that one. I wonder how NK would react to an assassination. Would he be a martyr and his death lead to war (maybe nuclear) or would the regime become more friendly to the West/US as Cuba (kinda) did when Castro stepped down?
Could we just dress up an ICBM to look like a meteor? It would be an act of nature. How about we explode a suit case nuke and say it was one of theirs.
To 'get' the 'meaning' of the pic I posted, one really needs to watch the Australian movies; "Wolf Creek" #01 & #02 to see an Aussie at 'play'... Good ol' Aussie ingenuity at its best! lol (I'm sure one of the free online streaming sites would have it)

Do they think they need to tell the military that through press releases? Getting tired of this NK nonsense. This is like Trump sitting on the Whitehouse shitter and yelling to everyone he is about to let a big one drop. sh*t or get off the pot already. Nobody is going to stop him if he decides to pinch one off on NK. Russia says they will, they won't. China says they will, they won't. Who is left that would give a serious objection to it? Whoever they are they won't do anything either. Just like dropping the kids off at the pool, a war with NK can only be put off for so long.
I was about to agree, and then I remembered that war between other countries has been similarly pushed to the edge but not engaged in, like Israel and Pakistan. Using China's logic, the map shows the "Sea of Japan" right beside North Korea. So it would be tit for tat if the Americans were to borrow a bit of that sea from Japan, build an island and turn it into a military base right beside North Korea. If North Korea hits it then hit them back HARD. If China complains just point to their island in the Spratleys and say the US was following their example.
