Top US General: No Change in North Korea Military Posture | Trump US attack on North Korea would be devastating
US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Joe Dunford tried to downplay the escalation in rhetoric in recent months surrounding North Korea. Dunford insisted that there was no sign of any change in military posture related to all the talk of war.
Gen. Dunford’s comments appear to be related to changes in posture from North Korea’s side, as the US is certainly carrying out more “shows of force” in recent months than normal, and President Trump talks about destroying North Korea a lot more than other presidents historically have.
Trump continued to talk up the military option in comments today, insisting that attack was not America’s “first option,” but would be their second option, and that the US is ready to ensure it is “devastating for North Korea.
