U.S. WAR WITH NORTH KOREA WOULD BE ‘REALLY TOUGH’ TO WIN, SAYS TOP MARINE, NewsWeek, BY TOM O’CONNOR ON 1/25/18 The commander of the U.S. Marine Corps warned about the realities of getting into a war with North Korea, a militarized state that vowed to continue developing nuclear and ballistic weapons despite international pressure.

Addressing the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, four-star Marine Corps General Robert Neller said Thursday that the U.S. military was already preparing for a potential conflict with the armed forces of Kim Jong Un, who last year successfully launched intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and declared his country a nuclear state. Neller said that such a fight would likely be the most daunting challenge his troops have ever faced………

Last month, Neller told U.S. Marines stationed in Norway to be ready for a “big-ass fight,” but did not specify who the enemy would be. http://www.newsweek.com/us-war-north-korea-would-be-really-tough-win-says-top-marine-791470
