Pentagon says securing North Korea’s nukes would require ground invasion

The only way the United States could “with complete certainty” locate and destroy all of North Korea’s nuclear weapons sites is through putting boots on the ground, and even then the regime could retaliate with a devastating array of biological weapons, the Pentagon said in a report.“The only way to ‘locate and destroy – with complete certainty – all components of North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs’ is through a ground invasion,” Rear Adm. Michael J. Dumont, vice director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff wrote in a blunt assessment to U.S. lawmakers.The report also said US military leaders “assess that North Korea may consider the use of biological weapons” and that President Kim Jong Un’s regime “has a long-standing chemical weapons program with the capability to produce nerve, blister, blood and choking agents.”
