The Pentagon: to protect all the nuclear facilities of the DPRK is possible only with an invasion

The only way to find and secure the security of all North Korea's nuclear weapons "with full confidence" is to invade the country

-This is stated in the Pentagon's assessment of the possible scenario of US military action on the Korean peninsula, which was sent to the US House of Representatives by Rear Admiral Michael Dumont, deputy director of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to The Washington Post .

The letter said that in response to the invasion of the DPRK could use biological or chemical weapons. However, a detailed discussion of how the United States will react to the North Korean threat can not be discussed publicly, noted in the Pentagon.

Evaluating the possible number of victims of the war on the peninsula, the Pentagon stressed that the calculation of such scenarios is complex and will depend on the "nature, intensity and duration" of the North Korean attack.

However, Dumont stressed that the military supports the current US strategy in North Korea headed by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, which focuses on strengthening economic and diplomatic pressure on Pyongyang to stop the development of nuclear weapons.

The report also examines the possible reaction of Russia and the People's Republic of China. Pentagon troops assume that "Russia or China can decide to avoid a conflict with the US or to act on our side."

Earlier, the Pentagon leader James Mattheys warned the DPRK that its attack on the US would receive a power response.
