Exclusive: US making plans for 'bloody nose’ military attack on North Korea


America is drawing up plans for a “bloody nose” military attack on North Korea to stop its nuclear weapons programme, The Telegraph understands.
The White House has “dramatically” stepped up preparation for a military solution in recent months amid fears diplomacy is not working, well-placed sources said.
One option is destroying a launch site before it is used by the regime for a new missile test. Stockpiles of weapons could also be targeted.
Three sources - two former US officials familiar with current thinking and a third figure in the administration - confirmed military options were being worked up.
“The Pentagon is trying to find options that would allow them to punch the North Koreans in the nose, get their attention and show that we’re serious", said one former US security official briefed on policy.

Corker on media: 'I had a newfound empathy' for Trump
“I told him that I’d had a healthy respect for the media. I deal with them all the time and, you know, to attack the media has not been something I've done. But I had a newfound empathy for him in watching how a totally debunked story” spread across the political media, Corker (R-Tenn.) told Fox News’s “Fox & Friends” as he recalled a recent conversation with the president.

Despite the “Corker kickback” label that has been pinned to it, the Tennessee Republican has strenuously insisted that he had nothing to do with the provision in question, which allows people with real estate holdings through a limited liability company to take advantage of a tax deduction for pass-through businesses, which pay taxes as individuals, not as corporations...

...“Look, this is a travesty that something like this will be put forth. Look, the fact is this was a provision that came from the House of Representatives,” Corker said. “I've had zero impact on a word of the tax policy. I focused on deficits. The reporter that wrote about this knew I was unaware of the provision.”
