World War 3 threat: Former US army chief warns better dead North Koreans than Americans
NORTH KOREA threats have left a former US army chief to issue a stern warning to the rogue state amid World War 3 fears.
North Korea has threatened the US “again and again” according to retired United States Army lieutenant colonel, Ralph Peters.
Speaking to Fox News, Mr Peters sent a fiery warning to Kim Jong-un in a bid to protect Americans.
He said: “North Korea has threatened us again and again and again. It is a regime that can’t be trusted.
“That does not mean we shouldn’t exhaust every possibility before going to war.
“But the bottom line is this if North Korea is on the brink of having the capability to devastate American cities, better dead North Koreans than dead Americans.”
Kim Jong-un has threatened to strike US territory with nuclear weapons as he ramps up his testing and production of an intercontinental ballistic missile arsenal.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has promised to “totally destroy” North Korea if the hermit nation does launch a deadly strike on the USA, or one of its allies.
The leader of the rogue state has tested several intercontinental missiles across Japan and threatened to strike the US territory of Guam ramping up World War 3 fears.
Van Hipp, former deputy assistant secretary of the US Army, praised the US President for the way he has handled the situation.
Mr Hipp said: “I think he’s doing well, both from a diplomatic standpoint and a military standpoint.
“Diplomatically, he’s got some wins out of the United Nations that no one thought possible, particularly with China and their banks who have a long history of laundering money for North Korea – he’s done well there.
“He’s sending strong signals from a military standpoint. We’ve got two carrier strike groups on the way to the region right now.
“And, he’s done a good job of beefing up our missile defences and deploying extra missile interceptor capabilities for our allies in the region.”
