An immediate pre-emptive strike against North Korea may be needed to stop its “deranged’’ president Kim Jong Un from firing nuclear weapons at the United States, Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe says.
“We should be prepared to do it right now,’’ Inhofe, a ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, told Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show.’’
“In terms of the capability we have out there with the F-22s and the battleships … a pre-emptive strike from something like that would get their attention.’’
Inhofe’s remarks came after the North Korean army said it had “final approval’’ to launch a “merciless” military assault on the U.S. with its “cutting-edge” nuclear weapons.
