KIM PREPARES FOR NUCLEAR HIT

NORTH Korea despot Kim Jong-un is preparing to NUKE the United States – and has even retreated to his own superbunker in fear of retaliation.

The chubby madman, 34, thought to be suffering from a chronic kidney condition, has gone into hiding in advance of his ill-advised attack on the world’s strongest nation.

Meanwhile President Donald Trump is preparing to bomb North Korea FIRST to “bloody the nose” of the barmy regime’s crackpot leader. His administration confirmed it is weighing up the pros and cons of a possible pre-emptive strike on the capital Pyongyang.

But the strike may do more harm than good – and could even start NUCLEAR WAR should Kim respond, as it’s likely his few allies in China and Russia could also join in.

Trump’s influential National Security Advisor Herbert R. McMaster is pushing for an attack.

On Saturday, he said Kim’s nuclear weapons development “has been quicker and the timeline is a lot more compressed than most people believed”.

He added: “We have to do everything we are doing with a greater degree of urgency, and we have to accelerate our own efforts to resolve the issue short of conflict.”

Intelligence officials also said that chubby 34-year-old Kim was “young, inexperienced and distrusted by his military”.
