> It does need another ░░░░░░░░ beyond the fact that ░░░░░░░░ would be catastrophic Melissa ░░░░░░░░ Mattis weighing in on ░░░░░░░░ potential conflict with North ░░░░░░░░ he says military options ░░░░░░░░ on the table but ░░░░░░░░ now the strategy is ░░░░░░░░ and that is what ░░░░░░░░ hopes will continue Let ░░░░░░░░ bring in David pierce ░░░░░░░░ is a former Navy ░░░░░░░░ It goes without saying ░░░░░░░░ a conflict would be ░░░░░░░░ but it seems there ░░░░░░░░ a point at which ░░░░░░░░ infinitely more catastrophic depending ░░░░░░░░ what weapons North Korea ░░░░░░░░ been able to obtain ░░░░░░░░ arm What do you ░░░░░░░░ that point is I ░░░░░░░░ that point comes when ░░░░░░░░ Korea attacks at all ░░░░░░░░ you have an exploratory ░░░░░░░░ that can happen with ░░░░░░░░ conventional weapons If they ░░░░░░░░ launching artillery across the ░░░░░░░░ we know that as ░░░░░░░░ came out the war ░░░░░░░░ piece it ends and ░░░░░░░░ weapons being launched That ░░░░░░░░ you to the conclusion ░░░░░░░░ okay if they begin ░░░░░░░░ launch and they launched ░░░░░░░░ Guam we need to ░░░░░░░░ in such a way ░░░░░░░░ they have the capability ░░░░░░░░ come back and hit ░░░░░░░░ capital and launch other ░░░░░░░░ Melissa You are talking ░░░░░░░░ them launching a missile ░░░░░░░░ as opposed to some ░░░░░░░░ going in and wiping ░░░░░░░░ the weapons they have ░░░░░░░░ at least trying to ░░░░░░░░ that in some way ░░░░░░░░ they build up a ░░░░░░░░ arsenal I don t ░░░░░░░░ that s in the ░░░░░░░░ of possible at this ░░░░░░░░ When you look at ░░░░░░░░ mobility of those weapons ░░░░░░░░ deep they are underground ░░░░░░░░ do not think that ░░░░░░░░ is a competence level ░░░░░░░░ be able to stop ░░░░░░░░ and to be able ░░░░░░░░ launch an attack I ░░░░░░░░ t think that that ░░░░░░░░ a good possibility Melissa ░░░░░░░░ do we do from ░░░░░░░░ From here you do ░░░░░░░░ general Mattis said After ░░░░░░░░ multiple lines It you ░░░░░░░░ doing the diplomacy piece ░░░░░░░░ have to do the ░░░░░░░░ but it has to ░░░░░░░░ a credible threat that ░░░░░░░░ on the table and ░░░░░░░░ believe that s what ░░░░░░░░ Trump is trying to ░░░░░░░░ and say look at ░░░░░░░░ annihilation catastrophic results will ░░░░░░░░ for more We saw ░░░░░░░░ put out a couple ░░░░░░░░ statements just yesterday that ░░░░░░░░ understand this and they ░░░░░░░░ North Korea we are ░░░░░░░░ going to come to ░░░░░░░░ aid if you strike ░░░░░░░░ U S First Melissa ░░░░░░░░ would that look like ░░░░░░░░ try to pressed China ░░░░░░░░ service question Rick we ░░░░░░░░ about how we need ░░░░░░░░ assume the strategy of ░░░░░░░░ ready for battle but ░░░░░░░░ China to intervene what ░░░░░░░░ that mean raining them ░░░░░░░░ Do they have to ░░░░░░░░ for a regime change ░░░░░░░░ would be convincing that ░░░░░░░░ is no longer a ░░░░░░░░ For China I don ░░░░░░░░ think it needs to ░░░░░░░░ a regime change China ░░░░░░░░ the status quo The ░░░░░░░░ Korean peninsula or the ░░░░░░░░ peninsula is a very ░░░░░░░░ located place for China ░░░░░░░░ Russia for Japan so ░░░░░░░░ want the status quo ░░░░░░░░ without nuclear weapons There ░░░░░░░░ a larger thing at ░░░░░░░░ here as well if ░░░░░░░░ Korea is able to ░░░░░░░░ its capability develop it ░░░░░░░░ to proliferation of nuclear ░░░░░░░░ is going to occur ░░░░░░░░ s going to occur ░░░░░░░░ in Japan which China ░░░░░░░░ not want it s ░░░░░░░░ to spread to Iran ░░░░░░░░ Arabia then you end ░░░░░░░░ with madness everywhere This ░░░░░░░░ not to say that ░░░░░░░░ is able to fix ░░░░░░░░ this either They are ░░░░░░░░ the ultimate solution they ░░░░░░░░ t have complete control ░░░░░░░░ North Korea but it ░░░░░░░░ in their interest to ░░░░░░░░ the status quo minus ░░░░░░░░ weapons and that s ░░░░░░░░ people start to push ░░░░░░░░ Melissa It seems hard ░░░░░░░░ imagine that it would ░░░░░░░░ in power He has ░░░░░░░░ he s not going ░░░░░░░░ do that s the ░░░░░░░░ you don t need ░░░░░░░░ change and somehow can ░░░░░░░░ them disarmed of their ░░░░░░░░ capability seems hard to ░░░░░░░░ but we ll see ░░░░░░░░ were coming on we ░░░░░░░░ your time.
