Krauthammer: Tillerson’s Wrong; N. Korea Is Not a Global Problem, It’s Our Problem

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "I think the juxtaposition of the two clips illustrates the issue and the reason why the Tillerson statement comes out ineffective. Putin is talking about using this crisis as a way to detach the United States from South Korea. In other words, China and Russia together want to see an end to the u.s.-south Korean alliance. They want to use the issue as a kind of exchange in order to do that. We see this and we should see this as a direct threat to the security of the United States. It is an ICBM that can hit U.S. Territory and that would be catastrophic. We have completely different understandings of what the threat is and Tillerson’s statement simply says it’s not a U.S. Problem. It’s a global problem. It’s not. It’s a U.S. Problem. The global partners we talk about are not that interested in solving it. That’s why all the sanctions, all the U.N. Security Council resolutions aren’t going to do a thing. As the president has said, were going to have to solve the problem ourselves if we can."
