Ian Bremmer: ‘With North Korea We Have Very Few Options’

EXCERPT:

BREMMER: “I think there’s a reason why we've had successful administrations that have been basically giving this to our children as something to deal with, and it’s because with North Korea we have very few options. At the end of the day, we could take a preemptive strike against North Korea; that -- that puts 500,000 Americans in South Korea directly in harm’s way. We have to evacuate them before, and the South Korean market will collapse, no. So the only real option is squeeze the Chinese. And the Chinese, you know, are receptive to being truly squeezed. They probably would, if we put real sanctions on them, they’ll hit us back but they might well reconsider how much of that 90 percent of North Korea’s economy they want to be responsible for.”
