Michael Waltz: Trump’s Rhetoric on North Korea Is ‘Spot On’

‘They need to understand that if they get that arsenal, they will fail and the Chinese need to understand that as well’

EXCERPT:

WALTZ: "I think President Trump's rhetoric is spot on in the sense that the calculus in North Korea heretofore has been 'We have to get an arsenal in order to ensure regime survival. They need to understand that if they get that arsenal, they will fail and the Chinese need to understand that as well. Their calculus is a unified peninsula friendly to the West is not in their interests. And a failed North Korean state will cause a refugee crisis. The Chinese need to understand that military action is a credible option for us, it has not been the last eight years. And if there is war on the peninsula, that is worse than our other fears."
