Bruce Klingner: ‘We Feel Like We Are More on a Knife-edge of a Tension than We Have Before’ with North Korea

RUSH EXCERPT:

KLINGNER: ">> Well, we have always had U.S. Exercises as well as to train force that is we have in the region. Every time we do it, North Korea vows to respond, they see it as a invasion. The tensions always go up and go back down when the commerces are over. But now that North Korea is on the cusp of ability to hit the continental U.S. With nuclear weapons including hrvecion-bombs, then now everything is much more tense. There’s a feeling we need to lean forward if we get indications that North Korea military is about to attack. So everything is much more tense, we feel like we are more on a knife-edge of tension than we have before."
