Harry Kazianis on N. Korea’s Possible Anthrax Weapons: When It Comes to Military Options, N. Korea ‘Is the Land of Lousy Options’

‘I really feel bad for President Trump because he has inherited a problem where there is no quick and easy solution’

EXCERPT:

KAZIANIS: "This is why when this comes to military options, North Korea is the land of lousy options. I really feel bad for President Trump because he has inherited a problem where there is no quick and easy solution. Back in 2013 I did a war game where we assumed in 2020 that North Korea had ICBMs that could hit the west coast of the United States. In that war game 8 million people died. So this is how bad this problem can get. And I think it’s great to see that the president has really embraced a containment strategy. I think our best option here is really to use what I call the Python strategy. Strangulate the North Korean economy. This way they can’t keep building more of these weapons."
