On how the Trip Administration has handled the north korean problem over the first little over seven months of the Trump Administration. The first thing to recognize is the north korean issue, as you say, is a problem, not a crisis. The last couple weeks, people have gotten really hysterical, from the president to the press very littleith justification. There is no current immediate crisis, absolutely no reason we are about to be on the verge of nuclear war. This is all cooked up in craziness based on an individual story about incremental advance in the north Korean Program that probably will not have a huge meaning evenategic if it were true, which it probably will be if it is not now. North korea is basically an evil porcupine. Thats a real problem because we dont know what to do with an evil porcupine. If it gets too close, it has nice, sharp spines. It is developing his fines. But the basic pattern of American Foreign policy has been, evil porcupine, stay in your area, dont bother
