will donald trump get the blame of the world for that? t no.or i mean if the north koreans retaliated i and killed scores f people, i don t see how trump could be blamed for that. we have to keep in mind here, this is not the president s problem in terms of how this whole crisis unwound. theac obama administration was supposed to have pivoted to the asia pacific. but they cut right sores of the u.s. military. our own aircraft carriers can barely maintain f-18 fighter jets.s. you can t put it at the blame of the t trump administration for what s happening. mark: harry, jim, thanks a lot. susan rice spent four years as president obama s national security advisor. and during that time the threat from north korea only grew. now susan rice is criticizing the trump administrationcu for trying a different strategy while warning that a preemptive attack would be a terrible idea. what i worry about is this discussion and preparation
an iranian drone conducted an unsafe and unprofessional maneuver near a u.s. military f-18 yet in the persian gulf. the jet was going to land on the uss nimitz when it flew close. and the u.s. will send more marines to afghanistan. this deployment was independent of the ongoing white house-led strategy review for afghanistan called the south asia strategy.
the example with the iran sanctions where the united states was not afraid to go after its allies in europe, in the middle east, in asia and use sanctions against those allies and saying, look, now it s either us or you are working with iran. in this case i think people will choose to work with the united states instead of north korea. jon: anthony, foundation for defense of democracies. thanks for those points. thank you. jon: iranian drone almost hit a u.s. fighter jet in the persian gulf today, even after multiple radio calls warned the iranians to keep it away from the jet. that s according to a u.s. navy central command spokesman who called the move unsafe and unprofessional. he said the drone came within 100 feet of an f-18 about to land on the uss aircraft carrier. and that the fighter jet had to swerve to dodge the drone. the navy reports this is the 13th unsafe or unprofessional interaction between the u.s. and iranian maritime forces just this year.
f-18. it did have to take act to get out of the way. try to radio the iranians they believe was operating the drone. no response. the drone eventually did move away. this, again today, underscores it growing concern about the possibility of miscalculation in the persian gulf between u.s. forces and iranian forces. barbara, before you go, is this a first? certainly the first i am hearing of this incident. actually, it isn t. back in 2016, the iranians fly their drones over the gulf. because there is there was a similar incident but because there s so much aircraft activity overthe gulf, military aircraft, commercial airplanes, it is a very heavily trafficked air space. there is always a concern about
academy, and wouldn t you know, that s when they changed the law. i m amy mcgrath, and i love our country. i spent 20 years as a u.s. marine, flew 89 combat missions bombing al qaeda and the taliban. i was the first woman marine to fly in an f-18 in combat, and i got to land on aircraft carriers. now i m running for congress against andy barr in my home state of kentucky. he s mitch mcconnell s from over a quarter million incomens. mr. barr, my mom say polio survivor who became one of the first women to graduate from uk medical school. a lot of people told her she couldn t achieve her dreams either. but she persevered and ended up treating many of the same kinds of people whose health care you and mr. mcconnell would take away. this is my new mission, to take on a congress of career politicians who treat the people of kentucky like their disposable. some are telling me a democrat can t win that battle in kentucky, that we can t take back our country for my kids and
