missile launch. admiral robert natter, good morning to you from jacksonville, florida. thank you for coming back. where are we headed, sir? well, there is no doubt that i agree with ambassador haley. we re closer to war now than we were a year ago with north korea but not ready for military action by a long stretch. we have a responsibility as a nation to exhaust every means of trying to negotiate, work with china and others to put pressure on north korea to stop this insanity peacefully. bill: do you get the sense we re bumping into a wall here? it doesn t look good right now. kim jong-un is not responding to the kind of pressure that he should respond to. bill: nikki haley you mentioned here yesterday afternoon said this directed toward the chinese. we have come to the point that china must cut off the oil from north korea.
miles. what does that tell you about their capability now, admiral? well, they are achieving the capability that they set out to achieve 10, 15 years ago. and under kim jong-un he has accelerated that effort. he is throwing everything he has at the technology challenges. what worries me, they do a test firing and runs amuck or lands in japan or the united states, we just can t stand for that. we don t know what s in that warhead, whether it s a nuclear warhead. bill: why do you think he went quiet for almost three months? i think he may have been under some pressure from the chinese, quite frankly. and i think he sat down with the envoy from china and decided that he wanted to go forward. bill: sir, thank you for your time and we await possibly another test.
is he focusing on his own re-survival? the four-star admiral and seventh fleet commander robert natter joins us. last year during the south korea exercise is going on, they last for ten days. last year kim jong un responded by firing missiles conducting his fifth nuclear test, now there s nothing. is that an encouraging sign? i think it s encouraging in the short term, the question is what is the long-term signals from north korea? look, the administration needs to continue working with china, they need to make sure that the sanctions that are imposed are enforced and consistent, and we just need to keep after this problem because it s not going to go away. eric: is china doing enough? they were on board the united nations resolution a couple of weeks ago that were said to be the strongest ever, but that doesn t seem to have any effect at all. i think it has an effect.
