today. south korea s finding, as i ve told them, that their talk of appease. with north korea will not work. they only understand one thing. i m sure pyongyang enjoys seeing us fight with our own ally. i m not sure what the president s point is particularly today. to be lashing out at south korea and saying they re making a mistake or doing things wrong. we hope that china exercises its leverage. they have considerably more than we do. i think given where they are, we see the limits of economic sanctions obviously, on north korea. if they continue on this path, the risks of their sending a missal that could murder millions of americans is growing every day. the next theater is in space. china is enhancing its ability to take out satellites in space and we need to do the invest.
hostile and dangerous to the united states. north korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to china which is trying to help with little success. south korea is finding that their talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. they, meaning north korea, only undersand one thing. the president leaves sort of hanging there what that one thing is. but it sounds like this administration is gearing up to are a much tougher hand with north korea. the president s presidentry secretary was on one of the sun morning talk shows this morning, asked about what might come next for north korea. take a listen. i did speak with the president, and it s clear that this behavior is completely unacceptable. we ve already started with sanctions against north korea but i m going to draft a sanctions package to send to the president for strong consideration that anybody who wants to do trade or business with them would be pre veptdsed from doing it with us.

he once threatened to do. the i m parade he s going to use it to blackmail the u.s., get our 28,500 service personnel off the peninsula so he can then absorb south korea. that s what the possibility of m mis-ccalculation gets dangerous. how should the u.s. respond to this test? . think this we need to impose the sanctioning we have not been willing to put in place. we need to go not only against china but also the other sources of funds for the north koreans and stop north korea s trade of missiles to iran which is extremely dangerous and irresponsible. all right. gordon chang. thank you. many many thanks. thanks. north korea chams this was moment maid. we re going to tell you why that could be significant. but up next.
