committed to do in this resolution. bret: the resolution when water down a bit to try to get china and russia on board. your thoughts. we don t think we are near the full range of sanctions that could be imposed, even if they were all enforced. but we seem to me moving in that direction and it s obviously encouraging. that china and russia are willing to go along to some extent with these sanctions. the question at the end of the day is will north korea buckle under sanctions? they are about the most sanctioned country on earth and they continue their forward march toward a nuclear arsenal. the question arises, can that be stopped with sanctions? we don t really know because the full range of sanctions has yet to be imposed. it s an indispensable first step before you try to consider what else he would do. when you stop talking about sanctions, the other options are narrow. it s an important step. we ve been covering the same
