it fears the flow of refugees across the border and the only diplomatic history is our only guide here, it is not perfect, that s for sure. they have not enforced prior sanctions resolutions. by the way, north korea remains one of the best counterfeiters of american currency on the planet and i don t think what they earn from counterfeiting is included in the $3 billion figure. bill: last question. nikki haley said kim jung un has the next move. what do you think he does? he showed yesterday by loading two crews missiles onto patrol boats in the sea of japan he will continue to test. the world did not begin on january 20th this year when the trump administration came into office, we ve had 30 years of watching north korea pursue this objective of deliverable nuclear weapons. they are very close and they aren t going to stop.
it s going to be very hard to put them back in place. it s the flaw of the congressional opposition in america. if the u.s. votes to lift the canceled sanctions resolutions, there s china, russia, india, ours may stay in place but the rest of the world will be open for business with iran. ambassador bolton woe appreciate you being here. glad to be here. thanks sir. . china is being hit for the second time by a typhoon this week. it s dumped more than 4 inches of rain flooding streets and stranding people. more than 1 million people evacuated from the area. hundreds of flights canceled the national weather service says it might be the strongest
they were stunned in disbelief a few months ago. when russia and china cast a shadow on proposed sanctions resolutions. the obama and administration should not have been surprised. but sometimes getting clubbed by reality is the beginning of the past for with wisdom. recently, they need to acknowledge the reset button with russia has not worked. that could mark something important. the fact is these horrible pictures that we see coming out of syria are not going to change until the fundamental strategic situation that syria faces changes. that means among other things, cutting ties to russia and china and iran, making it impossible tay in power. bill: we have seen over the last week or so a real dramatic shift. this all stems from an attack by nato forces last november where
probable scenario if you were to get military action without u.n. backing. what does this tell us about the inner workings of this decision? i think it shows the complexity of the issues involved here and obviously some disarray inside the administration. one thing i think is clear, the u.n. is not the solution here. the russians, the chinese have vetoed sanctions resolutions against the bashar al-assad regime. they ve made it clear, as clear as russia can take it they are not going to change that position or do anything in the security council that threatens bashar al-assad and that is the big part of the job. it s not just bashar al-assad as the issue here. bill: if that is the case then the war does not end, it continues. that s exactly right. that s why i fear that talking about arming the opposition in a way is beside the point. the arming the opposition is not going to stop the a tros a tees, this is sectarian and the and a months satisfactory tees are
that s what we re worried about. the administration seems to have been listening to you and come out later in this week saying no, we re looking at the whole thing. well, they have to say that in a sense, because that s what the sanctions resolutions passed by the u.n. security council have said, that iran has to stop all enrichment activity. but if you look at statements by former administration officials and indeed, even people in the administration, the deal they see with iran would allow the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle, would allow uranium enrichment. i think that s crazy. i think this regime is dangerous, i think it s announced its intention to destroy israel. i wouldn t trust them with sharp objects, let alone a civil nuclear program. megyn: but we have to go if this is a ruse, don t we to go through it but the american people don t want another war, they don t want to start bombing iran, they don t want iran to have a nuke but don t want to bomb iran, either, so don
