japan maybe will be joining the carl vincent in the sea of japan. there was already moves towards a stepped up military presence among the u.s. allies in the region. what remains to be seen, of course, is the reaction. there was the suggestion by kelly o donnell and others who were closer to the president in suggesting that there probably won t be much of a reaction, that there will be a hesitation to give kim jong-un the sort of platform that he s looking for and the attention that he wants. in speaking with south korean observers, there s the sense that having been to the brink and back before that this is just the game that north korea tends to play, that it s less military brinkmanship than it is a political gain so kim jong-un may be sending his own message in saying that he wants to talk. there in seoul, south korea,
middle east. that s their intention. syria is a crucial part of that and they aren t giving up. they want to double down. and take on the trump administration. that s where they re coming from. bill: one more hot spot north korea sending signs of aggression after the u.s.s. carl vincent starting steaming toward the korean peninsula. what do you make based on jennifer griffin s reporting a few moments ago knowing the anniversary comes up on saturday, april 15th that is so well marked in north korean history? likely the sixth nuclear test. every time there is a milestone event like this one, particularly this birthday anniversary, some kind of event. carl vincent and other ships are moving in that direction. what the issue is. not going the participate in a military operation against north korea. thals not the issue. the issue is japan and south
blasted that deployment of the uss carl vincent to the region. state television official saying it is reckless and outrageous. noting north korea is ready for war. certainly getting ready for something. pyongyang held its rubber stamp parliament today. saturday the anniversary of the birthday of the founder of the country. we re expecting at least a mammoth and interesting military parade. experts say there could be more. the regime uses this date to launch one of its banned missiles. there has been activity in the last couple of weeks around the site where it has in the past detonated a nuclear device. another could be in the offing. in fact, today here in seoul, the president warned the country needs to be on a heightened security alert in case kim jung undecides to try something. in the last couple of days
we know with the best intelligence that we can declassify that would help tillerson as he moves into his meeting and second, talking about our attack. to remind the viewers. the russian news has been reporting that half of the tomahawk missiles missed their target and this was a failure and they are showing footage of planes taking off and showing warehouses where the alleged chemical weapons were stored that are empty. the more details that would help in his meeting with the russians. and if i can go back to hans for a moment, he is not with us anymore. jack is sitting next to me. hans was mentions that north korea may come up too. just to understand the military side of this, there is the uss carl vincent that has been move and they are getting closer and closer to the peninsula.
know where their warships are headed, they just don t say anything. they were very vokelingcal abou this time. i think it s about moving a specific capability. but also this offensive capability of a u.s. carrier. the other interesting part of this, i don t know if you remember this, poppy. a few months ago the navy s.e.a.l.s were announced to go to south korea to do a joint training exercise and they made it very clear that it was the same unit that went after osama bin laden. i find it interesting that the uss carl vincent which was engaged in that is steaming to south korea. i think there s a psychological war fare going on here. if it was an accident, it s pretty interesting. it does start to tell the people around kim jung-un this is getting serious. if this is ever going to get, i think, mediated to a point where there is not conflict and i talk to a lot of military officers
