afghanistan and couldn t or didn t on his own. he chose not to. he chose not to. he said he was going to, and he didn t. he is now criticizing joe biden for following through on what president trump promised he would do. he s also saying what he would do now, i think he s saying he would reinvade. all equipment should be demanded to return to the united states. every penny of the $85 billion. if it s not handed back, we should go in with military force and get it or bomb the hell out of it, go in and get it, and again, this is not just a guy with a laptop in mar-a-lago, this is a guy as of this morning is the front runner for the republican nomination, could be the next president. is he promising to reinvade? i don t think he s promising anything. two things, the temptation is to dismiss and say we shouldn t pay attention to donald trump. there s certainly a school of political thought who argues that. he is the front runner for the
or china fixes the problem. the north korean economy can t run without support from china. the president has called out china saying, you know, we hoped they d be able to have sway, and they couldn t or didn t do it. sure. we ll see i would say, i think what we found this is somewhat predictable, but i think donald trump had to figure this out for himself the chinese don t view fixing the problem the same way we do. they don t view the problem the same way we do. they prefer the status quo to putting pressure on the regime. if we re going different directions, it doesn t matter if they re increasing activity or not. they just don t see the problem the way that we do. we ve to wrap our minds around them and make decisions accordingly. thanks. thanks. talk to you in a few minutes. this other story we re following, an assault on a flight attendant forcing a delta flight to turn around shortly after takeoff. we ll tell you how other passengers jumped in to action, nex
action against china. this can no longer be an incremental build-up. if the technology is resonate in north korea, if the miniaturization of warheads is continuing to occur, it is no longer about freezing. we have to make sure they stop production of nuclear weapons. the chinese need to be held accountable for the financial support, the technical support. neil: it never happens, commander. this latest test, we were aware that it was coming. w we decided not to knock it down, because it didn t seem to be an mediate threat or wasn t necessary. what did you think of that and the reasons behind it? i think at this point, it is a mistake. why should the united states always wait for something to become a threat or for something to become realistic and attack us before we react? it comes a point where we need to say we re watching the build-up. we have the technology to know what s going on. we re looking with the chinese
the president is now extending his tough talk to china, and even tough actions, citing two chinese institutions, thanks more to the point that fund north korea and a lot of these activities. how far does this go? that s an even bigger reason, neil, that they ought to stay at work during august. here is why. first, i trust the president to trust his military leaders, the joint chiefs of staff. i don t believe as wall to wall coverage of this north korea situation would cause people to believe that this president is going to act impulsively. but if kim jong-un acts stupid, it will be a very short war. but this president would need to go to congress, and say here is what i m about to do and here is why. he won t have to call a special session. they ll already be there. but overwhelmingly, the main thing is, we need a congress
reason they couldn t or didn t. now he seems to open to taking punitive action. what should they do? sweeping. if we believe china is violating the security council sanctions or turning a blind eye while others do, how about a sanction that says no chinese financial institution can do business in the united states. unless, unless you have a tough sweeping comprehensive set of sanctions, the chinese will double-talk us again, as they have for 25 years. our attention span is notoriously short and this is how north korea has progressed to the point we are now over the last 25 years. neil: that s what i wonder, we express our outrage and they use outrage a lot, it is a powerful word, but even with the chinese and the russians, they re saying the same about north korea s provocative actions. but they take great umbrage to us wanting to work with the south koreans and call that
