Happen if there were conflict on the korean peninsula. half a million artillery rounds per hour fired by the north. context, 500,000 artillery rounds per hour. during the height of the korean war the chinese only mustered 100,000 rounds per day. massive amounts of artillery there. five times the artillery in an hour than they used to be able to do in a day. more than 30,000 u.s. troops in south korea, more than 100,000 americans and you re talking artillery war. not even discussing nuclear war. or kchemical or bilal. and what happened, a dangerous nerve gas north korea obviously has, could use that in any sort of conflict. this isn t just artillery shells or specter of a nuclear conflict. also chemical and biological. ....
Champion and author of winter is coming, why vladimir putin and the enemies of the free world must be stopped. also here is steven cohen. gary, today we saw russia s president compare the united states kchemical weapons claims to the u.s. claims about wmds in iraq. what do you think putin is trying to do? he doesn t care what he says. everybody knows that he used to lie all the time and maybe later on he will confess that it was wrong information. it s very important for him actually to attack the united states and to step up this confrontation. steven, do you agree with that? no, i don t. i would have to say what i said earlier today on cnn. i have been doing this, studying american/russian relations as a professor and sometimes inside for 40 years. i think this is the most dangerous moment in our relationship since the cuban missile crisis. ....
the christianian s point, was this just a bad decision on this? she brings up the best point. there was no reason for him to do this. he was in the best position he s been in years. the russians are backing him up militarily. they ve had a series of victories. they ve been able to move people, combatants off of the battlefield and into idlib province. he gets a new president in the white house, who has said the removal of bashar al assad is not one of my priorities. why does he antagonize the rest of the world by using kchemical weapons? that s where all of the rebels are being concentrated. and he wanted to show them this is what happens when you defy bashar al assad. but it was a stupd thing to do. he could kill as many as he wanted with conventional weapons. but to use the chemicals, big ....
Years ago. he has not. but we have to we can t ignore the middle east. there are moderates and we have to aggressively back them and arm them if they are willing to fight assad. hold for on for just one minute. i want to bring in congressman peter welch. always good to see you. good morning. good morning. at this point have you made up your mind? no, i haven t. there s three things. i think number one, most of us really do believe that assad did inflict a kchemical weapons attack on its own people. you have that most members of congress are convinced of that? the videos and the common sense test. they were launched from government side and landed in the rebel side. most of us do believe that the president has a legitimate argument that a strike is justified, but the third question that s really critical and really the gut-wrenching one, will a strike actually make matters a bad situation worse or will it make it better? ....
We assume at this point do we do nothing, do we look the other way, do we hope somebody else does it. but if we take military action, is it to punish or is it regime change? i mean, there s a whole lot of options on the table. if you were advising president trump tonight, what would you be telling him? well, you know, you re the first person on tv i ve heard say what is the mission. so, when you re going to use military power, you need to write down the political objectives you re trying to achieve. and then select military measures you think will get you there. the worst thing we can do is signal our discomfort with 100 dead from a kchemical attack an not do something decisive. i m very skeptical about all this. 500,000 syrians have died. a lot of it with self-propelled artillery, tanks, ak-47s. now we have 100 killed in a gruesome manner. greta, i tell people, i ve seen a lot of people killed and they re never very attractive ....
