Yesterday, u.s. b-1 bombers fly off korea in the vicinity of the sea of japan, the east sea. this is something that theyve done before. working with both japanese military and south korean military, according to the south koreans, staging some mock missile firing drills. when we say "show of force," thats exactly what youre really talking about. putting the airplanes out there, knowing that the north koreans will see this very same video that were seeing, and trying to send the mental that the u...

Over the korean peninsula. thats important, because thats a move that is seen as a provocation by pyongyang. its a move flarankly enrages them. and youll remember back in the summer, it was the flights of some of those bombers that prompted the regime to threaten to land missiles in the waters near the u.s. territory guam if the pacific in retaliation for those baomber flights. of course, those bombers take off from the base in guam. as of yet, no response from pyongyang. but certainly, we are w...

>> i think, brian, inescapably, we are sliding toward war. i think part of the problem is going to be the north koreans over the last 50 years have learned they can provoke, talk, gain compensation and provoke again. so i anticipate at some point kim jong-uns young untested probably rational -- by the way, ragg rational governments do stupid things all the time. the japanese attacking the united states, kennedy and johnson getting us into vietnam. so, you know, i think a provocation from the nor...

Again. so i anticipate at some point kim jong-un, young, untested, probably rational. by the way, rational governments do stupid things all the time. the japanese attacking the united states, kennedy and johnson getting us into vietnam. so, you know, i think a provocation from the north koreans in the coming year is very likely to result in us striking them in a major way with conventional air and sea power to destroy the nuclear capability, which by the way will mostly work. but then we could a...

Did not workout. but you still have to give north koreans off ramp. you can do pressure, you can do sanctions, you can do secondary sanctions, but you still have to give them an exit. otherwise what will they do? they will only think that provocation is coming or war is coming so it will lead to miscalculation on the north korean regimes part and that could lead to an he is sclags and a conflict just like the general just talked about. >> i have to ask you, kim jong-uns younger sister that has j...
