Tillerson statement comes out rather ineffective. putin is talking about using this crisis as a way to detach the united states from south korea. in other words, china and russia together want to see an end to the u.s.-south korean alliance. they want to use the issue as a kind of exchange in order to do that. we see this and we should see this as a direct threat to the security of the united states. it is an icbm that can hit u.s. territory and that would be absolutely catastrophic. we have completely different understandings of what the threat is and tillerson's statement simply says it's no...

This is a threat to the united states, not to russia, not to china. therefore, as the president has said himself, we are going to have to solve the problem ourselves if we can. >> bret: you don't think south korea and japan have a vested interest in china preventing north korea from having a nuclear weapon? >> they do but they don't have the means. only we do. that's why they are clinging to the u.s. alliance and that's why the chinese and the russians want to break it up. it leaves them naked and exposed. the japanese have no alternative. the south koreans have no alternative because we provi...
