one, which is being advocated is ramp up the pressure and increase the sanctionship. put on more sanctions and pressure north korea to come to the table and make a deal. right? if we are not willing to do that the only other option is negotiate a deal that probably we are not going to like. we can increase the pressure or change our position. what we have done is neither of those things. that is why the problem just seems to be getting worse. >> josh, is there any sanction that would really effort a change? >> well, there is. it's just not a sanction that we can put forth. it's an effort the chinese can put forth and the crux of the problem is the only country has leverage over north korea is china. china has made a decision they don't want the insecurity in north korea. they prefer stability so they are not willing to use that leverage but north korea is dependent on china and its own complicated relationship. in the end what we could do is we could pressure china to pressure north korea.
