Transcript for What's next for the US response to North Korea

We'll bring in our military analyst colonel Steve ganyard for more on this discussion and we heard what whail Haley had to say, North Korea begging for war. How do you see it, Steve? Robin, ambassador Haley is doing her job trying to rally a community and nations to get them all to put pressure on North Korea but he's not really begging for war. He knows if it comes it will be the end of his regime and nothing matters more. What he's doing is on a deliberate pat to create a nuclear capability he can use to threaten his neighbors and the United States. Overall the administration's response effective or not, which one? Not effective, robin. But to be fair this is a failure that goes back 30 years. It's both democratic and Republican presidents have failed to bring them to heal so there's plenty of plane to go around including the community of nations in China in particular. Remind people, I mean here we are talking about a possible test again, the H bomb, a missile that can reach the U.S., so just bring people up to speed again on what is going on there. Well, robin, what we saw over the weekend was a thermonuclear device, a bomb that is up to ail to ten times more powerful than the original atomic bomb that they exploded, so there's a huge step change in their ability to threaten the United States, not on term -- only on terms of missiles but bigger and better bombs, an now we're seeing south Korean intelligence report that they're apparently preparing another long-range icbm test so things will continue to March and nothing that anybody seems to do is going to slow Kim Jong-un down. Well, hopefully that will change at some point.
