welcome back to cross like where all things considered i'm peter bell to remind you we're discussing north korea. ok let me go back to beirut underneath one of the things i find quite terrifying is how callous the mainstream media talks about the situation in the in the korean korean peninsula because you know what we've heard from paul and weighing is this would be a crowded catastrophic event in a very destructive here i mean seoul is what twenty miles away from the d.m.z. there in of course in any kind of military assault north korea would be a would be turned into a moonscape like they did during the americans did during the korean war i mean by the end of the persevered they were there were no targets to hit but for aircraft by the end of the first year not the third year. how do you tell how do you explain

this i mean that the callously talking about we've run out of time we do we have no more patience you know we don't want to talk about resolutions here it sounds so exactly like they're going on a war footing there and how why do why would you expect the north koreans to defend themselves again not defending the regime but in the biz the international order of sovereign states that's what i'm talking about go ahead andre in beirut well first of all if you listen to north koreans listen to them a lot. of their governments are of that artist of their people when i was. three years ago a sponsor of the delegation of france a clark former u.s. attorney general so if you talk to the north koreans that actually they have very legitimate concerns the they suffered through the sleep during the korean war let's remember that the media coverage of western media western media coverage of the korean peninsula was always extremely biased or scandalous one of the greatest

journalists of all time of the twenty s. . ensuring of. an australian journalist who actually went to the war and he who covered the conflict. think about the thousands of tens of thousands of north koreans being literally destroyed murdered in the tunnels brought to life in the tunnels he even lost australian citizenship for this coverage when he was declared an enemy awful strelley and stayed very good friends of his son and all of this with our lives so i know the entire story it was always boys now let's go back to history also and see why it's north korea so much hate it it's not only because of the stand of between north and south korea let's remember that north korea together with cuba almost singlehandedly liberated the african continent from the colonialism so or north korean troops and i lived in africa for many years and i will say i think about it

a lot the fault in the movie of the fault in the goal of the fourth against south african about it the even through mix egyptian makes against israel during the war of the teachers the. doctors were in too many african countries even to now rich going through sick morrish has to hope to build an occasion medical system this is not discussed but this is one of the reasons the first never forgave north korea for wrestling of the colonies ok a little bit legless let's talk a little and say we're going to stay with their current kenshin syria on the peninsula here when let me go back to you here and i'm so happy to have you on the program to give a very clear. presentation to our viewers about how china things about this i mean china does not want to see the north korean regime collapse or you would have a refugee problem that we can create a security problem and of course as it's already been mentioned on this program is that you would have american military personnel and materiel going all the way up

to the chinese border. china has no interest in seeing that happen and it does have an interest in seeing it negotiated again china has come out with some good talking points to start negotiations is i mean has the chinese given up on it and just rolling their shoulders again what the americans are going to do next i mean we saw donald trump you know just attack syria based on no empirical evidence at least it was never presented to the public i mean it was a gross violation of sovereignty and even a war crime i would say so weighing again you know kind of explain to us how the chinese see all of this saber rattling. we need to remember that if the u.s. has one southern border to secure china has thirteen borders to secure and many of them are current or former nuclear powers and north korea is just one of them if there were to be a regime collapse in north korea the refugees would be a great burden to their northeast eastern chinese provinces three of them currently under economic from the economic transformation huge problems for local population

and local economy and also i do not think that the u.s. can wage a war easily because if history is of any reminder look at the countries they invaded afghanistan and iraq recently knob the new countries well they didn't they didn't do very well and i go back in there well they didn't equip themselves very well in the korean war ok by the way go ahead go ahead keep going right yeah grenada and panama back in the eighty's non of them have the w. and the east or cuba like you said and north korea back in the fifty's and sixty's the beginning year that kaid of the cold war none of them or nuclear powered countries so i did not think that pentagon would easily go to war with the united states an estimate of how much casualty it would there be was provided by bill clinton aide back in the ninety ninety four period when he told bill clinton who was seriously considering a war with north korea he said there could be one million casualties on top of that

one big. one trillion actually economic losses so i'm not sure if the united states wants to go to war with a nuclear power never done so ok but you know it's well yeah but that and that is one of the reasons why people say that north korea develop nuclear weapons or a program in the first place because they saw iraq they saw libya they don't want to be the next victim here you know paul. can you explain to me i mean why do we have this kind of rhetoric coming from the president from the u.s. ambassador to the united nations i mean the it sounds like they're trying to put the public on a war footing they were talking about you know with their patients is gone would. this. diplomatic approach patients from clinton through obama because that's been exhausted i mean what is the next step here are they do you think in your mind they're contemplating a real military conflict against north korea or is it just talking points and intimidation go ahead well if they were to launch a nuclear or an assault on north korea that would inevitably lead to nuclear war.

the north koreans have short range missiles capable of carrying nukes as far as japan from everything i've heard. why would the united states want to ramp up the tension on this. i don't know it's too dangerous. it just boggles the mind you know i'm always telling my students that. allowing nuclear weapons to exist on planet earth is like leaving a loaded gun in a kindergarten you know soon sooner or later. you know if we don't abolish these weapons they will abolish us and yet you know we continue to put them at the front of our. of our ability to threaten well they say it's very interesting that you're saying that it's very interesting that you're saying that it's because there's only one country in the world that is ever use nuclear weapons against the civilian population under me let me go to you in beirut i want to ask and i want to go to

through right and they should not repeat that same mistake on that i want to ask you and then my other guest the same question now here why doesn't the world accepted north korea will be a nuclear power. the soviet union than russia was china adversaries why can't we live without and mitigate its negative potential ok recognize the country as a nuclear power and go from there i mean i think that is one of the only ways out it's not the best solution i don't see any good solutions to this but the worst solution would be war ok go ahead. i actually think that the war is accepting the fact that the north korea is a nuclear power not except to the us were authority in the us and in the west north korea we keep talking about the north korean regime and how dangerous it is i don't see it as dangerous and i don't really think if you talk to

people here in the middle east if you talk to people in latin america or if you talk to even people in asia they see it as something but it dangerous again it's something that this it's a big hype that the. chicago or the los angeles are far away from north korea anyway and you know you see this look i know people walk all over asia philippines . you know thailand based in thailand partially nobody even think about this issue it's absolutely no issue so it's again some kind of and never will be an issue unless north korea is provoked that attack north korea is still going to do anything to do this through southeast asia so i'm going to do it i think most likely to attack japan unless the attack against north korea will come for a walk you know about from the u.s. basis and then of course the delegation will not be against the u.s. but against okinawa exactly exactly that's the thing about if you're in but if you're in most of the parts of the world north korea is not

a threat it's not seen as when one of the things this brings up you know and something i've been very critical of over the years is this in tangle ing. treaties and alliances the united states gets itself into because it ends up being wag the dog you have them with the south koreans who depending on what regime is there at the time would political flavor is that the time they can use the united states as low bridge for what it wants in its security and the japanese do the same thing i mean another alternative and i know that this is again one very bad solution is that you know then south korea and japan. and should have their nuclear programs there do you think north korea is going to like that maybe that's going to make them think twice and is thinking out of the box here because what we've been doing the same it's this the same treadmill round and round every few years we owe my goodness north korea is going to destroy the world ok i mean we need new thinking like i go when i'm going to the last minute of the program go ahead of course the united states argues that it is

a force for good you look at the what happened after world war two the restructure reconstruction of asia pacific the prosperity of japan and korea but they should also bear in mind that at the same time when it takes sides complicated the situation and created more conflicts look at territorial disputes between russia and japan washington always stand on the side of their allies and when there is a south china sea dispute washington stand stood on the side of the philippines and when there is a east china sea island dispute standing on the side of the japanese again so without regarding the historical issues of comfort women issue with the korean war issue those issues were largely forgotten but they should bear in mind those historical perspectives to truly understand the realities of today and if they did that maybe western audience would think differently about this what i would say manufactured crisis that we see every couple of years and i want to thank my guests in washington boston and in beirut and thanks to our viewers for watching us here
