so i completely agree with curt, dr. campbella will now lead a new initiative, but south korea has to be in that mix. and i would have to believe that he is going to try, president moon, his own method of trying to cajole north korea into saving something. so i think we're going to see another round of active diplomacy from our south korean as well as chinese, and let us not forget japanese colleagues. >> okay. so, you know, i was struck by the immediate reference in both the letter and the statement to the military. in the statement -- in the letter, president trump says, we still have more nuclear weapons than you and a much bigger arsenal, god forbid we have to use them. in the verbal statement at the white house he immediately said, i've been talking to secretary mattis. our military is ready and prepared. the allies in the region are prepared to, you know, help us in whichever way possible. are we going to see president trump and his hard liners -- you talk about staff -- his hard liners ramp up the military option again? >>
