russia, who is aggressive and conducting expansion on their borders. and iran that w nuclear weapon o preserve its regime forever and use it as east. northith arsenal. radical islam still remains a threat out there. it is still there. it can do harm, we're poised to deal with that in selective places in the world. the last thing i would identify, cyber warfare, our major adversaries use cyber warfare as a major instrument of national power to undermine western democracies with a primary focus on the u.s. they are the threats that we're facing. they are complicated, they are comprehensive. we guard less of whether -- regardless of weather republicans or democrats are in charge, these are tough issues faces the country. trey: we think of acting of war, pearl harbor, that is easy for us to get our head around, and 9/11. cyber, what constitutes an act of war, if anything as it relates to cyberattacks? >> international community has not decided that, the united states of america, i don't believe. has not decided it, i think it is an indication, i believe in our own national security apparatus we have yet to come to grips with how comprehensiv

on the east coast and michael, moving to some of the themes of your book, the art of war in asia peace 20 in the world, russia and china, iran, north korea, most concerns you. >> i don't know that i have either enough clairvoyance or we have the luxury nation to identify the others because what often happens is 136 a unborn turn, extracts at that moment. secretary of defense that we has a perfect record of preventing or forecasting the next war, we are wrong and failed to see where the next conflict would come so even though i would probably prioritize russia myself i would also acknowledge we have to be concerned about china most powerful nation on the planet. kim johnson and north korea remained unpredictable. in the broader lease nuclear war really poses problems allies refugee a few years ago and i you and i the best way i can give, we have to focus on russia and china, north korea and iran transnational terrorist like al qaeda russia and china, north korea and iran binational terrorist group the way i would love are concerned i don't think that list, we can say is an and our foreign policy and you will remit one other idea try

east coast. michael o'hanlon, you're moving into some of the themes of your book. the art of war in the age of peace. plenty of adversaries right now. russia, china, iran, northrea , who most concerns you? guest: i don't know that i have enough clairvoyance or that we have the luxury as a nation to really identify one above the others. historically is that once we fixate on one potential concern, somebody else strikes. a former sec. defense said that we had a perfect record of forecasting the next war, we always got it wrong. we always fails to see. i would probably prioritize russia, myself. but i would acknowledge that we have to be very concerned about china, the most powerful rising nation on the planet. and kim jong-un in north korea remains a dangerous and unpredictable dictator. and the broader middle east region is likely to produce a huge war, or a nuclear war, but is continually posing problems for our allies and there were huge refugee flows into europe when isis took over parts of syria and iraq. the pentagon has been using this framework, war plus one which is a nice way to summarize. i think we have to focus on russia and china, north korea and
