retired lieutenant colonel ralph peters, fox news military analyst joins me right now with his thoughts on this colonel peters, first of all, your reaction to what you heard from mrs. smith, her emotional plea, from mrs. clinton to let her know what really transpired that night? >> mrs. smith doesn't matter and her son doesn't matter at least not to hillary clinton. they're just collateral damage. in mrs. clinton's campaign of eternal self an grand diesment. clinton concerned, clinton incorporated is full of lies. let me get down some hard facts on this first of all, you know, that the whole thing about the video, that was a white house in panic mode seeking some explanation that they could sell to the public. trish, there is not a single military professional anywhere whoever believed this was spontaneous attack because of a video. clearly it was a planned operation, with multiple phases and very practical level. for example, the deadly mortar attacks on the cia compound, mortars are easy to use and very hard to use accurately. the site being placed and ranges calculated in advance. th

ralph peters is here. a big exercise going on.lly getting to a little more upbeat eschenbach a little more stronger? >> no. this has been going on for decades. they are routine. south korean military. with each passing year, north korea's new leader, he had the cutting edge haircuts. he may not know his own limitations. his generals are afraid to tell him that news. trying to disagree with them. trying to counsel them. he may believe that north korea may have the power to hit the united states with nuclear weapons. we are in a peculiar position of relying on the common sense of north korea's generals who do not want a war against this loose cannon leader. the dangers, well, i would not be an alarmist about it. even a convention let alone a nuclear. >> understood. i want your comments on what is going on in europe at the moment. meeting with turkish officials today. they are begging them to stop the flow of migrants. crossing turkey. they are begging them. it seems to us that yet again, europe is in crisis. the crunch board is gett

that's a problem. >> ralph peters made a great point. the terrorists of course who are supported by the families, have something on the line that the family would suffer and then they will put pressure on the troublemakers to straighten up and fly right. >>> meanwhile, pierce morgan who has not been a fan of donald trump in the past, he actually interviewed him yesterday. they were talking about what had happened in brussels. and pierce morgan found himself suddenly nodding in agreement with what donald trump said, and he wrote this in the pages of the daily mail. >> hate donald trump all you like, but at least he seems to recognize the magnitude of the threat and at least he has firm proposals for how to try to defeat it. they may not win, they may not win him the political correct pontificator of the year award, but how many more scenes like this morning's appalling images from brussels are we going to tolerate before we try a nonpc option to beat the disgusting excuses for human beings? very well said. >> when it comes to the terroris

joining me right now, lieutenant colonel ralph peters. lonel peters, you have been pointing to these effective no-go zones, these islamic colonies that are popping up all over europe where these terrorists can live, survive, plan, plot these attacks in pretty much a hidden environment. what's going on? >> well, the old muslim slums in germany, paris, molenbeek in brussels, belgium, these neighborhoods once were just slums from immigrants and supposedly i transit points where they'd learn the ropes. but instead they've hardened into islamist colonies where the islamists call the shots. they're not true no-go zones, they're zones where the police don't want to go with. they do go, they'll take extra cops with them. the most heartbreaking thing that i don't think is getting enough play that abdeslam, who was busted last week, he was in hiding in lowellen beak in -- molenbeek in the area for four months. he'd been senior in barbershops, buying clothes, and nobody turned him in. there's this sense that this is an islamic world, and the rest of

fox news strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters. good morning to you.t does that mean to put a nuclear program on standby. what does that mean, sir? >> part of that is for domestic north korean consumption. part of that this wild man young leader is miffed at sanctions. that china didn't prevent them. nonetheless you do have to worry about north korea. in addition to whatever capability they may or may not have, and they can not deliver nukes to the united states right at this point, what you have to worry about, bill, is if come jong un, this crazy leader, may not know what his real limitations are. if you're a north korean general, disagree with him, bring bad news, you are executed. he may live in fantasy world where he really thinks he can hit the united states with nuclear weapons or destroy south korea. it is that lack of knowledge of his own limitations that could easily propel him into war. i don't believe north korea's generals want war and afraid they will lose and lose everything what they piled up. bill: he doesn't know what he doesn't know.

. >> i want to bring you colonel ralph peters. thoughts on what we're hearing out of north korea. >> heart of this is a spoiled brat dictator. part of it is for domestic or korean consumption. showing how strong we are. this is very, very dangerous. this guy is the alternate loose cannon. very dangerous guy. he does not have the capability to launch nukes that hit the united states. we do not know whether or not he knows that. the generals are afraid to tell him the truth. a general who contradicts him is executed. we do not know what he does not know. he may think that he can hit the united states. he may think that is military is far more powerful than it really is. >> if he gave an order, what would that mean? >> on the korean peninsula. during the korean war, the capital seoul was destroyed. they rebuilt the same place right on the dmv. the border between north and south korea. conventional artillery range. it is a major city. we do have almost 30,000 troops still there. support in the infrastructure. they are in it if war bre

with us colonel ralph peters.at the europe's imminent breakup and i have news this morning that president obama is going to go to europe to urge the brits to stay in the european union. what do you make of all of this? >> well, president obama just needs to stay out of it. it's not his business. as far as he goes, you and i have a slight difference here, stuart. i don't think the european union is going to go away. it's going to become smaller and goals are humbler. and reviewing briefly how this came about, the european union we know today started out strictly as a tariff-free zone, the old union under-- dropped by jean monet. that's the european union and then the economic goes away and becomes ambitious, utopian. with the fall of the soviet union there is dramatic expansion. in the old coal and steel tariff union, what became of the european union was basically cultural monogamous and financially responsible the last 50 to 60 years, it's become-- the last 20 years, it's become culturally polygamist and financia

colonel ralph peters. good to see you. this is europe's nightmare.his is a large terrorist cell embedded in europe and the muslim community. this is a real problem. >> the real problem is i've been there. it still is there. it will be there. the muslim community is not interested in coming forward. >> this paris terrorist was sheltered by his family and friends and eluded capture for four months despite an intense manhunt. >> you watch past a police station. >> he was given cover by vocals. extremely bad manners. >> it is. and they met with days, the fbi and others have gotten cooperation from life abiding -- law-abiding muslims. europe's are grave. it is a pernicious -- indeed it is a cancer in the european societies where political correctness has come back to bite them like a crocodile. all the intelligence, all the myths about all human beings want the same thing. you know, not everybody wants to beat their daughter forgot. not all of them being spun the same thing. not all cultures are equal. we are finding although the europeans credit them wit

lieutenant col neal ralph peters joins us now.the nuclear deal and it's pretty clear they are not going to keep up their end of the bargain. >> they are certainly not. these particular tests violated a u.n. resolution other than the nuclear deal. the iranians are sophisticated about how they are doing all of this. essentially these tests yesterday and today, timed to coincide with vice president biden's visit to israel, another insult. they do two things. there have to be elections in iran to return moderate reformers. this is the revolutionary guards and hardliners showing everybody who is in charge. elections not withstanding, the people who hold the guns hold the power. the other thing they are doing is they are enjoying it, they are rubbing it into our faces, they are rubbing it into president obama's and secretary carey's faces. this terribly flawed nuclear deal. the benefits we get if we get them are straight ahead out over the long term. right now even if president obama decided to abrogate that bad deal and resurrect sanct
