u.n. security council condemning the rocket launch, saying it will urgently consider an appropriate response, exactly what would that be? former u.n. ambassador john bolton is here, trying to contain the smirk. exactly what is this quick move? >> well, i think they will have a strong statement about how concerned they are and -- >> greta: and north korea is like, so what? >> they weren't deterred by the existing sanctions and with good reason. every step north korea takes closer to a true, deliverable nuclear weapons capability, the more they believe that the united states and other countries that are worried will come to try to negotiate with them. so it's not that they -- their successes breed stronger reaks against hathey are dorks they think the arrest -- the rest of the world will play into their hands and for 20 juries, they have been right. >> greta: the one country that congratulated them was iran. in april, north korea attempted to lauren this rocket and it failed. six months later, they are good. it's fair to be suspicious that iran helped them. now that they have the ability to do
