unrealistic in terms of dissuading the north koreans and completely unacceptable to the united states and south koreautual defense treaty and engage in annual exercises. this is well known. the difference is the north korean activity is illegal. it has been condemned by the united nations, including china and russia, on multiple occasions. they are subject to multiple u.n. resolutions. that is something the united states and south korea are not willing to do. for years, the thought was the six-party talks were the path forward. had they made any progress? should we try to get back to the six-party talks? >> in the end, we will need a combination of economic pressure and military threats. we will need information campaigns. we will have to make the environment uncomfortable for the north koreans. i've the end of the day, it is going to be some kind of negotiated settlement. whether it takes the form of six-party talks or a small group of countries, that is basically a matter of tactics. we have to make the environment uncomfortable for the north koreans to bring them to the table and increase their wi
