other than like the u.s china and russia very soon so like north korea not just has nuclear weapons now they have more nuclear weapons than just about any country right now and on a weekly basis north korea is doing ballistic and cruise missile tests and it's just like whatever is kim jong-un he's he's trump's guy he can do that right he could do it

how about this data point ben north korea's nuclear arsenal now is big enough to possibly overwhelm the ground-based missile defenses the u.s spent billions developing over the past 30 years so while trump has been doing all this while he was exchanging love letters

North Korea was building up their nuclear arsenal to a point where the United States cannot even defend against it if they so chose to use it.

And just think about the lesson also of Trump's strategy here in Iran and going back to Trump ripping up the nuclear deal that Obama did.

Because when you had that deal in place, there is a deal amongst countries where you say, we're going to work this out.

Don't build these weapons and we won't do X, Y, Z. And when you violate the terms of that deal, all you do is you encourage all these other countries in the area to say, oh, we can never make a deal like that.

First off, they're never going to respect it.

Second off, they think they're going to just be able to bomb us when we're defenseless.

So instead of making a deal, what we have to do is ramp up our productions of our nuclear arsenal right now, because that's the only way that we could possibly deter an attack from the United States or any of these other countries.

We need to be so big and so scary that they don't want to mess with us.

you don't see the united states bombing russia you don't see russia bombing the united states if we build up our nuclear arsenal we will be untouchable because they're not going to want to get into a spat with us and i think that is the psychology kind of behind it and what donald trump has imbued in so many of these countries across the world right now where instead of

actually disarming nuclear weapons and denuclearization, which has been such a major thing over the past few decades.

Donald Trump has actually encouraged countries all over the world to increase their nuclear arsenal and make it so we're in possibly one of the most dangerous situations that we have ever been in as a planet right now.

It's all because of Donald Trump.

And you notice when Hegseth says they have these nuclear ambitions, that's such an open-ended thing to say about anybody because there's nothing to it.

Ambitions, they want it.

Okay.

So then you can use that excuse to bomb anybody, right?

You could use that excuse then to bomb Iran at any time, to bomb this country at any time, that country at any time.

If ambitions is the marker, I mean, you said you obliterated them, but they still have a
