There's a very, very large body of work that was written about this called the Seoul hostage problem.

Seoul, South Korea was held hostage

Because North Korea had such a stockpile of conventional weapons that they threatened to rain them down on Seoul if we attacked, I think it was called the Yongbyon, Yongbyon, something like that, a reactor.

And Clinton was told by the military, if we don't hit and we don't do something here, North Korea becomes a nuclear power and it's run by a crazy man.

You can't do this.

That's what he has in common.

He doesn't care about his own people.

He'll let them starve to death.

He'll torture them.

Gee, sounds like the IRGC.

And so Bill Clinton backed off in 1994, and we ended up with a nuclear North Korea.

That's what happened.

They knew there was going to be issues because they saw themselves as the second victim.

They said, it's not just going to be South Korea if they get the nukes.

It's now going to be us because they referred to themselves, Japan called themselves the Western target because they were seen as a Western country.

He said, listen, they're going to hit us because when they hit us, it's like hitting the U.S.

economy because of all the trade with Japan.

It's a point you're making, Tom.

I don't want you to get off the point.
