Doc Thompson: Rising tensions with North Korea mean a 'lot of bad' no matter what we do

North Korea’s recent testing of its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is just the latest in a series of muscle-flexing military incitements in the past six months. Now, in the wake of tough new U.N. sanctions, Kim Jong Un’s regime has threatened “thousands-fold” revenge, saying, "We are ready to retaliate with far bigger actions to make the U.S. pay a price for its crime against our country and people."

President Donald Trump said today that threats from North Korea “will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”

Doc Thompson, in for Dana Loesch today on “Dana,” discussed the rising tensions in the Asia-Pacific region and what all of this means for the people who live there.

“Regardless of what we do, there’s a lot of bad connected to it. There's a lot of bad for me, and you, and the people of South Korea, and North Korea, and Japan if they launch on them as well,” said Doc. “This is something I feel very personal about because I have family in South Korea. My wife is from South Korea. … These are the people that I think about.”
