Excerpt:
Deputy Adviser to the President Dr. Sebastian Gorka, formerly National Security editor for Breitbart News, discussed the North Korean crisis with SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily.
Gorka pointed to the “historic vote of the U.N. Security Council, in which not only the ten temporary members, but also permanent members like China and Russia, together with us, created the most stringent sanctions package in history against North Korea.”
“We see an escalation coming out of Pyongyang, so Secretary Tillerson said it is clear, as a result, that the head of state of North Korea does not understand diplomatic language. That is why the president is now using language that he may understand more clearly,” said Gorka, referring to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s comments as he arrived in Guam, which North Korea has threatened with a missile attack.
“This is to send a very simple message: we have an undeniable capability to defend ourselves. We aren’t just a superpower. We are a hyperpower, the world’s only hyperpower, and this president will take whatever measures necessary to protect our people and our interests. It’s as simple as that,” Gorka declared.Kassam asked how long it would take for the United States to organize effective non-nuclear military action against North Korea, should that become necessary.
“We could have an impact – if we’re just going to use vague terms like ‘impact’ – instantaneously if we so wished there,” Gorka replied, “because we’re not talking about World War 2. This isn’t Iwo Jima. This isn’t Okinawa. We don’t have to think in conventional terms.”
“We have capabilities that are not conventional military capabilities that we don’t talk about. Whether it’s in the covert domain, whether it’s in the cyber domain, there’s a whole range of options,” he noted.
