As I talk to people in Maine, they are surprised to learn that Seoul is about 30 miles from the North Korean border.

I believe that my part of this problem set is to provide that credible combat power in the face of North Korean provocation.

I think Kim Jong un has elevated that to a cycle of provocation, provocation, provocation.

If I were China, I would not want a nuclear-armed guy right on my border who could threaten me.
