| 0:00.0 | This is CBS. I am the world. I'm John Datshe with Gordon Chang at Gordon G. Chang, my |
| 0:09.8 | colleague and friend and we're drawn by our friend Peter Hussie of the Hudson Institute. |
| 0:14.3 | We're looking 70 years back to the armistice over the Korean War, not the end of the war, |
| 0:21.4 | the armistice over the war. At the same time, we're looking at the arrival of not one, |
| 0:26.0 | two nuclear-powered submarines in South Korea and also the visit first since the pandemic of |
| 0:35.1 | representatives of both Russia and China to Pyongyang. All of this comes together at a |

| 0:48.3 | peace. Peter, a very good evening to you. Thank you for this. These two submarines represent |

| 1:48.1 | 70% plus per cent say they would like their own nuclear deterrent or jointly have one with |
| 1:52.8 | the US. So they're worried. And what they're worried about is how reckless do you think the North |
| 1:59.1 | Korean leadership is? Would they attack on orders from China? In order to keep us busy while China |
| 2:06.4 | was going after Taiwan or Russia was going after the Baltics? That is my real worry is that North Korea |
| 2:14.1 | decides to make a mess of something up in northwestern Pacific in order to keep us busy. And so, yes, |
