Summary

Robbie and Abby Martin talk about the Trump administration's disturbing escalation of threats and provocations against North Korea, including a new national security document proposal for an escalation against Iran and North Korea and leaks about a "bloody nose attack" to preemptively bomb Kim Jong-Un's nuclear capabilities, which would put tens of millions of lives on the brink of annihilation. They also discuss the eerily similar propaganda across the corporate media about North Korea's preparation of anthrax tipped ICBM missiles, and how reminiscent it is of the buildup to the Iraq war.

1:04.4	I'm sure it's not just one person.
1:06.4	I'm having trouble finding out.
1:07.6	So if anyone's listening to this, who knows, who actually wrote this,
1:11.0	please let us know and we'll include an annotation. It's extremely frightening. And it mentions
1:17.8	biological weapons over 16 times in the document. It has an entire section on weapons of mass
1:25.7	destruction, defending against weapons of mass destruction, combat
1:29.1	bio threats and pandemics, and then of course, strengthen border control.

1:40.9	and say rebuilding America's defenses by Pinnak is that this has a strong emphasis
1:46.7	on Iran and North Korea specifically because when rebuilding America's defenses was written in 2000
