On the Spot: U.S. role in foreign affairs

I think in cases like North Korea we should definitely step in because they’ve got really bad leadership. They straight up have concentration camps and starving people and they’re working on nuclear missiles, and we’ve got a lot of allies over there like South Korea and Japan.

Same with Syria, that’s something really sad t...
