Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen today warned of destabilization in East Asia if North Korea acquires nuclear weapons or continues to provoke its neighbors.
“I think worrying is something we ought to stay with,” Mullen said in an appearance with his wife, Deborah, on “The View.” “It’s a worrisome leadership in North Korea. He [Kim Jong Il] is a very unpredictable guy, a very dangerous guy. This is also tied, we think, to the succession of this young 27-year-old whose going to take over at some point, and he continues to generate these kinds of events.”
Like President Obama, Mullen also called on China to stand firm against North Korea.
