(Monterrey, CA) — Former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says if the North Koreans take a wrong step, it will mark the end of their regime. Panetta was both CIA director and Defense Secretary in the Obama Administration. He says the U.S. has the might to wipe the North Korean regime “off the face of the Earth.” Panetta tells CBS’s “Face the Nation” he thinks the North Koreans understand if they take the wrong step, it’s all over. In response to President Trump’s rhetoric aimed at the North Koreans, Panetta says he’s never felt that you can “out-bully a bully by trying to threaten that individual with words.” Instead, Panetta says what speaks the loudest is the knowledge the U.S. is “the most powerful country on the face of the Earth.”
