The North Koreans are delusional, which makes for a very dangerous opponent. They have spent sixty five years threatening South Korea and the U.S., and are essentially a bankrupt and unstable regime.
In 1994 Korea signed a nuclear non-proliferation treaty forswearing nuclear weapons development in exchange for a rich cache of goodies from the Bill Clinton administration. It was obviously a ruse, but the Clinton administration was desperate for political win, and so they pretended the agreement was sincere. Now we see that the North Koreans are much further down the road in nuclear weapons development, and they actually have some weaponry to back their bluster.
President Barack Obama has no political capital in which to counter the loopy North Korean regime, and so another world power has stepped in to let the Koreans know in no uncertain terms that military aggression will earn them a serious, damaging rebuke, and not just a luke-warm United Nations sanction, but a real life military stomp-down.
World leader threatens North Korea, page 2:
It don’t appear that in the statement made by Putin that he himself threatened the DPRK but it looks more like he’s telling them if they keep threatening a preemptive nuclear strike against opponents which obviously is the U.S. and South Korea that I give the legal basis to launch an attack against them. As in the US but it probably could still mean anyone.
Russia has a strong leader, now it’s America’s turn. Vote Trump!
Someone has to stsnd up against this little p***k, our president wouldn’t do it.
Good job putin
those boys like their big hats
go get them putin
I hate to say this, but it appears that Putin has some brass gonads, as opposed to our “leader”
You got it brother
Why are we supposed to dislike Putin again? Seems like he would be a much better president than the one we can’t get rid of.
A lot of Americans do not understand that Putin, is not the enemy.He is not against the American people. Just the ones who are running our country.
