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:
Thank you Mr Putin, we in the USA are stuck with a miserable little muslim for a leader who has no balls. We appreciate you taking up his slack.
Vladimir doesn’t just make threats. You don’t rise to the top of the KGB, or 1st Security Directorate, by being a paper tiger.
At which golf course is Osama hiding and cowering.
Putin is the Man. Trump is coming. Be interesting to watch two MEN deal together in the best interests of their countries.
Great, I am glad someone is warning North Korea. Now we should..
Don’t trust him but at least he has the balls to say something and not just sit there with his finger up his butt.
Hell yah! NK will listen to Putin he is a real leader. Obama is a$#%&!@*
