Russian President Vladimir Putin has weighed in on the current tensions that have plagued the United States, Japan, and South Korea in regards to the provocative military posturing of Kim Jong-un of North Korea.
In a meeting at the Kremlin between Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the two discussed an ongoing 70-year dispute over islands to the northwest of Japan that were occupied by the Russians following the end of World War II.
After the meeting, Putin spoke to the press, warning all sides involved in the current tensions to practice restraint and discontinue baiting each other with military exercises and movement of personnel and equipment.
As stated in previous days, U.S. Admiral Harry Harris testified before Congress that a specialized missile defense system has arrived in South Korea and will be assembled and ready to operate in mere days.
Those watching this situation are extremely worried about the possibility of an armed nuclear conflict between North Korea and the United States with its allies in Japan and South Korea.
A statement by Putin urging restraint is somewhat ironic considering the provocative movements of Russian bombers off the coast of Alaska on several occasions in the past few weeks.
In addition to that, there has been a stepped-up frequency of Iranian-U.S. tensions when the Middle Eastern country’s military vessels have been testing the limits of our patience. Just a few days ago, an Iranian attack ship with weaponry armed and ready approached U.S. Destroyer Mahan at a high velocity. This bold move prompted the warship to arm and ready its own systems before firing off two warning flares. Thankfully, that was enough to send the Iranian vessel off in another direction.
President Trump has been very candid regarding the North Korean tensions. Watch the video on the next page.
Donald Trump was so afraid of the testimony of former acting Attorney General Sally Yates that he invoked a number of risky antics just to delay it. But that’s nothing compared to how afraid Trump is of Michael Flynn testifying about the Russia scandal. Trump has been paranoid about Flynn’s inevitable testimony for months, and it appears Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior is a result of his increased paranoia about Flynn, which is now driving his decision making.
Follow the dots of Donald Trump’s paranoid moves regarding the possibility that Michael Flynn might end up ratting him out in one way or another in the Russia scandal. Raw Story has pieced together that one day after Sally Yates informed the White House that Flynn was dirty on Russia, Trump had dinner with FBI Director James Comey and demanded his “loyalty,” in a move so overreaching that it constituted obstruction of justice. And that’s just the start of how scared Trump is of Flynn talking.
Elijah Cummings had already informed the Trump transition team back in November that Flynn was on the take from a foreign government, so there’s no question Trump already knew about it by the time Yates tried to warn him in January. But it appears the warning from Yates made Trump realize that A) he was going to have to part ways with Flynn because Flynn’s criminal actions were inevitably going to become public knowledge, B) Flynn was going to end up facing criminal problems and prosecution, and C) Flynn might ultimately try to flip on Trump to avoid the harshest of penalties.
This is further emboldened by two separate reports yesterday which, combined, paint a picture of Trump now questioning his own decision to fire Flynn for fear he might flip, and even wanting to reach out to Flynn before being talked out of it by White House attorneys. All of this serves to further underline that Trump has known all along that Flynn could take him down by blabbing about Russia. It explains why Trump tried to placate Flynn by giving him a major job in the White House even though he already knew Flynn was liability. And it explains why Trump is now panicking more than ever.
