Putin seems to be showing his predilection for the Dark Side lately. Siding with France and Germany in the U.N., selling state-of-the-art aircraft to China, now sidling up to North Korea. He-who-was-invited-to-the-ranch has turned against G.W.B. How does he benefit from all this?

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven?

So Russia - Putin - still pulling the strings of their puppet. Since WWII Stalin took control of N. Korea and it was Stalin who sent the N. Koreans down into the South. That was a UN (blue hat) war and it was the political leaders who were calling the shots.

Russia has never let go of that control and since Bill, Maddie, Jimmeee, and Rich er son, played the equalize all nation plan, the Koreas were given much attention.

3 years ago S. Korea secretly passed 200 million dollars to the North. (another thread here: South Korea apologizes over cash transfer to N. Korea)

Wonder how much of the money was diverted to Clinton et al?

Socialist of America tried to completely sell us out by giving to China, and N. Korea weapons, information and money to build weapons, all the while propping up the big Yelstin with an unknown amount of wealth.

All our socialist leaders and those around the world claim N. Korea bigger threat than Iraq. What sick minds socialist are, using the ultimate threat of "nuclear" to blackmail a "FREE People".

Bill and Hillary, as leaders of the world, did their best and almost made US a socialist country. These two are responsible for the state of affairs today.

Based upon what they Hillary in Senate, Armed Services Committee (all that secret information) and Bill globe trotting are still running the show.
