I didn’t see any reference to Putin in that video.

The fact is, Putin’s experience during the Cold War gave him the perspective to understand that if Russia were to engage in a nuclear exchange with the United States, that even if we did not apply the “launch on warning” so far as our own weapons are concerned, our second strike capability would utterly decimate Russia.

Putin is going to engage in saber rattling, authorizing TU-95 Bear bombers to test our air defenses, all of that stuff, but he knows that there are limits, he knows how to play the game.

Not so Kim Jong Fat Boy and his deluded followers. They have no logical perspective to keep them from going too far and they believe they are somehow immune from nuclear retaliation. They don’t need to develop an actual working SLBM, they can work towards moving one of their primitive nukes into one of our ports via container ship surreptitiously, and they’re just f—king stupid enough to try it.

In the video you can see Dmitry Konstantinovich Kiselyov.

In December 2013 he was appointed by Russian President Vladimir Putin to head the new official Russian government-owned international news agency Rossiya Segodnya, a 2,300-person organization made up largely of the former RIA Novosti news agency and the shortwave radio station Voice of Russia. He also serves as deputy director of Russian state TV holding company VGTRK.

What is worrying is that Putin has very little knowledge about military affairs and are not known for listening to others. He can make big mistakes quickly.
