I don’t trust stories that demonize Russia. Too much propaganda, and phony witch hunt investigations.

If it comes out from the WH then okay.

Are you really that stupid and/or ignorant, or are you only pretending while you make a few bucks off the Russians.

North Korea nuclear crisis: Putin calls sanctions useless

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said pursuing further sanctions against North Korea is “useless”, saying “they’d rather eat grass than give up their nuclear programme”.
The US said on Monday it would table a new UN resolution on tougher sanctions in the wake of the latest test of a nuclear bomb by the North on Sunday.

Mr Putin also said that the ramping up of “military hysteria” could lead to global catastrophe.

He said diplomacy was the only answer.

China, the North’s main ally, has also called for a return to negotiations. ...”

How Russia arms America’s southern neighbors

Ioan Grillo
May 9, 2014

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Russia’s push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.

Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.

Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.

In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia’s top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ...”

Russia Boosts Arms, Training for Leftist Latin Militaries

Moscow defense minister inks deals with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua for joint exercises

BY: Bill Gertz
February 20, 2015

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.

Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.

Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

I don’t trust the russians. A leopard doesn’t change its spots.

I trust the clintons even less. They’re the ones who lifted sanctions on NK in the 90’s, which allowed them to pick up with their nuclear program again. The

The south koreans didn’t help much either. NK is dug in and armed to the teeth with artillery along the border. Did they think that was going to be a problem that needed to be mitigated? Or are they going to rely on uncle sam to solve it for them?

Once the chia nork has a good nuke and a rocket to strap it to, he WILL use it. It’s just a matter of who he points it at.

A lot of crying wolf these days. Difficult to figure out what is truth and what are lies. Thank you Democrats.
