After peace talks between North Korea and the United States have fallen apart, Kim Jong Un traveled to Russia for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After their meeting, Putin held a press conference answering some questions about the talks. He made a veiled attack against the United States for their strong-armed tactics against North Korea.
Leaders of Russia and North Korea sat down for a historic summit in Vladivostok, Russia, expressing hope it will revive the peace process in the Korean Peninsula, according to Russia Today (RT).
After the meeting Putin called the talks ‘substantial’, while Kim described them as ‘meaningful’, the BBC reported.
In brief public remarks before the talks, the two leaders expressed hope the summit will help move forward the reconciliation process in the Korean Peninsula.
Kim said he hoped the Vladivostok summit would be a “milestone” in the talks about denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, but also build upon “traditionally friendly ties” between Russia and North Korea.
The historic summit takes place less than two months after Kim’s second summit with US President Donald Trump in Hanoi fell apart without a breakthrough. The US rejected North Korea’s request for partial sanctions relief in return for moves to dismantle nuclear and missile programs; Washington insists on full disarmament before any sanctions are removed.
According to AFP, Putin emerged from the talks saying that Russia supports efforts to reduce tensions on the Korean peninsula and prevent nuclear conflicts.
But he insisted that Pyongyang needs guarantees of its security and sovereignty, and took a veiled swipe at Washington for trying to strong-arm North Korea.
Due to the fact that Donald Trump has let Jews and neocon madmen like Mike Pompeo and John Bolton run his foreign policy, he has missed a key opportunity to strike a historic peace deal with North Korea. Now Kim is looking for potential solutions with Russia.
It just shows how shortsighted all this neocon bullshit is. It’s the foreign policy equivalent of swinging around a sledgehammer blindfolded. It’s all about bullying the world into submission for the benefit of Jews and Israel regardless of the consequences.
