Dear @realDonaldTrump: We support diplomacy. But facts also matter. Under your strategy,

Kim Jong Un has NOT:
-Eliminated any nukes
-Eliminated any missiles

North Korea HAS:
-Increased nuclear fuel
-Hidden missile bases
-Just launched a volley of projectiles

Anything in this very interesting world is possible, but I believe that Kim Jong Un fully realizes the great economic potential of North Korea, & will do nothing to interfere or end it. He also knows that I am with him & does not want to break his promise to me. Deal will happen!

Russian Embassy: Trump Initiated Putin Call, And It Was 90 Minutes, Not 60


https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-initiated-putin-call_n_5cce0caae4b0548b735b03fd


Statement says Putin suggested easing sanctions against North Korea the day before Kim Jong Un’s regime tested more rocket launchers.


The Russian embassy in Washington said that it was President Donald Trump who initiated the call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, and that the conversation lasted 90 minutes.

Trump said Friday that the call ― which sparked controversy in part because he acknowledged he did not raise the issue of election interference with Putin ― was “probably more than an hour.”

Putin urged Trump to “ease the sanction pressure” on North Korea as that nation makes a “good-faith fulfillment of its commitment,” apparently to denuclearize, the Russian embassy said on Facebook.

The phone conversation occurred the day before Kim Jong Un’s regime fired a barrage of unidentified projectiles into the Sea of Japan. A North Korean statement on Saturday said the test of “large-caliber long-range” rocket launchers and “tactical guided weapons” was intended to “increase the combat ability” of the country.

Putin also “underscored” that no nation should interfere in the politics of Venezuela, according to the Facebook statement. .........................................

I guess we will begin to see the sanctions being lifted against N Korea soon. Anything for Putin.

Thats why the call. He needed to get more instructions to carry out, and a pat on the head for what he is doing now from the play book.#IllegitimatePresident is sold out to Putin

1. NoKo, Iran are very dangerous situations and

Trump is likely to mis-calculate both.

[watoos]

2. What's the dangerous situation with Iran?

Trump is the one antagonizing Iran with sanctions, by hurting their economy and threatening other countries that do business with Iran.

4. Trump is likely to attack Iran to help

his pal Netanyahu. Iran is more powerful than Iraq. According to Israeli newspapers, Iran was behind the recent rocket attack. Things can escalate quickly with mis-calculations.

3. The US and South Korea had a joint air force exercise.

the North Koreans responded with an artillery rocket exercise. The north Korean exercise is mentioned repeatedly in the western press while ignoring the military exercise in the South. it's nothing but hype.

5. Those negotiations are really working out, eh?
