Putin’s Warning
The World may have sat up and take notice of the comment Putin made. Russia was considered one of the leading World Powers and was very active in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula.
Putin warned that the U.S. decisions regarding nuclear weapons could cause a World War.
“The fear of mutually assured destruction has always restrained and forced military powers to respect each other,” he said. “The exit of the United States from missile defense treaty was an attempt to ruin this parity, but our efforts in the development of new weapons will preserve this parity,” he said.
Putin may have been making reference to the U.S. pulling out of the nuclear deal with Iran and others.
The other issue was Trump’s attempt to get North Korea to denuclearize.
Russia had made an effort to reach out to Kim, which meant that Trump wouldn’t be the only one that Kim could negotiate with.
Russia’s persistence to be in an alliance with Kim could make life harder for the U.S when it came to negotiating.
