Vladimir Putin Says Russia Will Make Sure Donald Trump's Meeting With Kim Jong Un Goes Well

Vladimir Putin Says Russia Will Make Sure Donald Trump's Meeting With Kim Jong Un Goes Well


Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged that his country will make sure that President Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is a success.

Trump and Kim are slated to meet on June 12 in Singapore to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, and Putin says that all major regional players, including Russia, should offer North Korea guarantees in order to have a fruitful meeting.

"We will be waiting for the outcome of the meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and will contribute to the success of this meeting in every possible way," Putin told Chinese reporters Wednesday in the lead-up to a security meeting in China next week. Putin also said that the international community should help North Korea with its economic development and guarantee Kim's safety in exchange for the abandonment of Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program.

Never has Russia or the USSR had any comment or anything to do with facilitating US affairs, not with Obama, W, Clinton, Bush l, Reagan—never.

It's more and more plain to see trump is being manipulated.

That's what it's all about. I'm just not sure if Trump is a pawn or the stooge in this.

(that we know of) who knows what else they do in private. I imagine it is the end if our country since both of them hate the US equally. At least Putin is honest about it. Oh, by the way I am not a troll but a realist.

If NK were willing to ACTUALLY de-nuclearize itself, but it raises 2 questions:
Should we be above bribery (cause that's sure as hell what this would be),
How large will this proposed bribe need to be on our end?
