Putin: Conflict With North Korea Will Result in “Planetary Catastrophe”

Putin

After his discussion with his Chinese counterpart as well as Pyongyang, Putin held a press conference. Usually, his conferences are reserved and glum, which was what his comments were about North Korea. It is obvious by his recent comments on the murderous leader of the rogue nation that he tried through his Chinese allies to communicate with Pyongyang. However, the answer was still the same: North Korea will not and cannot cower into submission and that the leader is in charge of everything!

The examples of Iraq and Libya have convinced the North Korean leadership that only nuclear deterrence can protect them, so no sanctions can dissuade them, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

Pyongyang will not relinquish its military program under pressure of sanctions and military threats, because the examples of Iraq and Libya have convinced it that nuclear deterrence is the only credible way to ensure its security, President Putin told journalists on Tuesday.

“Ramping up military hysteria in such conditions is senseless; it’s a dead end,” he added.

“It could lead to a global, planetary catastrophe and a huge loss of human life. There is no other way to solve the North Korean nuclear issue, save that of peaceful dialogue.”

The 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq and the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya both came after the leaders of those countries submitted to international pressure and relinquished their programs of weapons of mass destruction in exchange for sanctions relief.

North Korea for its part chose confrontation with the world community, successfully developing nuclear weapons and currently, rapidly perfecting the means of their delivery.

“As I told my colleagues yesterday, they will eat grass but will not stop their program as long as they do not feel safe,” Putin said. “What can restore their security? The restoration of international law.”

What we absolutely cannot do is sympathize with this crazy man. A manic like this murdered his own half-brother by using poison, killed his aunt and uncle, and he also publicly executed his ex-girlfriend on live television.

What he's talking about is potentially restoring and creating a world court that will keep the US and their allies safe. Putin also wants to ensure that no matter what type of threats we receive from this monstrous dictator we will not give in. I guess only time will tell what may happen.
