Russian State TV Says Trump Is More Dangerous Than Kim Jong-Un


Russia Warns U.S. Not to Act Alone Against North Korea

Russian state television has no doubt who is unpredictable enough to bring the world to war in the North Korean crisis, and it’s not the reclusive communist dictator Kim Jong-Un.

According to Dmitry Kiselyov, the Kremlin’s top TV mouthpiece, the riskiest is Donald Trump, the man Russian officials and propagandists hailed just a few weeks ago as just the kind of leader the world needed.

In the latest sign of the Kremlin’s abrupt about-face on its erstwhile American hero, Kiselyov pronounced Trump “more dangerous” than his North Korean counterpart. “Trump is more impulsive and unpredictable than Kim Jong Un,” he told viewers of his prime-time Sunday “Vesti Nedelyi” program, which earlier this year carried paeans to Trump for his pledge to warm up relations with Russia.

Kiselyov and his colleagues on other channels also went after Trump’s family, noting that Kim hadn’t given his four-year-old daughter an office in his residence, in contrast to Trump’s appointment of his 35-year-old daughter, Ivanka, to a White House role.

Drumpf down if they sent the stuff to the NYT and WaPo. I suspect the fear of chaos is leading them to hope the U.S. can take care of him somehow.

From everything I've read, the FSB shut down helping Trump out in September. Their goal, to damage Clinton was achieved. Trump winning was as much as a surprise to them as it was to us. No doubt they wanted to leverage it....but, now they realize they have someone unstable at the helm of the US Government, that is dangerous not just for us, but them too. I wouldn't be surprised if they started (if not already), leaking info to EU governments who then pass it along to the FBI, CIA, etc.

They already know they are going to take a hit on the international stage over this, now they need to do damage control. Them saying "hey, we didn't mean it to go this far! And we helped uncover the truth of the matter" will garner some "forgiveness". But for the foreseeable future, they won't be getting any fruit baskets from Washington. But that doesn't matter as economically they are much more intertwined with Europe than they are with the US. But, they do need us not to do stupid shit like start a war on the Korean peninsula, attack Iran, dropping bombs in Syria where Russians are stationed, etc.

on the Internet and ran an operation that succeeded beyond expectations. I also believe Putin owns Drumpf. You're watching the same play I am. Is it improv as you think? Or scripted as I do? Either way I hate the show and wish it'd stop.

"Maybe Putin is going to ride in bare-chested and bring the orange dumbass to heel. Beats me. I hate this show."

Personally, I tend to think that this is MORE Kabuki

Now, I could totally see tRumputin's blackmailer blackmailing him AFTER sanctions were lifted, after he got done with his oil drilling over in the Arctic Caps, after the Secretary of Secrecy Tillerman got his oil out of the deal. After the Oligarchs got some of their change back from tRumputin, after putin re-united the Balkins. After putin became KING again and after he made sure we destroy ourselves fighting each other over here. I could totally see putin tang releasing those federal taxes and other damming things he has on his puppet after he's used tRump up like Charmin tissue--putin sitting back with his main squeeze (Ivanka tRump's bestie) drinking Leon Verres' "Billionaire Vodka," eating Sevruga Classic Grey Caviar--watching and laughing @ the shit storm that would happen over in this country to his favorite useful idiot. I mean trusting and working with a far more intelligent.authoritarian, Kleptocracy-loving, murderous, ex-kgb agent like putin? Really? The guy we know who has those federal income taxes everybody wants to SEE and who more than likely threatens him with them anytime that clown tRump goes off their Kabuki script or doesn't do as he's TOLD.

putin's running things over there and over here as well.

Vlad is in it for the long run...

He is "winning" 24-7 ...
Huge daily gains ...
for basically zero $ investment...
He'd be a complete fool to walk away from the TrumpWhale at this stage of the game...

Don't get me wrong, there's no loyalty, Vlad will gladly be the one to deal the fatal blow once his little whale is no longer in a position to be of any further benefit.

But all that has to happen now....
is for Repug45 to hang around in the WH & continue to distract everyone until the critical (2014) Sanctions automatically expire next year......

Vlad will continue to play his part in the distraction dramas until then......:
