Russian President Vladimir Putin urged North Korea to learn from the fall of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, warning that it could suffer a similar fate unless it tones down its nuclear program, CNN reported.

Putin, speaking at the close of the BRICs summit in China on Tuesday, warned against "military hysteria" in solving the Korean crisis, claiming it could lead to a "global catastrophe with a lot of victims."
North Korea launched its sixth test of a nuclear weapon Sunday with seismological data indicating the weapon was the most powerful ever to be detonated by Pyongyang, according to nuclear experts.
Putin said Pyongyang should take a lesson from history, invoking Hussein’s demise as Iraq’s dictator in 2006, CNN reported.

P!
I say just give NK to China and be done with this whole mess.
Nothing happens in NK without China’s tacit approval.
Putin’s remarks have just put Russia on Little Fat Boy’s list of “prospective targets”. Let’s face it, they guy is power crazy (learned that from the Clinton’s by the way)

NK is a disturbance in The Force.
What a world we are living in today.
There have been many pivotal points in history where everything changed almost overnight. I suspect we are living within such a time.
I also believe no one really understands all the forces in play right now, nor is there anyone really in control.
Historians can after centuries have passed look back and isolate the pivotal point, but those living at the time were (most likely) unaware of what was really happening.
A small event was the match that began WWI (which also led to WWII). Besides the millions that died (many the best and brightest of that generation) it pretty much wiped out the ruling system (Royalty) for Europe and changed the maps and was the beginning of the end of the English Empire.
The Tonkin Gulf resolution paved the way for American Troops in Viet Nam which allowed the left to create a generation of leftest by resisting the war. The end result, Viet Nam united under the communist and our nation torn apart by left in power.
So who benefits with a nuclear North Korea? China? Russia? Someone else? I don’t know but suspect China is behind it all. China see itself as ruling Asia. North Korea is the boogey man to get others to capitulate.
If Hillary had won, this all would have played out as China wanted. Hillary would have given in (after being paid off) and China would offer an umbrella of protection for the other nations in Asia. Protection from that “mad man” in North Korea.
President Trump is the unknown. He can not be bought and I don’s think he can be threatened. I believe he would be willing to act if and this is the big if, if he believed that North Korea was in fact going to launch nuclear weapons against the US or South Korea.
It is possible it is all Kubuki Theater, even Putin playing a part to give the NK a chance to back down.
So is North Korea real or is it theater.
The problem for the world, is nations determine a threat both by what is said and their CAPABILITY to follow through with that threat. Up until now it was only words, but soon they will have the capability and the President will have to decide the lesser of two evils. Wait for an attack on the US and suffer casualties before striking, or taking out North Korea first.
My advice is for the President to seek a declaration of war against North Korea. Once a declaration is secured hostilities could commence.
If congress does not vote for a declaration of war, then wait to see if the North actually nukes the US (which Congress will get the blame not that politics have any place in this discussion, it will influence a lot of people).
Nothing happens in NK without China’s tacit approval.

Absolutely true. And that is why we need to make China pay for giving Kim such a long leash. You cannot deal with one without dealing with the other. Like all countries, China will respect strength and resolve.
Putin is being realistic....telling tubby Kim that he’s on the way out...one way or another.
That PROVES IT!!! Putin agrees with Trump on this issue means that there is COLLUSION between them and that Putin hacked the election!
Time to IMPEACH TRUMP!!! (LOL)
Putin: North Korea should learn from fall of Saddam Hussein
That sounds nice and dandy, but all things considered in order to learn you have to have the precious substance called brain, which seems to be in short supply with this little beer bellied twerp in NK. The same goes for China as well, as maintaining a peaceful environment would be to their benefit as well, without having someone around who continuously makes waves, as sooner or later someone might blow their cork and take this little twerp by his word, suggesting that either he means it or he doesn’t, and if he happens to mean what he says, then take him out. It is like some mentally deranged person playing with a gun, threatening people around him, sooner or later someone needs to take his toy away and preferably put him in an institution for mentally challenged people.
WW I was even bigger than that. It wiped out an entire generatopion of young men eventually leading to the importation of moslem “guest workers” in Germany. It also caused the fall of Christianity in Europe, the rise of the social state, the rise of hedonism, below replacement rate birth rates, and the open borders fetish which invited in today’s moslem hordes. WW I changed everything.
You are probably right about the insane “hermit kingdom” ushering in such magnitude change. I always thought it was going to be the Iranian mullahs doing it.
There is the real possibility that the earth could wind up with 1 billion living souls who all wished they were dead.
Noriega serves as another example.
Declaration of war? What a quaint mid twentieth century notion. In all seriousness, your post is a great analysis and recommendation.
Fat Boy’s answer:
“I did learn from Saddam. He wasn’t nuclear enough to scare every one. I will be.”
I would argue Putin is enjoying the spectacle but is issuing his
wisdom on stage, not behind the scene.
Russia is commonly mentioned as a North Korean trade pardner and supporter. Putin is putting an end to that concept.
He is putting China on notice
For a declaration of war, there must be a casus belli.
There is none at present
I don't think he needs one as the war with NK never really ended. We have an armistice, not a peace treaty.
