Putin Urges ‘Goodwill’ Toward North Korea

Putin and Kim
ticketsofrussia.com

During a nationally broadcast town hall-style address, Russian President Vladimir Putin pitched a more open stance in dealing with North Korea: “You must never push one of the participants in talks into a corner.”


BBC:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said North Korea should not be driven into a corner if the world wants to rein in its nuclear weapons programme.

He said some negotiators “failed to find the right tone” with the country.

He is taking part in a live TV phone-in with Russians nationwide, which is being broadcast on TV and radio.

He has repeated he will not try to run for office again when his term ends in 2008, but said he would try to continue to influence political affairs.

Perhaps when Putin retires from the leadership of Russia, he might consider emigrating to the USA and vying for the job of President.

Whatever other failings he might harbor, he at least displays some understanding of how human relationships work. His thinly veiled reference to George Bush’s “failure to find the right tone” is the understatement of the year! BUSH IS “TONE DEAF” when it comes to the nuances required of international diplomacy. Talk about a bull in a CHINA shop!

Not only is North Korea a part of the evil in the world but we killed millions of Koreans to prove how much we hate those people. The Bushites are burning with hatred of the Korean government and I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to starve out the people.  The Bushites are the most evil people in the world.
