Trump, Kim Jong Un and Putin

[dennisgorelik]

I am starting to suspect that Trump blames North Korea in order to allow himself to normalize US relationships with Russia (in order to help his friend Putin, who backed Trump's presidential campaign).
Putin orchestrates that "Trum vs Kim Jong Un feud" show by overtly providing missiles and nuclear materials to the degree when North Korea looks scary enough to keep the feud show running (but still not really too dangerous to North Korea's neighbours).
Putin's ultimate goal in this situation is to make the US public forget about Crimea annexation by Russia in 2014 and get new oil drilling technologies from US corporations to Russia.
Obviously the US drilling corporations want to sell these drilling services to Russia too, so they lobby for lifting the sanctions through the Congress.

Я думаю порядка 10% избирателей США в курсе того, что Россия аннексировала Крым.
И именно их мнение влияет на внешнюю политику США в этом вопросе.

Если большинство этих избирателей переключатся на "Trump - North Korea feud" show - Путину будет заметно легче отвертеться.
