| Russia nixes U.S.-drafted U.N. resolution against North Korea |
| 2017-07-06 |
| [Wash Times] President Trump’s sit-down with Russian President Vladimir Putin isn’t getting any easier. Russia on Thursday blocked a U.N. Security Council Resolution drafted by the U.S. that called for "significant measures" in response to North Korea’s launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The U.S. circulated the statement among the 15-member council after announcing plans for a new sanctions resolution against the nuclear-armed regime in North Korea. But an objection by Russia killed the statement, said a U.N. diplomat. Russian officials argued that the missile launch Tuesday had not been verified as an intercontinental missile. North Korea claimed it was an ICBM. The U.S. and U.N. also determined that Hwasong-14 missile launched by North Korea was of intercontinental range. |

| #2 Russian officials argued that the missile launch Tuesday had not been verified as an intercontinental missile. That's a weak excuse. Does this mean that if the missile turns out to be an ICBM that Russia will suddenly be for sanctions? I don't think so. Especially since nothing can be proven until California disappears. Russia always seems to be on the side of evil! Oh, wait . . . . |
