    The 5th and 6th paragraphs are important.

    "There is no evidence that this is backed by the Russian state"

    The Russians are making money off of North Korea because they know Trump won't even try to stop them.

    My unproven theory is kompromat.

    Seeing that aside, Trump has been exceptionally soft on Russia so far. Why would he change now?

    Trump has not been exceptionally soft on Russia. Torn from the depths of your imagination.

    An issue you didn't have for 8 years of appeasement. Maybe let hondo do the heavy lifting here


    Go on.

    Tell me specific instances where Trump has DROPPED THE FUCKING HAMMER on Russia.

    I always appreciate gurgle smack.

    I never tried to come up with anything beyond the headline though.

    It would be great if you could come up with anything to refute the headline... unless you're into being a cuck for Russia.

    Or you could recognize the Russia narrative as a fear tactic employed by the loser Democrats who continue to lose. You could do that.

    I'm just wondering why it's cool with you guys that Russia is friendly with North Korea.

    Even Fox News doesn't like this:
    http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/12/30/north-korea-received-oil-from-russia-in-violation-un-sanctions-report.html

    And for the lazy, I'll highlight parts of the story:

    In an apparent violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution, Russian ships have allegedly transferred oil products to North Korean vessels out at sea on several occasions, according to a published report.

    The Security Council resolution bars the Hermit Kingdom from importing natural gas and capped its crude oil imports in September, Reuters reported, citing two senior Western European security sources.

    The news follows President Donald Trump's criticism of China this week regarding a South Korean report that Chinese ships have illegally supplied oil to North Korean ships at sea dozens of times since October. China denied the reports Friday.


    On Saturday, the Russian Foreign Ministry denied the report and vowed the country has "fully and strictly observed the sanctions regime." The ministry noted that resolutions by the U.N. Security Council have imposed limits on North Korea's refined oil imports but have not banned it all together.

    According to the report, Russian ships conducted ship-to-ship transfers at least three times during October and November. In September, Reuters reported a number of North Korean ships fueled up directly from Russia and sailed the product back to their country by lying about where the cargo would be delivered.

    “Russian vessels have made ship-to-ship transfers of petrochemicals to North Korean vessels on several occasions this year in breach of sanctions,” the first security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Reuters.


    The second source, who also confirmed the illicit activity, told Reuters, “there is no evidence that this is backed by the Russian state.”

    Both sources referred to naval intelligence and satellite imagery to back up their claims of Russian ships aiding in North Korea’s efforts to secure oil and fuel despite an international crackdown to cut off Pyongyang in hopes of curbing its nuclear missile program.

    “The vessels are smuggling Russian fuel from Russian Far Eastern ports to North Korea,”
    the first security source told Reuters on the condition of anonymity.

    Reuters was unable to independently confirm the reports.

    Last week the U.N. Security Council passed even stricter sanctions on North Korea, banning roughly 90 percent of oil and refined petroleum imports in response to Kim Jong Un’s latest missile test Nov. 29, the Wall Street Journal reported.


    Way TL, DR:

    Trump criticized China for providing fuel to North Korea but has said nothing so far about Russia doing the same.

    So you're saying Fox News is posting Fake News and nothing happened?

    Fair enough.

    Fox News thought the story was legitimate enough to run with it.

    What do you know that they don't?

    If your google is broken, try Bing.

    If your google and bing are both broken, ask hondo.
