hard to believe that 45 would do anything to piss off Putin, who has energy deals going on with Iran.
So, if it's true, VP's on the phone with 45 in N. Korea, making sure 45 doesn't.
Otherwise this is probably geopolitical distraction from Venezuela and whatever other messes 45 is making.
As always, there's more going on here than meets the eye.

Sometimes Trump defies Russia and lets some sanctions and requests stand. We're shipping 1,500 military to the ME. What a stupid thing to toy with. Or create a war cuz it's good to be a "war prezdent"
