Guy playing Trump like a violin.  Sad to watch.

 

So what kind of musical instrument was Bill Clinton played like when he gave North Korea all that money in return for a promise NOT to build any nukes?

How stupid was it for you hero, Obama, to ignore history and do the same for Iran? 

 

Jeez, when will you libs realize you are hoping for your own failure?

All politicians, left or right work for the interests of the fed and the military complex.

 

Last real POTUS was mr John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The day he died democracy died.

 Russian surveillance aircraft flew over multiple federal buildings in Washington DC at a low altitude on Wednesday afternoon, according to CNN. 

The Russian Air Force plane passed over the US Capitol, Pentagon, Joint Base Andrews, CIA, Camp David, and a secret government bunker called Mount Weather, CNN said. 

The flyby, however, was completely legal and in accordance with the 1992 Treaty on Open Skies, which lets countries that are part of the agreement to surveil the other member countries from the air, Politico reported, citing the State Department. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • Flight approved under long-standing Open Skies Treaty
 
 

 

In the last 15 years, the US and Russia have done this a combined 165 times, Politico said. 

"The missions happen on a semi-routine basis," a Pentagon official told Politico. "They usually come in and they list out what locations they want to fly over ... We put together the flight plan and with a few exceptions — safety-wise or weather-wise — they are allowed to fly over pretty much the entire territory."

The Russian plane, a Tupolev Tu-154M, which is akin to civilian airliner, flew at about 3,700 feet and has the ability to take aerial photographs, conduct thermal imaging, and can even gather intelligence signals, CNN said. 

The flyby happened as tensions between the US and Russia continue to deteriorate. 

The US recently approved another round of sanctions on Russia for its annexation of Crimea and meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. 

The Kremlin later responded to the sanctions by expelling 755 US diplomats, and even locking them out of one embassy building before they could get their stuff. 

 

The same plane is also scheduled to fly over where Trump is vacationing in Bedminster, NJ between 5 pm and 6 pm, CNN said. (  that made me chuckle)

North's early missiles were copies of Russian Scud-class weapons but the regime has invested heavily in developing advanced new missiles in recent years.

 

In total, North Korea is believed to have around 1,000 ballistic missiles, although the majority are shorter-range weapons - with ranges of between 30 miles and 300 miles - aimed at targets in South Korea.

 

North Korean missile ranges

 

In the last two years, however, the North Korean military has stepped up its test launches of a number of new missile variants, demonstrating with the most recent launches that they can travel more than 7,400 miles.

 

That range is sufficient to put London - which is 5,380 miles from North Korea - within range, with Moscow, Delhi and Sydney also viable targets.

 

North Korea's most advanced rockets are now also believed to be able to reach virtually all of the continental United States, with only the Florida peninsula presently beyond their range.

 

North Korea successfully tested a liquid-propelled Hwasong-10, with a range of around 2,500 miles, in June 2016. Analysts say the weapon may be able to carry a nuclear warhead of as much as 2,700 lbs.

 

In February, a 1,800-mile capable Pukguksong-2 missile was successfully launched, while the Hwasong-14 that was successfully launched on a lofted trajectory in early July is estimated to have an effective range of 6,210 miles.

 

The Hwasong-13 intercontinental ballistic missile that was last tested in October 2016 is understood to have a range of 7,450 miles and is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

 

As well as nuclear warheads, North Korea is understood to have large stockpiles of chemical weapons, such as sarin, VX gas and tabun, which could theoretically be weaponised and attached to ballistic
