I read with amusement the quote (Fox, September 7-13) of Vladimir Putin: "Ramping up military hysteria in such conditions is senseless ... It could lead to a global, planetary catastrophe and a huge loss of human life. There is no other way to solve the North Korean nuclear issue, save that of peaceful dialogue." Is this not rich coming from a leader who has invaded Crimea, east Ukraine and parts of Georgia, and with whom all attempts to negotiate have produced no solution — hence the sanctions against Russia? Twenty-five years of attempting a diplomatic solution to the nuclearisation of North Korea have produced no positive result. Why should the next 10 or 20 years be any different in this regard?
