An MSNBC panel on Nicolle Wallace’s “Deadline” complained that Trump never mentions Russia when talking about the rogue state of North Korea.
“One of the actors that are least helpful and least constructive on North Korea and Iran is Russia,” Wallace said, noting that Trump did not mention the Eurasian country in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday.

North Korea will remain on the offensive “unless Moscow and Beijing extract real pain on North Korea,” USA Today reporter Heidi Przbyla replied.
Former Director of Communications for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign Jen Palmieri gave the most inane response of all.
“The big question is Russia though,” Palmieri began. “The simplest explanation for the fact that Russia wasn’t raised this week, that Trump always ends up in a pro-Putin place is that he’s compromised.”
Back in reality, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution this month imposing new sanction on North Korea.
As one of the five countries with veto power, Russia could have vetoed the resolution, but instead voted in favor.
