RIA Novosti reports that Russian senator Alexei Pushkov commented on the words of the US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley about the possible destruction of the DPRK.

US Permanent Representative to the UN Nikki Haley said that the DPRK must immediately stop testing nuclear weapons. On CNN, the diplomat said that otherwise the country would be destroyed: "If North Korea continues to behave recklessly, the US will have to defend itself and its allies, North Korea will be destroyed".

Pushkov wrote on Twitter: "Hayley's hysterics at the UN, threats to start a war against the DPRK without comprehending the consequences - a sign of impasse that the US has entered. Do they think about the price of the war? ".

Also, the words of the American diplomat about the possibility of complete destruction of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea were also reacted by the first deputy chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Security and Defense, Franz Klintsevich, who described the US threat as a farce to North Korea.

The senator said: "War is not a child's walk and not an excuse for barbarian exercises. The US continues to provoke the DPRK and thereby create very serious difficulties ".

Klintsevich stressed that American intelligence "works well," therefore in the United States they know that North Korea does not have weapons that can harm the United States.

He concluded: "Hence the militant rhetoric". The senator also said that such a way of building international relations is unacceptable.

The parliamentarian added: "Because this farce continues, and in the process, North Korea violates international laws on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, thereby trying to protect themselves".

In addition, the head of the State Duma Defense Committee, Vladimir Shamanov, also commented on the words of the American diplomat, calling Hayley's statement irresponsible.

The parliamentarian said: "I think it's such a cry of the soul". He also added that the United States really has the opportunity to destroy the DPRK. However, for this, according to Shamanov, the consent of the international community.

The head of the Duma committee on defense concluded: "They are not going to live on another planet. Therefore, I think that this is tantamount to an irresponsible statement by a superpower that positions itself as the world community leader ".



In turn, Senator Yevgeny Serebrennikov pointed to the divergence of the positions of the head of the State Department Rex Tillerson and the US ambassador to the United Nations. Serebrennikov notes that Hayley's statement, as contradicts the words of the head of the US diplomatic department, who previously stated that Washington does not seek to dislodge the leadership of the DPRK and only advocates increased pressure.

According to the senator, this situation is an indicator of the lack of a unified line of conduct in US foreign policy.
