US VP to Visit PyeongChang to Show 'Era of Strategic Patience is Over' // 3 Russian Spies?

* These two pieces of news made me think of what Russia and Trumpites are plotting, possibly regarding North Korea. A false flag that allows a takeover of control somewhere, somehow? What have we learned about the 3 spies and their mission and connection to Tillerson? Total speculation but we have to give the Russians credit for diabolical plotting and engaging US citizens in their agenda (and vice versa).

3 Russian spy chiefs visited the US days before Trump decided against new sanctions on Russia


Three top Russian intelligence officials traveled to the US last week.
Two are barred from entering the US under existing sanctions, but one official's
visit was authorized and cleared by the appropriate agencies, and it's unclear who
authorized the second's entry.
The State Department declined to comment on the specifics of visa cases and
referred further questions to the Russian Embassy.


The officials who head two of Russia's top spy agencies visited the US last week to meet with CIA Director Mike Pompeo and discuss issues related to counterterrorism, two people familiar with the matter told Business Insider.

Sergey Naryshkin of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service and Alexander Bortnikov of its Federal Security Service met with Pompeo to discuss the US's and Russia's mutual interest in counterterrorism.

A third official, Igor Korobov — who leads the GRU, Russia's military intelligence unit — visited the US at the same time as Naryshkin and Bortnikov but did not meet with Pompeo, one of the people said.

The news was first reported by The Washington Post earlier this week.

United States Vice President Mike Pence says that he is attending the upcoming Winter Olympics in PyeongChang to send a simple message that the era of U.S. "strategic patience" is over with North Korea.

​Pence, who will head the U.S. delegation to the Olympics, made the remarks on Friday during a speech at an America First Policies event in Pittsburgh.

The vice president reiterated what President Donald Trump said, that the United States is suffering now due to failed policies by its past administrations, but the Trump administration will make it clear that all options are on the table for North Korea when the regime continues its ballistic missile tests.

​He added that Washington will make efforts to put economic and diplomatic pressure on Pyongyang until the North completely abandons its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
