Threats of Armament by Putin, US Conducts Drill on Korean Peninsula, and Balloon Wars Escalate

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: 

• The U.S. is warning Israel against escalation regarding their campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, fearing it could provoke Iranian intervention and a wider regional war.

• Russia dictator Vladimir Putin is upping his threats against the west, saying Russia may begin arming allies to attack western targets in response to perceived NATO escalation in Ukraine.

• The U.S. just carried out a precision-guided bombing drill using live munitions for the first time in more than seven years on the Korean peninsula, in what officials describe as a “show of force” against the North.

• In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, the "balloon wars" between North and South Korea are heating up, as North Korean defectors float balloons into the hermit kingdom containing information leaflets, U.S. dollar bills, and flash drives loaded with K-pop music.
