Russia Backs China’s Call To Stop N. Korea Nuke Tests In Exchange For Halt In US-South Korea Drills

This is the key to stopping this war. We must stop military exercises with South Korea. Then Russia and China can get North Korea in line. North Korea has not accepted these exercises from the very beginning.

We have to consider this and consider it now. There is not time to wait.

QUOTED FROM RT:

Russia has supported a Chinese initiative in the UNSC intended to stabilize the situation on the Korean peninsula. It calls on the North to refrain from missile and nuclear testing, while the US and South Korea should halt military drills in the area.

“Members of the [UN] Security Council have unanimously called upon DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] to stop missile and nuclear tests and to fulfil UNSC resolutions,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Saturday following a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) session held in New York earlier on Friday.

The UNSC called for a political and diplomatic solution to the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, the ministry added.

“In this context, the Russian Federation supported a Chinese proposal for a ‘double suspension’ (Pyongyang is to stop missile and nuclear tests and the US and South Korean militaries are to halt drills near North Korea) as a starting point for political negotiations.”

How about yes...SK and the US can train in the very south, instead of on the border with the north. Under the condition that if the North breaks the agreement, China will attack from the North, Russia from their 11 mile border, and SK from the south. We would launch sorties from the sea.

Problem I have with that is I don’t trust the word of the North Koreans, or the Russians, or the Red Chines. Not one bit.

Neither do I. Someday the South will have to do it. Better now, while fatboy doesn’t have a stockpile of nukes.

>Yea, right, with potential nuclear ballistic missiles, you don’t just “refrain!” Cease and desist. And it must be verified that they have. Who’s going to verify, the Chicoms? Do we dare trust their verification?

All US forces should be withdrawn from Korea. There is no reason to have them there other than globalist/imperialist reasons.

Time to end the American Empire and restore the American Nation.

We have 30,000 troops there. Makes no sense.

How about no.

There are no concessions available.

It is not a question of what will South Korea and the U.S. give up to end the North’s belligerent geopolitical blackmail; its nuclear weapons ambitions simply must end, period.

Until they so, the defense of South Korea will continually be raised. And, of course, until they do massive practice drills will continue to take place as well. End the nuclear tests alone is not good enough. North Korea must ends its nuclear arms ambitions.

Unacceptable BS: In order to be ready to repeal another June 1950 style invasion from North Korea the Republic of Korea must maintain a constant state of readiness and the only way to do that is drilling and training.

What the Chicoms, Russians and Norks are demanding is South Korea’s surrender to the North’s proven blood lusting tyranny.

Sorry, terrorist states do not get to tell us when we can conduct exercises with our allies.

The deal isn’t to stop testing; the deal is to __disarm__. With inspectors. And consequences for failure to cooperate.

That’s right.....and no talks until there’s ‘action moving in the direction of disarming’... I understand.

They’ve made it very clear that their objective is the conquest of the south, too. For example, the repeated digging of invasion tunnels across the DMZ. They’re worthless except for in a first strike / attempt to take over the south, because if the south strikes first and pushes them back, then they lose access to the tunnel entrances. They’re only useful in the event that the north decides to try to conquer the south.

And they made a lot of them. Which makes their motives very clear.

Just as I’ve mentioned...Ultimately Russia and China want the US out of S. Korea period......they are not about to put up with loosing their buffer nation and have US troops on their borders...And the US isn’t about to move out of S. Korea....so currently nothings changed.
