The Little Dick-tator may find out that Putin isn’t a pushover like Obama.

Putin will reduce North Korea to a pile of smoldering kimchi

“The incident occurred some 85 nautical miles off the shores of North Korea “

“North Korea has harsh regulations when it comes to their territorial waters, you cannot approach them closer than 50 (nautical) miles. “

?

Wonder if it is just North Korea being stupidly bellicose or if there is more to the story. When some places mess with the Bear, they get clawed.

Pudgy-boy Ill-Jong has no idea of the wasp nest he kicked over with this crap.

Putin is very wary of China, but he knows they (China) will not go to war with him in defense of this little putrid fat ass.

So, I would expect some intense diplomatic dickering, with Pudgy-boy being told in no uncertain terms by China to quit rocking the boat with Russia, so to speak.

We will probably never know what exactly transpires, but I believe it will resolve to Putin's satisfaction, and not the belligerent little-boy dictator's.

What’s weird is the Russian says, “ The yacht likely violated that rule,” Osichansky told RIA Novosti.”

How could it have violated anything if it was 35 miles outside the NK waters?

And another load of fissile material has just been successfully delivered to NK.

If this is some kind of intel ship, which I doubt it is, I hope the Ruskies have perfected the targeting of its rocket forces by now. I would hate to see them miss south of the 38th.

I don’t even think the rat boy would be dumb enough to take on the Ruskies so this is probably some kind of error on the part of the sailors. Even so, I don’t think punching the bear in the eye over a navigational error is a smart move.

“I don’t think punching the bear in the eye over a navigational error is a smart move.”

I don’t think anyone’s ever accused Jung-un of being smart.

They could, but won’t...

For the moment, China has fat boys back...and a yacht isn’t worth screwing up a relationship between Russia and China...

Putin will send a message on his own terms in time in his own way...after they get their yacht back...
