I would like to see Kim tossed, with a more moderate leader taking charge.

Part of that deal would see all nuclear and missile technology abandoned, turned over to outside people. China or Russia would be fine, just to get it all gone.

Then the North should focus on it’s people, improving their lives at once.

Then the North and South could negotiate any future developments.

Russia is always looking for more warm water ports.

I wonder if they are thinking of extending their territory south into NK and then have direct access to the "Sea of Japan" and the "East China Sea".

Seems like China and Russia would both be interested in this key real estate.

Japan would also be interested in this because from my understanding they are sworn enemies of China.
