It seems clear to me that fat boy has been getting lots of help from Russia and Ukraine. This is making China uncomfortable as Kim is hard to control.
Vlad stirring the pot.
When is the bear gonna get burned bad enough to quit?
I also believe this is what is happening.
Rogue elements in Russia and Ukraine are giving
know-how and possibly actual technology to the NKs.
They're probably doing it for money, giving the NKs just
just enough know-how to finish the job on their own so
it looks like a home-made NK device.
These people must know what the North Korean leadership is
like. The real question is why are they doing it?
It must be for something more than just money. They know
the Norks are crazy and their use of an atomic weapon
on the US may possibly start a nuclear war that might include
Russia or China.
Is everybody involved in this operation that insane?
