Russia has helped North Korea evade UN sanctions, and used North Korean slave labor to build its World Cup stadiums and other infrastructure projects.

Putin/Lavrov are working to convince both South and North Korea to act as buffer to US inerests in negotiations with Trump.

Soviet Russia installed the Kim dynasty in the first place and without their continued help to the region even following the end of Cold War, North Korea would have never been a nuclear power in the first place.

Kim is going to get a terminal case of “The Kremlin Flu”.

Lets keep him out of the country long enough to finish the Kitchen remodel. That will surprise him.

You might be very right.

I have had a thought in the back of my mind that a good course of action is that of Idi Amin. Forget the whole mass and go into wealthy exile and live the good life.

Putin might be offering Kim the place and circumstances.

China figures unification will bring all of Korea under their sway. Russia must counter that somehow.

Interesting hypothesis. Could also be a bunch of bad actors trying to throw monkey wrenches (no racist message intent) into the Trump summit plans.

And strong US insistence on neither of this occurring, and pointing out to china and russia their weak positions, all the while preventing the outbreak of another proxy war between chi-coms and russia for “ownership” of the client state NK.

The timing of all this russia and syria shite is predictable, because it is intended to “reinvent” and “reset” who is at the negotiating table. The russians seriously are not.

And Japan— waiting in the wings.

Moscow is too far. Putin flies to Vladivostok? I don’t think so. Fear of flying, no working planes and unaffordable hotel suites. Sure, why not?

I think a unified Korea will be a force to be reckoned with and nobody's puppet.
