North Korea Just Moved Some Of Its Most Advanced Weaponry To The Chinese Border In A Sign Of Rising Tensions

In a sign of the continuing decline in relations between North Korea and China, Pyongyang moved a number of tanks and armored vehicles away from South Korea to the Chinese border, according to The Chosun Ilbo, citing an anonymous source.
North Korea has reportedly deployed 80 tanks to Ryanggang Province, directly across the border from China. The tanks were reinforced with armored infantry units, multiple rocket launchers, and a sharpshooter brigade.
According to Chosun Ilbo, this is the first time that such military units had been deployed in Ryanggang Province. Ryanggang was the birthplace of former North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il, and is subsequently revered by the North Koreans. The province is also strategically located as it shields North Korea's eastern port cities.

In other words 1950's soviet hand-me-downs?
Makes you go “hmmmmm.”
North Korea Just Moved Some Of Its Most Advanced Weaponry To The Chinese Border......to be scrapped.
Umm, I think that’s the wrong border to be threatening.
Oh, sure the North Koreans are going to attack CHINA??? It will NEVER happen.
I’d ask whether Baby Kim is crazy or stupid, but some wag would just answer “All of the above.”*
[*I’m not saying he’d be wrong, mind you.]
I doubt NK has ideas of invading China. They might be worried about China invading THEM in some upcoming scenario.
No kidding. The little nutjob has delusions of grandeur.
Dog biting the hand that feeds it.
Go for it, NK!
They did this prior to their last major invasion scare of South Korea. IMO the troops are sent there as a pretext to prevent Chinese invasion in response to an attack on South Korea. The reasoning being that China will attack from the north and grab as much of Korea as possible before settling with the victor of the North - South conflict.
If our dealings with N Korea have been part of some long-range plot to get them to nuke Red China...
I’m gonna have to raise my opinion of our last several Presidents if it succeeds!
Someone wants to get bitch-slapped.
Go ahead, babysun N. Korea, make my day.
Kim is looney
And China is trembling in fear ....
If China’s rabid lapdog turns on China, China will put it down without a tear.
