( I Don't know the real value in this )

Vladimir Putin’s forces have been caught on camera heading towards the nation's 11-mile frontier with the DPRK.

Video shows a train packed with military equipment allegedly hurtling towards the border with the rogue state.

Russia’s actions come as tensions rage between North Korea and the US amid fears war could explode in the Korean Peninsula.

Pressure on the north Korean General staff to overthrow and shoot little nut case and one of the Generals (approved by China-Russia-USA-South Korea) takes over and makes a new treaty —giving up Nukes for food and trade.

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.

Russia and China are civilizations that we often have disagreements with - but they are civilizations.

North Korea is not a civilization. Islamist countries are not civilizations.

End the end, the civilized nations have to band together to put an end to the non-civilizations, or humanity will become extinct. Trump, Xi, and Putin all seem to understand this - Obama and the Left will not.

It is not in China’s, Russia’s, the USA’s, or South Korea to let this turd blow up the world.

I am thinking he is about to “invite” Russia and China in to “stabilize” his country, then go on a sabbatical in a ditch.

“... Putin juggles Muslims, Christians, commies, everyone, and does a spectacular job of it, imho...”

One reason is there are serious consequences for crime or perceived crime in Russia. Like long stints in Siberia, which in itself is gigantic. I think Siberia is considered to be almost all of Russia except the Western side.

I think 90+ percent of Russia’s population is the the Western portion of the country.

It seems like a good investment in Seoul would have been underground bunkers.

Do you know if they ever got around to building these in Seoul? Seems like these could withstand temporary bombardment, until we could get the artillery shut down.

Russia has done this recently by building 400 sq miles of bunkers for it’s populace in case of nuclear war.

“Sweden is set to bring hundreds of Cold War-era nuclear bunkers out of mothballs as tensions with Russia in the Baltic are ratcheted up another notch. More than 60,000 nuclear bunkers were built after 1945 to protect Swedes in the event of a nuclear attack by the Soviet Union. “ (excerpt)

Kim is finally realizing he has no BFFs.

I'm thinking Russia isn't about to take on China, Japan and Trump over a worthless little punk like Kimmy and his backward county -

And we may see a'deal'on Syria, where we guarantee Putin his base on the Mediterranean in trade for outing Assad?

The "Art of the Deal" -

I think you will be breathing the “UN”-intelligent one. Vaporized.

He doesn’t have ICBMs from what I understand. Further more we have technology way beyond the old “patriot” missile defense system of the Gold War era.

Way beyond. Let’s leave it at that.

If things start blowing up, you don’t think there will be millions on the road going north?

Every reasonable author I’ve read on North Korea has stated that was the biggest reason why the South hasn’t wanted to take them out. Uneducated and brainwashed masses are not what you want streaming into your country.

These cowards had no right controlling the worlds for powerful military force THAT EVER EXISTED.

Obama hid behind this false reality that he was under control. HE WAS NEVER IN CONTROL.

The ultimate puppet.

Now the parents are home from long vacation and we have to clean up this UNGODLY mess.

Practically that whole administration should be tried and hung, or imprisoned.

Neutron bombs, I don’t even know if they have electricity in most regions of NK.

I am partially serious.

They live the early 20th century, while just a few miles South is a booming economy with modern technology.
