Early this a.m. C-SPAM was broadcasting an AEI forum called Dangerous Liaisons: Russia and the Axis of Evil.
Henry Sokolski had some pretty interesting things to say about what Russia has been doing to make money last 15 years. He confirmed what I believe about N. Korea, Russia's influence with N. Korea is diplomatic, (since they got Bill Clinton to start feeding them and got them their nuclear wares)
N. Korea demands to deal one on one with US, he must think we owe him, wonder where he got that idea.
Mr. Sokolski presented N. Korea's Ill as being just that ill. A loose cannon. It seems it is anyone's guess what Ill will do and how far he would go. However, he did suggest that Russia was doing little to nothing to reign him in.
I do not see China as N.Korea's base, because their fear is that millions of hungry Koreas will flood their country if things get out of hand.
Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Center, Executive Director,www.npec-web.org/ this web site has some very interesting studies.
Time will tell.

Well, if they (Russia) are not reigning him in, I wonder if its because they see some kind of payoff in that, or if they are not capable of doing it. After all, we have diplomatic relations with a lot countries, does'nt mean we have much influence over them...
