This sounds like a threat, "international stability"

From Beijing - interesting are they updating the Moscow/Beijing Pact of l950 over what to do with N. Korea?

Remember it was Stalin who got 36 divisions (120,000) of Chinese to flow south onto 20,000 UN - US/UK etc... troops in 1950-51.
Stalin gave them air cover on their trip down.

Well, that sir is an acutely valuable and timely observation.

Recall also the Vladmir Putin cut his teeth on Stalin doctrine and his gratitude for the position he know holds goes directly to the KGB.
