While admonishing the US and South Korea but still. Didn't see this posted yet. Interesting turn of events to say the least.

I heard that today. Very strange and I don't really understand it. I need to learn more. I had no idea that Russia borders DPRK at a point.

 

[Altarboy]

Maybe Russia can take the place of world police for a while. Let them fight the banana republics for the next few decades.

Hmm, hadn't read that article. Unusually strong words from our Russian friends. They usually say what they mean so perhaps little Kimmie should take notice.

Or not.

Shooting a few missiles off into the sea and blowing up dirt with nukes is nothing new for the DPRK; they usually do this every time they get hungry, expecting that the "world" will buy them off with more UN food shipments.

Of course on the other hand, think of the schoolyard bully that no one challenges; he gets bolder and bolder, with more egregious conduct as time goes on until one day.....BAM!

This is the public statement. What's happening behind the scenes may be completely different. Sort of like condemning the behavior of some group like the Mujahadin publicly while feeding them arms clandestinely.

Mongo have strong feelings for Sheriff Putin.

In most cases IMHO the country that grew em must kill em but this nut case could be an exception to the rule.

We need to align and partner with Russia.

By align and partner, you mean to go in together and remove the little dictator, I'm all for it! :thumb:

Quote: "Russia has warned North Korea that threats to deliver “preventive nuclear strikes” could create a legal basis for the use of military force against the country, suggesting that even Pyongyang’s few remaining friends are growing concerned about its increasingly confrontational stance."

Oh yeah that's good journalism..."Preventive nuclear strikes".now I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I'd guess there would be a lot of people reading that article and NOT picking that up.LOL.

What I think Russia is merely doing is giving them legal advise in that the type of rhetoric they are throwing out would give nations such as the US legal rights to turn the country into a shooting den.

I would expect China would get REAL antsy about any military actions so close to them. Also, while China seems to go along with the rest of the world's ire against the N. Korean shenanigans, I can't help but be a little suspicious that NK is yanking our chains with China's blessing, and maybe even direction. I'm not sure to what end exactly, but if China REALLY wanted them reined in.......they'd be reined in.
I really suspect there's some sort of weird,secret collusion going on there.

 

[SSGT PRIDE]

As an old Cold War Vet it's as plain as day....


Russia is talking smack to the Pillsbury Dough Boy and advising him not to shoot off nukes with the weapons grade plutonium/Uranium that Russia supplied them....it is traceable ya know! Down to the quarter mile wide hole the ore came out of! It will fly in on Russian made Scud Missiles....Russia supplies a lot of that weapons package!

Once the fallout is traced to ore that came out of the Ural Mountain Quarries .....Russia may be a shooting gallery too.

If we ever get a @[email protected]#[email protected] President that don't keep his nut sack in his wife's purse...

 

[Justme11]

If I was Obama I would be on the secure phone with Putin discussing a coordinated surgical excision.

Send China a note that they may see a small flash.

[Fillzee]

Putin and Trump are ready to swap spit. Now that they are buddies they can sit down and talk about what is really important... like Russian boar hunting or catching some whopper pike. I can see Putin shirtless, on his horse, followed by the Donald. I see some great deals made. I can even see McDonalds selling a McCaviar sandwichs with vodka smoothies.

NK plays china and russia off of each other,and us also.

Just my opinon,but SK is the only one that wants to risk a war over NK.

50 years ago NK siezed the USS PUEBLO and 100 sevicemen for close to a year-from what I remember..russia put a lot of pressure on NK,and we put pressure on SK,to prevent an all out war.

Have no clue how it will all work out.
