The NORKS are going to do to China and Russia what the Congress does to the American people.
They are going to wait out China and Russia.
It is expensive keeping up your guard.
North Korea will be a 'good boy' until troops are withdrawn. Then at a later date it is back to old tricks.
At some point North Korea will miscalculate.
That is what the world gets for China using North Korea as its PITBULL.
