Enjoy. When you come back, have a look at RT regarding north Korea. RT has three stories on their homepage:
1. Russia offers evidence North Korea missile not IBM but intercontinental. Why? To give north Korea more time.
2. China claims it has zero contact with north Korea leadership. Why? Plausibel deniability (failing badly at it, but cute though)
3.north Korea warns of nuclear war because of american drills.


So the China/Russia position about a nuclear armed north Korea that threatens the US with ICBMs is:
A. Russia: You're wrong - those are not ICBMS, leave north Korea alone
B. China: We can't help you/ don't have influence/it's not or fault (but hey don't mind the Chinese military equipment north Korea publicly uses and the financial and political support they get from us)

Wtf are Russia and China thinking? If this continues there WILL be war before this year ends.

We keep noting that China is the nation to get North Korea to behave. But though China is number one in exports and imports, there are other trade nations...and some our allies!

The top export destinations of North Korea are China ($2.34B), India ($97.8M), Pakistan ($43.1M), Burkina Faso ($32.8M) and Other Asia ($26.7M). The top import origins are China ($2.95B), India ($108M), Russia ($78.2M), Thailand ($73.8M) and the Philippines ($53.2M).

I am fully aware of the difference. And yes, China gives military stuff. and it was China who entered Korean war to help N. Korea and not the other nations...and it is China who could close down N. Korea nuttiness if they wanted to

North Korea is just a Chinese puppet, that's it. More than a buffer zone, Bejing has been using North Korea as a threat to the West. If Pyongyang starts to trouble around on a massive scale, perhaps China can enforce a leadership change, but that's it, nothing more than that.

Yeah but do you think that's OK?

It's basically China being responsible that a guy like Kim now has a nuclear weapon that soon (this or early next year latest)can reach the east coast of the US. Do you fully understand what that means?

The one country (China) that wants to change the world order and has all kind of crazy territorial claims now equips a madman with the weapons to cause trillions of dollars in damage and kill hundreds of thousand Americans -if not more. Do you really want to wait and see if our missile defense works?

What about the element of surprise? We didn't see the icbm coming. What if china gives the NORKs even more we don't know? Could the US defend against unknown/untrained for missiles of unknown number and trajectories? I don't think so, I honestly don't.

So, San Francisco and silicon valley (trillions and trillions of knowhow, technology, brainpower, infrastructure) is at stake here and the Chinese know that if only one icbm makes it through they instantly rule the new world. Check mate.

And what's the US going to do about it? Kill Kim in return? Of course. But does the bother China? Not one bit -after he's done his deed.

The world might change quicker than you all realize.
