N. Korea could probably hurl one of their crude a-bombs over with a catapult. I think even with a lot of munitions (I'm basing this on Hamas and Hezbollah) one needs a certain amount of time to fire 100,000 munitions off. At any rate, an all out attack would likely be a bad mess on both sides. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Still, everyone has to go shelter from fall out on S. Korea assuming they can even get inside in time. well, correction S. Korea has no nukes. That's the official position.

If I am Russia, definitely North Korea. They have no allies and you can control them. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

I hear China is not happy with this arrangement because they view themselves as the country that has the closest ties to North Korea. They view this relationship with Russia as interference in their region https://www.ft.com/content/67faab64-6b56-41f8-917d-647f842f0705 China will not like it one bit’: Beijing uneasy with North Korean troops in Russia Deepening Moscow-Pyongyang ties could destabilise Korean peninsula and embolden US-led alliances in region Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

You don't actually think Russia cares if Korea is destabilized do you? At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

I think they care about 155mm shells that S Korea manufactures. The west isn't supplying enough and S Korea could easily make up that gap Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
