Go to a map..take a good look at where North Korea is on the map. Try to get a good clear picture...
Now suppose you got that map...and are looking at it. ....look carefully....There is a small piece of land that is directly north, and somewhat west...look closely...That is ...RUSSIA.
Now..look directly West to what country borders with North Korea...On the west..is CHINA
________________________________________________________
RUSSIA has a small border with North Korea
CHINA has a HUGE!!!!!!! BORDER with North Korea...
________________________________________________________
Now those 2 countries have a lot of sway over North Korea...lots of pull, lots of say..lots of trading with
North Korea....Is it in Russia and China's best interest to have a nuclear crazy man bordering them?
...If the North Koreans really got going toward a nuclear war and that war that might affect Russia and China with significant damage from explosions and air pollution.......what do you think that those two, Russia and China would do to prevent the idiot in North Korea from starting anything....that could really affect them in a horrible way...??
Russia and China would do everything to stop the idiot North Koreans from starting such an "adventure"..Why? .Because the nuclear fall out..would hurt them a great deal...NOW...when I say....
EVERYTHING........I MEAN EVERYTHING...........
North Korean leaders, whoever they are know...know that......So..even though there were people working on a nuclear bomb in North Korea.....Russia and China would be threatened more than anyone...they would have stopped the idiot from using a bomb, with a bomb of their own...Yes, China and Russia have better bombs than North Korea...and get this (this is not 1949) ...Russia and China do not want a ....Korean War....
That would clearly be against the national interests of Russia and China... a war that close to their, "homeland"...no it ain't going to happen...(at least that is what I think)...thank you for reading this..
OK.....here is a very simple, and easy to understand map of the North and South Korea..and its sorroundings..
