4. To be fair, NK owes both China and Russia big time.

They even tried to get NK to eliminate their nuclear program. Not so much now, that's a different topic for discussion.

China sent "volunteer" troops over the border and to combat air superiority, Russia sent in pilots and planes we weren't sure that even existed during the Korean war. They spoke Korean for a couple of weeks, then Russian after, it was an open secret.

So it should be no surprise after over a half a century they finally pay the debt they owe. My concern, its what did they promise NK in addition for the troops. As well as Iran for weapons. These transactions are seldom one party.
