Could this prevent a war with NK? Putin puts troops on border...

And we all laughed when Maxine Waters said "Putin was invading Korea and Trump stood by doing nothing". She was predicting the future! She is so dumb her intelligence is going forwards in time! WIZARD!

That or they are just being prepared to stop the mass influx of refugees from any possible conflict.

One or the other.

Majority of Americans soldiers don't speak Korean let alone look Korean. Let the Koreans handle Korea. This is like sending American troops to Russia and telling the Russian civilians what to do. Oh wait, that would be WW3.

Not seeing the analogy since they've been there since 1951. How about making some sense?

The base is only there because the Civil War never officially ended and Soviet Union only collapsed in 1991. If Soviet Union was still alive it makes sense to have base to counter. But, today, makes absolutely no sense to have any base there because China is a major trade partner today. Got to stop pissing off China, giving NK land to US is an absolute excuse to let China to attack US. Let alone when it should either be for the only two countries Korea or China. Japan has US bases is because it is still under watchful eyes of WW2 Occults since the Kamikaze thing and the Japs began WW2. They just can't seem to get out of their crappy samurai law. No one trusts Nuclear Japan to be honest.

It's still there despite you're pouting about it. Guess you need to suck it up.

I want their precious and rare earth metals. The North has to fall, no other choice. Then we can pay the Japanese and South Koreans to make portable tabletop hologram technology as novelty and consumer good for our grandchildrens, they will thank us. The Japanese will use the metals to make capacity and bandwidth to transfer their consciousnesses into the satellites because they are too crowded. They don not have proper population controls like the freedom to have weapons and be stupid. Thats why we need the metals, to help the population reduce when the Japanese uplaod their minds and help us rule the world.

All Russia and China have to do to prevent the US from attacing NK is to be allowed by Kim to station their troops in NK.

Russia have aleady brought train loads of air defence systems to the boarder of NK.

Don't know about your extrapolations, but the first sentence seems to be the invisible elephant in the room.

Factions of TPTB, amassing their pawns on the borders, vying to get their grubby mitts on all of that mineral treasure in the NORK mountains, while the BS fake leaders run their dog-and-pony shows.

China has cornered the market on rare earth elements, they don't need DPRK for that reason. Korea is divided for the same reason Germany was for so many years: to keep it down. South Korea alone rivals Japan economically, even though it has to waste a significant amount of its GDP on military spending. A united Korea would eclipse both Japan and Singapore economically, and present China with a regional peer. A unified Korea would also mean that America would have ground troops on the Chinese border, which Beijing would find completely unacceptable. Any negotiated unification would make US withdrawal from the peninsula a prerequisite, and that would not be acceptable to Washington. In brief, the Kim dynasty owes its existence to a Cold War stalemate, and no regional power has an interest in changing it.

Congratulations, Pyongyang! Welcome to the Nuclear Club. Watch your step... if you are not careful, you may be the fall guy for "terrorism."

Maybe...just MAYBE? Russian and Chinese troops amassing on N.K.'s borders? Perhaps they are there to KEEP N.K. in the potential destruction zone without running away if and when bombs fly.

As in "You ain't going NOWHERE' and they die in droves trying to get out of N.K.

a reply to: FHomerK

Nah, Everyone is getting ready to pick over the bones of North Korea after it gets stomped. There are lots of unmined resources there and we will see NK divided between Russia, China, South Korea and the US.

a reply to: Bramble Iceshimmer

The US wont be allowed to set fott in North Korea.

China and Russia are not building up their troops on the boarder to pick up scraps after a US Attack. They are there to make sure you dont try anything foolish.

The US are being challenged everywhere now and wont be allowed to do another Libya.

To be honest, going by passed form, if Russia is "putting troop on the border" then it is a forerunner to annexation of a slice of land.

Maybe Trump is colluding with Putin... to take care of North Korea.

He is afraid of the opposite. China has recently making noise that a chunk of Siberia, including the Kamkatchka Peninsula and the vital Russian port town of Vladivostok, are rightfully Chinese.

a reply to: DJW001
HA! China ain't never going to see the Russians give that up. They may have billions of people, but Russia has the appropriate hardware, projection force, and experience with it all to counter the Chinese who would all basically be seeing their very first moments of combat in modern history. The most experience they have is cracking down in that Muslim enclave in their southern region. Considering they are unarmed out there, its like fish in the barrel for the Chinese forces.

China is like a rooster clearing its throat to sing for the first time. I don't know if they are prepared for the real time logistics of maintaining a prolonged campaign beyond their borders. But the will likely try within the next decade.

Sorry. Did I touch a nerve?
