Russia prepares for possible visit by N.Korea's Kim

Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:06pm GMT

VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, June 27 (Reuters) - Russian authorities are preparing for a possible visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, a local official in Russia's Far East said on condition of anonymity on Monday.

"We are making preparations," said the local official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.

The official declined to give any details about the trip other than that Kim was expected to travel to Russia's Far East, which borders North Korea, in an armoured train.

When asked if Kim was due to visit, the governor of Russia's Far Eastern region of Primorye, Sergei Darkin, told reporters in Moscow: "I cannot comment on what presidents of other countries plan to do. You will soon find out."

Would Chia Head get from Russia free economic aids and advanced fighter bombers, the military hardware China refused? What does he offer in return? It won't be easy to convince Russia to give freebie deals to him.

Anyway, this is a persuasive evidence that China did stiff him.

Word is China turned down his request for a whole mess of new bombers.

He might be barking up the next tree.

Hmmm....

Russia ain’t going to do anything with the North Koreans. For Russia is all about money, if you’ve got money to spend, they’ve got stuff to sell.

And North Korea ain’t got jack-squat in terms of cash.
