Proof that Trump is colluding with the Russians through South Korean go-betweens.
From reading the article about how brief and brutal a war with NK would be, it seems pretty much like all Russia would do is get in the way of our “decapitation” strike.
I guess they’d be good for something though.
I’m not sure who’s on what team anymore :)
me no likey North Korea. We just have to find the chink in their armor.
It’s all gobbledy-gook to me
Have you got a better link? This one is blocked on Edge.
Russia is our natural ally
Per Wiki:
Busan Naval Base (also known as Jakjeon Naval Base) is a Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) base in Yongho-dong, Nam-Gu, Busan, South Korea.
The base became operational in 2007 when the ROKN relocated there from Jinhae Naval Base. Among the reasons for the relocation were speed restrictions around Jinhae which slowed access to and from the base.[1]
The base can accommodate up to 30 vessels of all sizes, including the largest ROKN ships and US Nimitz-class aircraft carriers.[2]

From Commander, Naval Forces Korea Public Affairs
BUSAN, Republic of Korea (NNS) — Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Korea (CNFK) conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 19, officially opening its headquarters in Busan and ushering in a new era of U.S. and Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN) alliance.
The ceremony, attended by dignitaries and senior U.S. and ROK military leaders, marked the completion of CNFK’s relocation to Busan making it the only U.S. military headquarters in Korea located on a ROK base.
“Five years in the planning, but 59 years in the making, Commander Naval Forces Korea is home in Busan,” Rear Adm. Bill Byrne, commander of CNFK, said. “We are where we belong, shoulder-to-shoulder with the Republic of Korea Navy.”
The relocation from Seoul to Busan enhances the alliance between the ROK and U.S. navies by enabling closer collaboration and communication and reinforces the strong relationship between the partner navies.
I’m kind of glad that I didn’t buy into the Wall Street “Trump rally.”
Definitely, because we have.....um.....uh....something in common, I guess.
Republican governments? nah
Being/feeling surrounded by enemies. nah
Relying solely on oil to pay the bills. nah
Having honest elections. Well that one’s close :)
Perhaps lack of nutrition has adversely affected their taekwondo skills!/s;)
It’s also as far south of the border with NK as you can get within South Korea. Good new location for security.
Thank you, TLR. One can find out through a study of history, that Russia has helped N. Korea with tactics and weapons buildups.
Russia is not our ally in any matter worldwide.
Better to have them visit S. Korea where the No. Korean’s wouldn’t attack, then have them act as naval shields in No. Korea to prevent any American attack.
in other worlds, we live in a crazy world.

regular exhangeexchange visit
Maybe we can send the USS Harvey Milk to intimidate the russians. Thanks Obama.
Busan=Pusan. As in Pusan Perimeter. One of only 2 cities(?) that didn’t fall initially, during the Korean War. Maybe one of the safest places in Korean during the next war!!
