Vladimir Putin is sending troops and equipment to Russia's border with North Korea over fears the US is preparing to attack Kim Jong-un.

The Russian President fears there will be a huge exodus of North Korean refugees if his American counterpart, Donald Trump, launches military action against Pyongyang.

It comes days after it emerged that China is also sending 150,000 soldiers to its southern frontier to cope with the tidal wave of North Koreans Beijing fears would flee across the border if war breaks out.

This morning, footage emerged appearing to show how Putin is reinforcing his 11-mile border with North Korea by relocating troops and equipment.

I think he’s probably establishing his supply lines for the Norks.

With China/Russia moving forces along the North Korean border, one thing is abundantly clear...the world knows President Trump means what he sayz.

The era of appeasement, bowing, weak kneed leadership is over.

Praise God!

I don’t know what is going to happen but it will be quick and decisive and will leave no room for retaliation.

Wait, a country is going to defend its border? Is that allowed?

Interesting question. According to Wiki 57% have no formal religious affiliation while the rest are a mix of Protestants, Catholics and Buddhists. That's South Korea, of course. Nobody really knows about North Korea.

Different reason.

China and Russian want Kim Jong-un to “calm the hell down”. He is hurting business. He is causing South Korea and Japan to bulk up their military. Neither China nor Russia want Japan to start militarizing and they don’t want nervous shipping to drive up insurance costs.

China and Russia are not going to defend fat boy. They want to prevent refugees flooding into their country.

The media is whining that Trump is hinting he has no interest in converting NK communism. Kill fat boy and let them take the spoils, not that they are worth taking.

In N. Korea, the religion is worship of the “Dear Leader”.

A strict adherence to communism, in theory, would renounce religion. So, the state would be a sort of religion, I think.

Apparently there were a lot of secret Christians in China during the Maoist era when being religious was very dangerous. It makes me wonder if the same might be true of North Korea.
