    Comments on the N. Korea situation from Hyun Lee, a member of the National Campaign to End the Korean War, in this article from RT:

    • Funny thing !! .. Every 72 hours .. North Korea’s target capacity seems to triple .. A month ago .. they couldn’t get one off the ground ..

      • This “North Korean menace” meme is getting tiresome. The other “bad guys” must have run out of steam

      • There is something I just don’t get it, the ICBM thing is like what? WWII technology? And North Korea keep testing a technology which is what 60 to 70 years old, come on, these North Korea threat been spin like how many years? If China really want to stop North Korea’s activities, a simple order will do, if not, change ruler-ship isn’t all that hard, assassinate his own brother at Malaysia airport and execute his uncle does show his fear.

        Are they try to misdirect our attention? But from what?

    • Yes, it’s like one of those children’s games where the “baddies” take turns to be “it”…. at least so far as the western media establishment is concerned.

    • Here is a link to The Duran for comment and analysis and the full text of the joint Russia and China statement on the N. Korea situation.

      What I find very interesting is part no 6:
      “6. The Parties confirm that they are paying sufficient attention to the maintenance of the international and regional balance and stability, and emphasise that allied relations between separate states should not inflict damage on the interests of third parties. They are against any military presence of extra-regional forces in Northeast Asia and its build-up under the pretext of counteracting the DPRK’s missile and nuclear programmes.
      The Parties confirm that the deployment of THAAD antimissile systems in Northeast Asia is inflicting serious damage on strategic security interests of regional states, including Russia and China, and does nothing to help achieve the aims of the Korean Peninsula’s denuclearisation, nor to ensure peace and stability in the region.
      Russia and China are against the deployment of the said systems, call on the relevant countries to immediately stop and cancel the deployment process, and have agreed to adopt the necessary measures to protect the two countries’ security interests and to ensure a strategic balance in the region.”
      Which I read as “We’re watching you and your thinly veiled attempts to surround us (Russia and China) from the east with more munitions, using N. Korea as the excuse.”

      Kim Jong-un gets what he wants: the Russian-Chinese joint statement on Korean conflict (full text and analysis)
