Russia’s “border” with North Korea is a minuscule bit of land along a forbidding coast, a little Y shape contiguous with China.
I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

That’s just who he is.
“President Trump has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy, which is infectious to those around him. He has an unparalleled ability to communicate with people, whether he is speaking to a room of three or an arena of 30,000. He has built great relationships throughout his life and treats everyone with respect. He is brilliant with a great sense of humor . . . and an amazing ability to make people feel special and aspire to be more than even they thought possible.”
— Hope Hicks
Add to the list returning these two buildings to Russia and ridding them of the ban because…Obama.

Oddball Oliver Stone’s pimping Putie for cash on Showtime and crying that poor Putie’s the regular victim of assassination attempts…CBS offers this morsel…
the first mode of assassination… you try to get inside the security of the president," Stone said.
"I know that. Do you know what they say among the Russian people? They say that those who are destined to be hanged are not going to drown," Putin said.
“What is your fate, sir? Do you know?” Stone asked.
“Only God knows our destiny – yours and mine,” Putin said.
“To die in bed, maybe,” Stone said.
That’s only because the wheeler-‘n’-dealer-in-chief is gonna make a deal (after all, that’s what he does, and that’s what government is all about, beleive me) that requires them to put his name in big gold letters on each of their compounds - a privilege for which they’ll pay a tidy monthly sum, of course.
It seems to me that every day Trump has to do something to appease, placate or just ingratiate himself with Russia. Do they have such dirt on him that he has to grovel so much?

I think the only people who would care about the pee tape at this point would be the Church Ladies, and they’d be convinced it was FAKE. You know, boys will be boys and that’s not really what he’s about - it’s just a phase.

Trump is betraying Americans on so many levels. Putin is probably going to erect a statue of him in Moscow’s Red Square.

It is hard not to conclude that our President is working for Vladimir Putin. The question for me is not the collusion or the reason for it. The question for me is: Where the hell are the so-call GOP patriots in Congress? Hey, GOP! You guys OK with a Putin toady in the White House?

Well, apparently the Daily Make-Shit-Up strikes again, or their source is Louise Mensch, because the physical facts of the geography in question are what they are. Their shared border is an ITTY BITTY STRIP OF LAND along the ocean that would not support any kind of major troop movements. It’s a fking bottleneck; it would be strategically impossible to invade Korea along such a precarious little beach.
Now if they’d said that CHINA was building up troops on their border with North Korea, we could have a genuine concern, because THAT border is hundreds of miles long.
ETA, oh I see the one piece is articulating a concern that refugees might choose that route, and I suppose I can see that happening far more than a “troop buildup” or “heavy military equipment,” implying that Russia is preparing to make a move into North Korea. The fact that they are preparing to receive refugees should not concern us at all.
ETA 2: And the Tel-a-Lie is the Tory paper which tends to want its readership well and truly stirred up into war fever, just on G.P.s.
Even that aspect of the stories sounds pretty far-fetched. Russia could keep out North Korean refugees with about 250 troops. The one bridge could be defended by a handful of people (unless there’s some North Korean Second Amendment with which we’re not familiar) - otherwise, the North Koreans would have to be accomplished swimmers.
Only if the Russians were anticipating having to launch a huge humanitarian relief effort would they need to prepare. Doesn’t sound like the Putin I know, who’s a six-cylinder, Karla-trained hood.
In short, there’s just no part of this reporting that makes any sense.
Who the fuck said anything about invading North Korea? But it might be worthwhile to take notice of a significant troop buildup along the border and in the area of Vladivostok while at the same time they are building up troops in the Kurils.
Its almost like such movements would give the Russians greater strategic options in case of any hostilities opening in the area. You know, the area where Trump has been rattling his saber and revealed intelligence that we have two nuclear submarines cruising.
Nor was it one freaking paper. Google it. Its not a “Make Shit Up” story, though you passionate denouncement of actual troop redeployment within Russia as either not happening or completely normal certain has that made up smell to it.
