    Russia says North Korea's nukes are a 'direct threat'

    A top Russian official said Sunday at a security conference in Singapore that North Korea’s nuclear ambitions are a “direct threat to Russia.”

    Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin told defense ministers and experts from 39 countries that Pyongyang’s missile defense system “has a real function.”

    “That is why it is alarming. And it is direct threat to Russia. We are convinced that it will increase the tensions of the region. That is our principle position," he said.

    i still see NK as doing Russia and China's dirty work for them, NK doesn't poop without China saying. Picture NK popping an emp over the US, Russia and China then have plausible deniability, even though the super emp techology NK will use came from them.

    We'll see if your assessments correct. If Russia does nothing, then you are, probably, correct. If they launch some kind of counter mission against them, to eliminate the perceived threat, then you're wrong.

    Time will tell.

    If Russia acts unilaterally before we do it could undermine or influence in the region and our standing as a global super power. Might not be a bad move for them if played right
