Fat Boy to Waddle to Russia in May
2014-12-20
North Korean leader Pudgy Kim Jong-un is likely to visit Russia in May, the Asahi Shimbun reported Wednesday.
If we had a CIA worth anything the plane would crash in Siberia...
Moscow invited Kim to a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany on May 9 next year, the Japanese daily said quoting diplomatic sources. If he goes, Kim will also sit down with Russian President Vladimir Putin, it added.

Last month, North Korea's de facto No. 2 leader Choe Ryong-hae agreed on an exchange of visits and cooperation in 2015, the 70th anniversary of both Korean liberation from Japanese colonial rule and Russia's World War II victory.

The North has attempted to break its diplomatic isolation with the help of Russia as its relations with China deteriorate.

"Kim's ultimate goal is to stay in power as long as possible," a senior government official here said.
No, really?
"He has already consolidated his power internally by executing his uncle Jang Song-taek and is likely to try and win global recognition for his status in 2015."
Will Russia still be in business next year?

#3  I thought the Kim family was allergic to air travel, and preferred to go by rail.

* GROONG > RUSSIA'S CONTAGION TO ASIA [read, CHINA] SEEN AS LIMITED BY [Russian/Moscow] POLICY SHIFTS, ECONOMY.

* BLOOMBERG > > COLD-WAR SUEZ CRISIS ERA [1956]LOOMS AS RUSSIA BURNS THROUGH ITS CASH.

1956 UK = 2014 Russia = USA refused to help NATO ally Britain get a vital IMF loan to alleviate INternational pressure on Brit Currencies unless London adhered to UN demands to end Crisis + leave Egypt.

UK = Russia, Egypt/Suez Canal = Crimea???

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > [NITI Central = PTI] SOUTH KOREA TO INDIA: PREVENT CHINA [resurgence +] REGIONAL HEGEMONY.

Pudgy's SSSSHHH ... CCCCCC anti-China agenda gets SSSHHHH ... CCCCCC help from SOKOR???

* FYI DURDGEREPORT > [Washington Free Beacon] RUSSIAN NUCLEAR BOMBERS AGAIN BUZZ GUAM, on December 13th.

US, Artic-claimed "Near/Around" Guam = actually should read "OVER" GUAM.

FYI certain local patrons here on Guam have complained about "Compact-Impact" FSM Micronesians wanting any + all Chamorros = non-Micronesians to leave Guam for Hawaii + CONUS, a move which ironically would be indirectly/roughly consistent wid the Bammer's anti-US US OWG Globalist agenda + China's desire to acquire 1/2 of the Pacific = Guam-WESTPAC from the USA.

Before + during WW2, WESTPAC + MICRONESIA = under Japanese control soon to be under non-Japan Chinese control???
