#1 "Fail to overcome its economic woes" > which in reality is how CHINA covertly really wants the North to be, i.e. AN ANTI-FOREIGN,PRO-CHINA NORTH KOREA = PAN-KOREAN BUFFER STATE THAT IS ECON "SUFFICIENT/MINIMALIST" = MILITARILY WEAK, ESPEC IN RELATION TO CHINA.

China also likes to downplay or hide its historic troubles wid anti-Beijing/China Korean rebels.

NORTH KOREA wants to STOP STARVING, while RISING CHINA DESIRES UNILATERAL/SOLE BASE RIGHTS = WARM WATER PORTS THROUGHOUT THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN".

IMO A SECOND KOREAN WAR [Nuclear?] WILL INDEED OCCUR THIS DECADE, IFF NOT EARLIER, IFF ONE OR BOTH DO NOT GET WHAT THEY DESIRE.

------------

ION NOT-KOREA, TOPIX > JAPANESE PM PLEDGES TENACIOUS EFFORT TO RECOVER DISPUTED ISLANDS [former Japanese Kurils/Kuriles].

* SAME > ISLANDS CLAIMED BY JAPAN WILL BE RUSSIA'S FOREVER: INSISTS KREMLIN.

IMO 'tis more about CONTAINING CHINA THAN RUSSIA-VS-JAPAN oer the Kuriles.
