The North Korean dictator Kim Jeong Il is visiting Russia to meet with its President Medvedev. They are supposedly to have talks on the natural gas pipeline that would transport it to South Korea from Russia. Does this mean Russia is going to intervene in the process of imposing sanctions on the Stalinist state?
North Korea has played the political and military brinksmanship over decades. It claims it has the right to possess nuclear weapons and tested them twice. Its military attacks killed South Korean soldiers and citizens -- reportedly for political reasons, for showing off the power of the next person in line for succession of Kim Jeong Il.
Despite the aggressiveness of the nation under one party dictatorship, the region maintained its stability and economic prosperity. South Korea did not respond to the attack militarily but tightened sanction against the North. When the regional responsible nations are in charge, some things can get done.
The vice president Joe Biden is visiting China. The issue of denuclearization was on the agenda. He is to visit Japan after his trip to China.
