The spokesman, Denis Samsonov, said that Russia was examining the request but was not planning to evacuate at this stage, and that there were no outward signs of tension in the North Korean capital.

  1. China gives North Korea aid. The U.S. gives North Korea tribute so they don’t start a war. Russia does not have the NORK’s back when they try to shakedown the Western Nations so what good are they?

  2. IMHO China and Russia are writing the script and pulling all of the strings. As I have said before they can smell the weakness and ineptness in the regime of our ‘Dear Leader’.

  3. Or they want the US to focus on North Korea because something is going to happen in the Middle East.
