And Robin Williams would have a long and successful career... ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif)
When you think about it, they've ALL done pretty well. Robin more so as a universally known guy.
Yeah, but his career was cut short. |

Isn't NK's main source of relief China? or is DC lying to us again?
Yes, but it has little to do with the personal relationship between Xi and Kim.
China actually makes money by trading with SK and would prefer a unified Korea under southern rule... as long as US forces leave first.
The NK regime is tolerated as long as China needs a buffer between their border and US troops.
China has kicked out all the NK citizens living in China a few times when one Kim or another pisses them off.

That sounds very much like the explanation my Russian friend has given for Putin's activities.
I think China is also much smarter in how they lend/trade their way into many countries as opposed to invading and then attempting to nation build/rebuild.

Well, he made a choice.........he didn't want it to progress to where the choice was no longer his, IIRC
