South Korea, US Start Huge Military Exercises

[DV RULES]

MOSCOW, March 11 (RIA Novosti) - South Korea and the United States began annual large-scale military exercises on Monday, shortly after a fresh round of UN sanctions was imposed on North Korea last week, Yonhap reported.

The exercise, codenamed Key Resolve, will run through March 21 and involves 10,000 South Korean and 3,500 US troops.

The exercise kicked off after Pyongyang threatened the United States last week with a preemptive nuclear strike, and said it plans to terminate the Korean War Armistice Agreement and warned of retaliatory countermeasures if the United States and South Korea went ahead with the drills.

North Korea cut off a communication hotline with South Korea on Monday, Yonhap said on Monday.

South Korea's unification ministry said the North is not answering calls made through the emergency link set up to ensure prompt, two-way communication to deal with any sudden developments along the land and sea demarcation line that separates the two Koreas.

The fourth set of UN sanctions, adopted on Thursday, is aimed at curbing the activities of North Korean institutions and individuals suspected of funneling money to the communist regime's nuclear and missile programs.

Pyongyang carried out its third nuclear weapon test last on February 12 this year, prompting widespread condemnation from the international community.

hw many nuke north korea have? is their missile can reach us? what if sk got nuked from nk... hw many people will die

 

[NiceGuy]

Red part made absolutely no sense and FYI
North Korea is your brother, not Vietnam's; Vietnam neither shares a border with North Korea nor funds them.
:

North Korea helped VN during VN war, North Korea leader respect VN and they've never killed a single VN civilian, VNese never forget that.

VN got Scud-D missile tech from North Korea, we also bought small submarine from them and we support N.K our rice ,too.

We never claimed NK as our brother, and this is the opinion of your Vietcong captain "NiceGuy" about NK.

South Korea, China killed VN civilian and never say sorry. N.Korea never kill VN civilian and they wanna destroy China-S.K, it's good for VN to keep being brother with N.K coz N.K help us to kill our enemies.

 

[Juice]

Pyongyang can nuke S.K, but I don't think US dare to nuke back Pyongyang coz it is located very near China. Bejing will be affected by radiation,too. Beijing is polluted enough already and don't wanna get worse with radiation, Mr. Kim knows it

Seem like war will start soon, and S.K-US will lose badly.

Are you serious? SK can whip NK on its own. Lotsa damage....but 50's tech only takes you so far.

 

[Viet]

Will you trust this man? He is nice and smart...and fat. Maybe he is the only person in NK who has enough to eat.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

So,the best choice to both of u to avoid nuke war is to accept the unification of Korea peninsula under Mr.Kim.other wise Mr.Kim will trigger nuke war to Seoul and if US decide to nuke back,you cant be sure that US's nuke will not drop to China's land

NK is dirty poor, do you truly believe it can annex a much richer SK?

We support the true Socialism in NK, but not that evil Kim family.

 

[NiceGuy]

Yeah, we are the guy who feeds them with food and oil, yet we are too weak.

NK is just a little pawn, if they have caused too much troubles, then it is time for them to disappear.

You can't attack N.K coz Russia will protect them,if u dont send food and oil,then Russia will do it.Love to see mr.Kim to make more troubles to you

lol, Russia is poorer than us, and most importantly she is not communist anymore, do you truly believe she will take that burden for North Korea?

Kim Jong Un's days will be numbered.

His brother Kim Jong Nam hates him gut and is pro-China.

If necessary, China will overthow Kim Jong Un's regime and replace him with his brother.

His brother is now under China's protection, and he is indeed a valuable card.

Not everyone is loyal to Kim Jong Un with WPK, many WPK members are also pro-Kim Jong Nam.

Kim Jong Un is just a stupid punk who has no experience and no clue about what he is doing.

Russia still strongly support to communist Cuba-VietNam

Empty verbal support is always useless.

Bilateral trade rose from $590 million in 2004 to $1.8 billion in 2010. China became Cuba's second largest trading partner, exceeded only by Venezuela. Chinese trade with Latin America overall has increased 42 percent over five years.

Sure, you two are both ungrateful creatures, now only with four communist states left in this world, but you wolves are still acting against your communist big brother and biting the hand that feeds you.

We would rather give all of our support to Cuba than you two wolves.

Russia to write off $35 billion of Cuba's debt. 49471.jpeg

Russia and Cuba have initialed an agreement to settle Cuba's debt to Russia on the loans that Cuba took from the Soviet Union. In addition, representatives of the two countries signed two agreements on the deliveries of Russian aircraft to Cuba in the amount of $650 million.

The initialed agreement "sets the general direction for further work", a high-ranking source in the Russian delegation told Itar-Tass. The agreement was signed by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Ricardo Cabrisas.

"This document is like a declaration of political will, and it sets off extensive work, which will consist of three stages," said the official.

"The document goes through internal procedures and coordination. Afterwards, there will be another agreement signed - the new one will contain all specifications of all the technical details, and then it will have to be ratified," he explained. According to the official, it is a very substantial amount of debt - $35 billion.

The final agreement on writing off the debts of Cuba will be prepared within six months, Minister for Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, told reporters after the Russian-Cuban talks.

"More than $30 billion - this is the total amount of debt that will be partially written off and partially refinanced, - said the minister. - So today it is still early to talk about the precise proportions. We have to coordinate all procedures inside the countries first before we sign the final agreement, which will take effect and determine the amounts and proportions of restructuring and writing-off the debt."

The minister assured that it will happen "before the end of the year for sure." "I think that the term that we have agreed on - six months - will be enough to finalize the formalities," he added.

The total volume of two agreements about the supplies of Russian planes to Cuba is $650 million, the head of the Russian Ministry of Industry said. "In total, the amount for the supply of aircraft is 650 million dollars, - he said. - This includes two agreements for three Antonov aircraft (AN-158), three Ilyushin (IL-96-400) and two Tupolev airplanes (Tu-204SM)."

Following the talks, an option agreement was signed for the supply of three An-158 airplanes. Manturov explained that these would be delivered to Cuba in addition to those that Cuba would receive this year.

Under the second agreement, Cuba will receive three Il-96-400 planes. The planes will be redesigned from the cargo to the passenger version. In addition, Cuba will receive two Tu-204SM airplanes when tests and certification procedures are complete.

In addition, the agreements, according to Manturov, stipulate for the delivery of complete sets of spare parts to maintain the operation of the aircraft, which Cuba uses already. Manturov added that all aircraft would be delivered as part of financial leasing procedures.

The Russian delegation, led by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, arrived on a work visit to Cuba from Brazil, where the head of the Russian government held talks with the leadership of the republic and took part in the meeting of the bilateral high-level commission on cooperation.

Following the results of Medvedev's official meetings in Cuba, a number of bilateral documents is expected to be signed. On Friday, the Prime Minister will visit the 22nd Havana International Book Fair, which takes place in the Cuban capital every year.
