Russia Willing to Build Railways If Norks Give Up Nukes
And we all know how Kimmie loves his rails ... | Russia is willing to construct gas pipes, electrical power networks and railways that could bridge the two Koreas and Russia if North Korea gives up its nuclear weapons.
This is according to Russian Ambassador to South Korea Konstantin Vnukov, who told Yonhap News that the proposal could be included in the idea of the "grand bargain," which was proposed by President Lee Myung-bak as a comprehensive rewards package for North Korea if it abandons its nuclear program.
The South Korean government responded positively to Russia's overture, saying the deal can be reviewed when the six-party talks resume.
