#2 Ok. What I see here is Russia offering support to SK because they sense an opportunity to increase their influence with SK given the weakness of the Obama admin. Geographically, they are close to SK. If Russia could extend their influence down the eastern coast of Asia, at almost zero cost to them, it would be a huge win for them. (I wonder if Moscow will get chummy with Japan?)

Now add in the irritant of the illicit logging camps of NK that must be of some concern to Moscow, something I think of as low level provocation by encroachment.
