They would certainly threaten, but I would like to hope it would never come to that. We should probably move on.

Does Russia care about S. Korea and Japan? I don't think so.
But also, again. If you give the victims of an attack have the ability to fight back with the same fighting power it makes the attacker less likely to do it. Which is why I think they should have their own nuclear missals. It would take us out of the equation if N. Korea did something because now Japan and S. Korea can fight back and defend themselves. We can pull our troops out of there once they get a strong enough militia of their own, and we'd be saving our soldiers from harm of a nuclear crisis in that area were to happen.

China is North Korea's biggest trading partner and ally. Russia is allied with China and with N. Korea. China is starting to show signs of agreeing that North Korea is acting belligerent. So whether Russia has issues with Japan and South Korea or not, if North Korea got involved, China would, and if that happened, Russia would. They would have no choice.
Russia and Japan have had land disputes.

Oh yeah, I know that about Japan and Russia. I was gonna mention it but then I was like nah.
And hmm, you have a point there. Everything is honestly on such a delicate scale and we all have to be careful.

Everyone's hand is in someone else's pocket. If someone makes a move, everyone stumbles from it.
It is fascinating looking at Google Maps at the areas that are disputed between Russia and Japan. They are so destitute, yet you can see when Russian's took over and imposed their building styles and commie blocks. Truly interesting stuff to examine.

See, I came out of that debate and thought Donald Trump won over Hillary Clinton. She looked nervous, and made this fictitious claims that made her look ridiculous. I think Trump brought up many great points and defended himself when he needed to, and didn't defend too long. I think this was a good Trump performance and I would hand him a solid victory over Clinton. He had more hits tonight then misses, and Clinton came off as bumbling a lot. She just talked on and on about nothing, and I got bored with her typical politicized responses.

Oh, btw, this is the site I used to see where I stand. It doesn't like show you which politician you match up with, but it shows where you land on the scale of Libertarian vs Authoritarian and Left vs Right.

The only thing that bugs me about the poll you posted, LP is that there is no middle option. It has to be a yes or no, no matter what. And that sometimes doesn't answer the grey areas for certain questions. I still took the poll nonetheless.
I took the poll and was confused by it's findings. I was directly smack dab in the center, not off by a single line or column. So I am at the center, and up one bar.
Economic Left/Right: 0.0
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.87
So apparently I am an authoritarian? Hmmm.

Nah, not full out authoritarian. Just you have a few ideals that line with some authoritarian views.

I'm going to start taking over counties, which will lead me to taking over states, then I will take over a country, then the world.

Found a clip on the guy on CNN getting cut off from talking bad about Clinton. Odd source, still looking on YouTube:
