Do you have trouble deciding what to wear in the mornings?

Uhh, you know the Norks weren't allied with the Ruskies, right?

They were on the Chinese side of the Sino-Soviet split.

The Soviets gave North Korea plenty of war materials during the 50's.

And I'm not sure how the Sino-Soviet split is relevant when it took place after the Korean war which is really the only time Korea mattered during the Cold War.

This isn't going well...

Said the bear

So I was reading a few books by George F. Kennan who is basically the godfather when it comes to knowledge of why Russia, specifically the Soviet Union, behaves the way it does. Now most countries have the same motivations when it comes to colonization, that being an increase in capital via resources and taxation of new settlers. However Russia has never held these views as their primary motivation for colonization. You can look at all Russian leaders going back from Ivan the Terrible to Vladimir Lenin to Joseph Stalin to Nikita Khrushchev they all wanted the same thing, that being land between them and their enemies. The Russian people are extremely xenophobic, probably some of the most xenophobic people in the world. They want as much land between them and their enemies as possible. This was a predominant reason why Eastern Europe was such a vital area to the Soviets. They wanted a giant buffer zone between them and their enemies, the West (France, Germany, UK, and the US). This can also be said for North Korea as it acted as a buffer zone between our capitalist controlled South Korea and Japan. The Russians know they're inferior to the West in every way and they're scared for that reason. Now I'm not saying that this is their only motivation for colonization but it is their primary motivation. They of course wanted their capital gains just as any country especially during their communist rule as communism must continually expand to avoid collapsing on itself.

I figured this would be an interesting subject to bring up especially with Premier Putin's recent actions throughout the world. So thoughts on this?
