  • A Russian delegation headed by Borodavkin visited North Korea from Friday to Monday, the spokesman said.
  • North Korea responded by saying it was willing to return to the six-party talks without preconditions, and that other Russian requests could also be discussed
  • The U.S. has 28,500 troops in the South to guard against aggression — a presence that Pyongyang cites as a main factor behind its need to build a nuclear program.
  • Seoul came to a halt for 15 minutes as South Koreans pulled their cars by the side of the road and scrambled under desks and into subway stations as part of regular drills to prepare for a potential attack from the North.

    Summary: north korean officials told the russians that they would be willing to discuss their recently discovered uranium facility in nuke disarmament talks resume. also, south korea is doing regular drills for an attack from their counterparts in the north reflection: i think it's great the the north is willing to actually talk about some of their nuclear program with other nations instead of keeping to themselves and leaving the rest of us wondering. maybe they can be convinced that they don't need to go nuclear questions: why all this transparency all of the sudden? why does NK think that they need nukes just b/c there are US soldiers in the south? could the north be convinced to drop their nuclear program?
