North Korea’s provocative nuclear rhetoric has gotten so bad even the Kremlin has come out against the hermit kingdom, warning continued nuclear threats could justify an invasion.
The warning was issued in the form of a written statement from the Russian foreign ministry. It follows North Korea’s threat it would engage in a “preemptive and offensive nuclear strike” in reaction to the start of joint U.S.-South Korean war games Monday.
“We consider it to be absolutely impermissible to make public statements containing threats to deliver some ‘preventive nuclear strikes’ against opponents,” said the statement, as translated by the Russian TASS news agency. “Pyongyang should be aware of the fact that in this way the DPRK [North Korea] will become fully opposed to the international community and will create international legal grounds for using military force against itself in accordance with the right of a state to self-defense enshrined in the United Nations Charter.”
Russia also had harsh words for the U.S. and South Korea, condemning the “unprecedented” exercises. “The development of the situation on the Korean peninsula and around it is causing growing concern,” said a statement issued Monday, as reported by the Kremlin-funded RT news channel.

Why would you worry about what some spoilt baby says!
You can see in the pic that hes pooping himself again! How many kids make that face when pooping the nappy! There to scared to tell him its not appropriate to do that at his age!
That would be a really bad idea, fighting that war instead of the U.S., aside from that what I understand the Russians didnt actually say that they said that other countries could attack NK if they keep up that rethoric thats not the same as formualting a direct threat, Russia doesnt even have a border with NK, only China why would they even do this, they dont have conflicts with NK.
