Well from what I know, Russia and China are well...friends. Think about it. George W. Bush asked 4 other nations to help convince North Korea to stop missile tests. He only got 2, and they were South Korea and Japan. China and Russia did not answer George W. Bush. In other words China and Russia are probably not going to declare war on each other, because as allies Russia can give China plenty of oil without giving away too much. As a guess I think N.Korea is probably a puppet to China and Russia, so we shouldn't jump the gun to declare war on N.Korea. If Russia and China did go to war it's too hard to tell who would win, besides that could be the start of World War 3. I think your scenerio could happen , but only around 40%.

The US media covering the latest missile tests in North Korea currently places North Korea as having the 5th strongest armed forces in the world. And two of it's allies are also in the top 5 (China & Russia). Sadly, if they really wanted to start a nuclear war there is not a single thing the US or really any one else could do about it. But it's a fairly safe bet that North Korea isn't going to start a nuclear war and risk destroying itself in the process just to prove a point.

I don't think China would side with Korea, China is doing very well by the trade with the US and China is very concerned about Korea right now. I know that a renown psychic, she is no longer alive, but she predicted this scenario in the 1970's. She called it WW III. Hope it's not true, can't remember her name, it will come to me eventually! China has the Army and the resources for war now thanks to the US trade and us consumers. But this would change the world so drastically and would really hurt China's current prosperity. The leader of Korea, is a nut, I would not put it past him to launch a nuke at us, hopefully it will malfunction and blow up in Korea. Feel sorry for the people of North Korea to have to live under such a nut case, but then we have Bush....

To address you scenario. If the N.K's attacked the US and I assume you mean with their as yet unproven missile capability and limited nukes, the US would retaliate and level ALL military and most production facilities before China could even join in. Moving on, if China invaded Russia for its oil and China either was on the brink of over running the Russia-China boarder (little doubt based on troop size) or did invade Russia, there is little doubt that Russia would employ the use of tactical nuclear weapons to secure not only their oil supply but their sovereign territory. There is no love loss between the Russians and Chinese.
And for those who think that Russia and China are allies with NK based on their lack of support to sanction NK, it has more to do with who NK buys all of its weapons from than political agreement.

Russia would mobilize it's forces and ultimately send China packing.
China may have millions of people under arms, but technology eventually trumps numbers. That is unless you are Russia and this will go the opposite as did in WWII. The Reds beat the Nazis and they will beat the Chinese.

You mean improbable. China is not about to go to war to defend N.Korea. They are not as close as you imply. I don't believe China would even go to war over Taiwan, which they claim to be their land. The real danger in the world is not from N. Korea, but Iran. That's where the real trouble is going to be.

well...I know pigs would fly out of my butt, because this ain't happening. Do you know that N. Korea and China aren't really that stupid? N. Korea is like a gnat to the US. One swipe from us and they would be gone.
