"Russians take out North Korean leadership."

I don't care about this. I don't care about anything RUSSIAN. We are in a state of total BULSHIT because of the Russian, they all can get hijacked and thrown into a N Korean work prison for all I care. I hope Putin joins them.

Just seems odd to me. Anybody know how big the yacht is? Why was it cruising around North Korea with just the crew?
