    1) Russian president Putin warned of global catastrophe if military tensions with North Korea continue to increase. 2) As North Korea won't give up nuclear arms, South Korea has held more live fire drills and showcased naval power, though the president says now is not the right time for dialogue. 3) A Chinese city is a good place to contemplate China's position on the North Korea nuclear crisis, as crude oil exports are essential to North Korea and China fears regime collapse could bring chaos, instability and factional in-fighting, so it will not opt for total trade embargo or military action over talks and sanctions.
