    Intriguing images from Beijing, captured by Japan's Nippon TV. A 21-car train, similar to one used by Kim Jong Il in 2011, pulled into Beijing Station around 3pm. Met by honor guard and line of VIP cars. Speculation is that Kim Jong Un could be in Beijing. http://www.news24.jp/articles/2018/03/26/10388940.html …pic.twitter.com/1G5jndciIr

        On of my favorite stories about that train was that one of the train cars was a giant lobster tank. That and the fact that Kim Jong Il was the single biggest purchaser of Hennessy brandy on the planet.

        North Korea should receive a firm commitment by China that if North Korea is hit by a tactical nuclear weapon, China would respond to whoever launched that attack as if a Nuclear Weapon hit Beijing. Russia has already declared that Publicly regarding Nukes hitting Russian allies.

        He's most likely working out asylum details ahead of his Trump visit where Trump will most likely stick it to him. I've written about this in December 2017 laying out what will happen in 2018. Read it. Kim Jong-Un will leave North Korea one way or another in 2018pic.twitter.com/mbx9kM068e

        Seems beyond wishful thinking to believe that bloated @POTUS, who can't fire anyone face-to-face unless it's scripted for a "reality" show, will ever stand up to Kim Jung Un, or Putin, or even Rosie O'Donnell in person.

        Xi can do nothing on Kim; and Kim should not expect Xi who can do something on Kim. Interesting

        NK VIP trains were always an item of interest for imagery analysts assigns to watch DPRK leaders. You could always spot a VIP train b/c a) always well-maintained; b) kept well away from other locomotives/rolling stock and c) no "ordinary citizens" riding on the top
