A few questions about Communism and Russia?

Question by Starvro The Vanilla Face: Can you please answer a few questions about Communism and Russia?
Questions:

1. Would Russia be able to go to war at it’s current standard?

2. Will the tension between North Korea (communist) and South Korea (capitalist) boil over, becoming another Korean war?

3. Are the allied forces going to do anything bout Kim Jon?
Apparently he’s stepping down, but handing his position to his son, who is bats*** crazy, therefore the world is at greater risk of a Nuclear War.

4. If communism is completely wiped out, will all countries once again agree to get rid of their nukes?

5. Why did Russia want communism to spread so badly?

1:Depends who against – no problem with the likes of Georgia, but a major war against a major power, no. Russia has a largely (unwilling) conscript army armed with an ageing arsenal.

2: No. There’s a 10 mile deep minefield stretching from coast to coast along the border, known as the Demilitarized Zone, so it’s hard for the 2 sides to get at each other.Further, North Korea is well aware that any attack on South Korea will bring the American military down on them and in all probability destroy their current regime.

3: No. They’ve done nothing about North Korea except send food,fuel and other aid that helps prop the regime up. Clinton even supplied them with a light water nuclear reactor, which became the basis of their nuclear weapons program and led to their development of nuclear bombs. The sooner the world realizes that leaving North Korea to starve in the dark will help hasten the end of the regime, the sooner the threat will end.North Korea doesn’t have a delivery system for its nukes, and is well aware using them will provoke retaliation in kind from USA.

4: No. Russia isn’t Communist any more, but hasn’t, and shows no sign of,giving up its nukes.Most nuclear powers are not, and never have been, Communist states.You can’t uninvent something, particularly something as powerful as nuclear weapons which are something that nobody who has them will ever be willing to give up voluntarily.

5: In the aftermath of WW2 the Soviet Union wanted to spread its Totalitarian, Communist, command economy system to the extent that it became the globally dominant social,political, and economic system.This way, they could guarantee that the Soviet Union would never be attacked by the West.
