>What does Gideon say on Russia-China-N Korea?

in 2 places he says
tp is in tumen river about 12 mi or 19 km from its mouth
specifying the middle of the river once & its main navigation channel once

in another place he varies slightly again
placing it about 10 mi or 16 km above the tumen estuary & west of the sea
of japan

>
>Cyprus tripoints?

here it is more complicated
& you may recall i just presumed to say on first flush that he confirms my
4 guesses of de facto tps from message 597
but he doesnt actually mention the tps & his details are basically as follows

confirmation of at least the long entrenched de facto cleavages between the
cypriot republic & the turkish republic of northern cyprus
with several enclaves & exclaves mentioned
all separated by a united nations buffer zone which is itself interrupted
toward the southeast end of the island by a british sovereign area
as is pretty well depicted in both of the perry castaneda cyprus maps

so you can see there one pair of the tps just sw of famagusta & the other
pair just ne of larnaca
all involving the uk & the un boundary junctions

these latter are my own detailed observations however since gideon gives no
cyprus map
& describes only the legal cyprus uk boundary in great detail
while not mentioning the de facto greco turko separation in any detail
