    For any Russian citizens that had been supporting this war and truly believed their country was in the right, I don’t think it can get any more blatant that you’re the bad guys when you’re partnering with North Korea.

    “No no, this thing is going great, they’re not making progress at all- Kiiiiiiiiim, old buddy…?”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The war in Ukraine has forced the Kremlin to reassess its relationship with Pyongyang as it seeks to secure weapons to replace its own depleted stocks.

    In return, North Korea is hoping to receive valuable foreign currency to continue funding its development of intercontinental ballistic missiles – its trump card in its quest to secure concessions, and recognition as a legitimate nuclear state, from the US.

    Russia’s growing isolation has sent it in a new, worrying direction as it seeks to build a united front against a “hostile” west that includes China and now, it seems, North Korea and its million-strong army.

    As news emerged of Kim’s possible trip to Vladivostok, media reported that the North could take part in joint naval drills with Russia and China.

    In a message to Putin to mark Russia’s national day in June this year, the Kim pledged his regime’s “full support” for the invasion of Ukraine, and vowed to “hold hands” with the Russian leader in their common aim to build “a powerful country”.

    Pyongyang knows that Moscow is desperate for munitions, Everard said, adding that he expected North Korea to demand an “eye-wateringly high” price.
