N Korea's Kim calls Putin 'closest comrade'

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has sent a birthday message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him his "closest comrade".

Kim, congratulating Putin on his 72nd birthday, added that relations between both countries would be raised to a new level.

Relations between Pyongyang and Moscow have deepened since the start of the Ukraine war - in a move that has worried the West.

Separately on Tuesday, Kim said Pyongyang would speed up steps to make his country a military super power with nuclear weapons.

According to Yonhap News quoting North Korean state media KCNA, Kim praised relations between both countries, saying they had become "invincible and eternal", since Putin's visit to Pyongyang in June.

"Meetings and comradely ties between us... will make a positive contribution to further consolidating the eternal foundation of the DPRK-Russia friendship," he added, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The relationship between North Korea and Russia goes back decades - to Stalin and Kim Il-sung, the current Kim's grandfather.

An unfortunate alliance of convenience and survival. These governments are not ideological soul mates. The cold war has ended. The Russians were pushed into this alliance by Obama/Biden’s false flagging, property seizures, and sanctions.

This isn’t true, Russia and North Korea have always been on the same page, they have even fought against us as allies and that never changed and isn’t changed now.
