Russia said South Korea should refrain from “further provocations” in response to North Korea’s accusation that Seoul had sent unmanned drones across the border. The warning came as Moscow geared up to ratify a treaty on a strategic partnership with Pyongyang.

North Korea said on Friday that the South had sent unmanned drones over Pyongyang three times this month. South Korea denied the claim.

“The South Korean authorities should take Pyongyang’s warnings very seriously and cease further escalation on the peninsula through their reckless and provocative campaign, which exacerbates tension and could lead to actual armed confrontations,” Maria Zakharova, Russia’s foreign ministry spokesperson, said in a statement Monday.

The Russian statement came after media reports that Putin submitted a bill to the State Duma to ratify a treaty on a strategic partnership with North Korea.

Putin submitted the bill to the lower house of parliament on Monday to ratify the treaty on a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which was sealed in June, Russia’s state-run Sputnik news agency reported.

The treaty was signed by Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 19 in Pyongyang after their summit talks during the Russian President’s state visit.

The new partnership includes a mutual defense assistance clause that would apply in the case of “aggression” against one of the signatories.

“in response to North Korea’s accusation that Seoul had sent unmanned drones across the border.”

The South shouldn’t provoke the north. Best not to escalate the situation. Ignore their taunts.

Someone should tell Russia that the Koreans’ problems are family problems and they have no right or reason to intervene.

South Korea sends leaflets via ballons across the DMZ; NK returns the ballons with “trash” such as feces.

Washington can ill afford more confrontations around the world.

The US is pivoting from Project Ukriane to more lucrative financial schemes to enrich the MIC and DNC. Even the Reconstruction operations for Ukraine are withering on the vine as the US moves on the long advertised China War; but on the way they have to make a stop in Tehran to settle old scores festering since 1979.

2024 is the year of the RAT, the Demonic Nationist Rat, here in the States.

Wow, that’s rich. The United States has remained a global power due to our occupation of other countries, for the precieved purposes of collective defense, but in actulality to ensure that the USD is the only alternative to war.
