Russia Provides New Internet Connection to North Korea

A major Russian telecommunications company appears to have begun providing an Internet connection to North Korea. The new link supplements one from China and will provide back-up to Pyongyang at a time the US government is reportedly attacking its Internet infrastructure and pressuring China to end all business with North Korea.

The connection, from TransTeleCom, began appearing in Internet routing databases at 09:08 UTC on Sunday, or around 17:38 Pyongyang time on Sunday evening. Internet routing databases map the thousands of connections between telecom providers and enable computers to figure out the best route to a destination.

Until now, Internet users in North Korea and those outside accessing North Korean websites were all funneled along the same route connecting North Korean ISP Star JV and the global Internet: A China Unicom link that has been in operation since 2010.

Putin is laughing his red ass off at us. First the “collusion” fake news that the left tried to use to bring down Trump and his staff/relatives, etc.

Then the fake news about direct “voting interference” (although there seems to be some evidence of attempts to do something with voters data, etc.

Now Putin is helping to keep No. Korea communist and strong.

Thank you Dennis Rodman, Gov. Richardson, and the Pyongyang Lobby. You’re all fools. Obama, you’re still a stinking coward and Bill Clinton, you weren’t as smart as you thought you were. Hillary, you never were smart, just a commie bitch and a greedy pig.

Now I feel better. NOT. There aren’t enough derisive words in the English language to describe these fools and traitors, but I’m working on a list of them.

Hey, MadMax, you’re gonna need another hard-drive for that project! Roy Schneider!

Precisely.

Knowledge of the outside is what brought down the Soviet Union.

Putin may be doing us a favor.
