Russia to develop ties with North Korea regardless of what other countries think — Kremlin
Tass ^ | 9/7/2023 | Tass

Posted on 09/07/2023 7:31:29 AM PDT by Alter Kaker

MOSCOW, September 7. /TASS/. Russia plans to develop its relations with North Korea regardless of what other countries might think, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

"We have our own relations with Pyongyang. We value these relations as North Korea is our neighbor, and we will of course continue to develop relations with them regardless of the opinion of other countries," he said.

Peskov was commenting on a recent allegation by US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan about the DPRK's plans to supply arms to Russia.

Peskov again declined to say whether DPRK leader Kim Jong Un is expected to visit Russia.

"We have nothing to say on this issue. Just like we had nothing to say before, we have nothing to say now," the spokesman stated.

On September 5, Peskov also declined to comment on a New York Times report that alleged the DPRK leader was going to visit Russia soon.

Tass is official Russian government propaganda. Increasingly isolated and desperate for men and weapons, Russia is desperately turning to its communist and Islamist allies - North Korea, Cuba and Iran for assistance.

“Russia is desperately turning to its communist and Islamist allies”

Either that, or Russia is answering the Neocons for forcing South Korea to send 500,000 155mm shells to Ukraine. Not exactly a brilliant move by the Neocons.

Trump had both countries under wrap, but you #NeverTrumps can’t see that.

A guest on the Lars Larsson show said North Korea has been playing off Russia vs. China since the 1950’s, and they have become very good at it.

LOL, sure putin would have never invaded Ukraine if not for the "Neocons". We should have also given him Poland, Estonia, Latvia, etc.

Russia issues list of demands it says must be met to lower tensions in Europe- Dec 2021

The demands, spelled out by Moscow in full for the first time, were handed over to the US this week. They include a demand that Nato remove any troops or weapons deployed to countries that entered the alliance after 1997, which would include much of eastern Europe, including Poland, the former Soviet countries of Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, and the Balkan countries.

Trump was tougher on Russia and North Korea than Biden by a mile. It worked! You really think Trump would have dithered on arming the Ukrainians with F16s and tanks for two years? cmon. You traitorous quislings should be careful what you wish for.

I guess the word “negotiate’ is beyond your vocabulary over there. Anyway, the Neocons chose to tell Russia to stuff it, and now the Neocons are FINALLY getting spanked...and deservedly so, considering the HORRORS they caused in Belgrade, Syria, Libya, and many other countries.

Who are you threatening? This is the 2nd time today you've done this. The Ukraine might be your country, but it isn't mine. BTW, please explain to us why Biden, and people like you, would push Ukranian kids into Russian cannon fire without air support. Go ahead, we're waiting.

The west has been prepping Ukraine for war against Russia since at least 2014.

I think those are neocons in the prepping business.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Suuure, we’ll just move everything out and abandon those countries to be enslaved to Russia again. Not.

I just wanted to leave that hanging out there. Big and bold shot at FReeRepublic management and membership. Plus, it's always a hoot being called vile names by O'Biden supporters.

“Do you consider Biden a neocon?”

His Administration certainly empowers the Neocons, but in his condition, he’s simply a Geriatric.

Yes, very true. The first “Kim” of the dynasty was schooled in Moscow at one of their academies for foreign subversives, then sent back to start the revolution in his home country. So they began as a Russian puppet state, but after the Russian-Chinese split North Korea started playing them off each other like a flirty girl with two suitors.
