Russia’s Veto: Dismembering the UN Sanctions Regime on North Korea
CSIS ^

Posted on 04/18/2024 7:52:31 AM PDT by USA-FRANCE

Q2: Why is Russia doing this?

A2: Russia’s actions reflect deeper strategic cooperation with Pyongyang that has emerged as a result of North Korean support for Putin’s war in Ukraine. CSIS reports show that North Korea has supplied more than 10,000 containers of military equipment and munitions to fill three major storage depots near the front lines of the war, which could amount to more than 3 million rounds of ammunition (according to the U.S. State Department and South Korean Ministry of Defense). North Korea is preparing for a likely reciprocal visit by Putin after Kim Jong-un’s visit last year. And in the latest sign of growing cooperation, the Russian head of the foreign intelligence service, Sergei Naryshkin, met with counterparts in Pyongyang. Concerns abound that Russia may be dropping “long-held non-proliferation norms” with North Korea by supplying sensitive military technologies related to satellites, nuclear submarines, and long-range ballistic missiles in return for North Korean shipments of ammunition. There is also the possibility of co-production arrangements on new munitions to restore North Korean stocks as well as supply more and better ammunition to Russia.

Putin needs artillery shells, missiles, and drones from the North Koreans for their Ukraine fight. Nothing more.

If the Ukraine war were settled today, Kim would be isolated once more.

“If the Ukraine war were settled today, Kim would be isolated once more.”

Then Russia’s defeat is all the more important.

While it's easy to see the evil in regimes that rule with iron fists. It's less easy to see the evil in regimes that are operating under the guise of being a nation that speaks about rights & freedoms as it uses its power to stifle & suppress those freedoms that they actually despise.

But USA-FRANCE even you can see that reality if you just opened your eyes and see what you refuse to see, because you are afraid that what you thought were upstanding models to fight for, really do not exist anymore. For both nations you insist on representing with you moniker, no longer really exist as they used to exist. In fact, the alliance nations of WWII have all been captured by tyrants, as evidence that has been shared from Australia, Canada, as well as, the entire EU, is being exposed for those who are willing to face reality.

You had better wake up, for the sake of your loved ones before freedoms are squashed like a mound of ants and your loved ones are turned into ants as humanity becomes lost also.

Not to mention all those Russian natural resources you can steal when you turn Russia into the same kind Deep State criminal money-laundering paradise as Ukraine.

Now instead of having Russia as an ally in keeping North Korea and Iran’s strategic ambitions in check, you’ve got a skilled adversary forging closer ties.

The deceitful West should have taken Russia’s position on the countries into account before starting trouble in Ukraine.

The old African saying ‘want all, lose all’ applies here.

It’s a natural alliance. The Russians are Mongols.

Something tells me that the Zeepers are FINALLY starting to learn the cost of becoming enemies with a superpower, and it is NOT cheap.
