Very interesting!

By the way, take a look at this article:

https://www.foreignaffairs.com/north-korea/north-korea-it-victor-cha

Another Professor wrote it.
That website seems to be LESS of a propaganda than other American/Western outlets.

One of the author's conclusion is that America should DESTABILISE the relationships between China, North Korea and Russia.

This visit is GOOD.
Iran needs to form a STRONGER bond too.

By the way, one thing that I found HILARIOUS was the North Korean strategy of signing ANY agreement with ANYBODY to curb/limit their Nuclear Programs just to IGNORE the agreements.

They sign WHATEVER the Americans proposed.
And then go right back to doing WHATEVER they want.
quality of leadership is very important

the north korean strategy was very deliberate under kim ii
we will get a nuke and we will attempt to mislead everyone including our allies

the collapse of their benefactor in the soviet union was the wake up call
they saw how china was very serious about rapprochement with the west
and knew their nuclear program will be offered up as a peace offering

khameni i was the exact opposite
he saw the brutality of the iraq-iran war where the west + soviets combined to give their blessing to saddam to gas iranians
saw the ever escalating economic terrorism on persia
and he still decided not to go for a nuke
it is the most disastrous decision by any leader of a civilization state since the start of the industrial revolution




that said, a former secretary of state did say the north koreans already had a rudimentary nuke in the 90s
more than a decade before their actual nuclear test

way i understood it
they had a basic nuclear device or something experimental in the 90s
but they assembled a proper, deliverable nuclear weapon in the 2000s

this is correct because the nuke type nk tested for the first time in 2006
was a plutonium nuke
these are more complex than uranium-based nukes
suggesting that it wasn't their first rodeo




since the start of the iran war
all core axis leaders (or rep) have met each other in person
putin, xi, kim iii, araghchi, lukashenko

the north koreans are currently pushing to be recognized as a nuclear state
so all international sanctions can be repealed
i'm not sure how that will be done, but kim iii will raise that with xi during his visit

kim iii is also rapidly expanding nk's nuclear arsenal




lastly, the grapevine is getting louder about iran and a nuke acquisition
it is coming from varied sources so there's something there
but until i see or hear something concrete, i'm still filing that under the noise column

even lavrov is subtly saying the assassination of khamenei i is a legitimate reason for iran to review its nuclear doctrine
now, whether he is saying that as a signal or to lay the groundwork for a new posture is unclear
it is peak lavrov though
an expression that when taken literally is just a statement of fact
but can also conceal multiple hidden messages

azerbaijan has publicly denied the cnn report that it permitted the genocidal ghouls to use its territory for intel and recon operations against iran

they can say whatever they like

but this treachery must be paid back in full

⚡Putin on Western policy at SPIEF:

Russia is always open to those seeking equal cooperation. Europe's aggressive bureaucracy is shortsighted its elites are provoking chaos and dragging more and more countries into it.

The West has deliberately built a global system of dependency and resource extraction. The roots of today's turbulence lie in the transition from a "vertical" world order to a multipolar one and the world becomes more just as economic growth reaches more countries

⚡Zelensky writes an open letter to Putin:

Whatever you say about NATO, geopolitics, and the Russian language — this war is your personal choice.

A war without a real reason. That is how history will remember it.

You did not expect full-scale resistance from Ukraine and did not predict that things would go this far. But we are all here — in the fifth year of full-scale confrontation.

Ukraine preserves its independence. And will preserve it. Despite any other predictions.

Don't be afraid to get out of the war — that is the main thing needed from you now.

We in Ukraine do not want permanent war. We know very well that without war is immeasurably better.

You won't have enough money and political power to continue buying the loyalty of Russians as you have done for 26 years. We will do everything to make the world know about this.

As you yourself say — 'everything must be counted.'
The comedian is crying feeling more pains since he understands that UK USA evil nato near mother Russia is equal to death for both nato and Ukraine

⚡Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed a face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin, calling for a full ceasefire and direct talks to end the war.

Zelenskyy urged Putin to set a date for the meeting.
No intelligent president wants to meet a clown that refuses to obey instructions

To end the war leave those places then you can get peace

North Korea was definitely BLESSED with visionary Leaders.
And they STILL are.

If they had Khamenei-type Leaders, they would have been on the CHOPPING BLOCK of the Epstein Regime by now.

Their first-class seat to the sheer EVIL that America UNLEASHED on Japan also likely played a MAJOR role in their REFUSAL to give up their Nuclear program.

After seeing the "good guys" drop NOT one but two EMBODIMENTS of DEATH on densely populated areas within a span of 3 days, the North Koreans likely had NO doubt about the kind of EVIL they were dealing with.

Their Leader UNDERSTOOD the assignment.
As Kim Jong Un now does.

He saw the Epstein Regime TARGETING Leaders with ASSASSINATIONS and KIDNAPPINGS and acted SWIFTLY.

Now, ANYBODY who launches a decapitation strike against North Korea would have to CONTEND with their Nuclear Arsenal and pray to their god that NONE of them hit their targets.

ACCELERATING the development of their nukes is also a WONDERFUL step.

As for sanctions, North Korea likely knows that's NOT going to happen.

The article says Washington and the West have NO direct line of contact with NK.
There is a phone at their border with South Korea that they RARELY pick.

The article also said the US routinely slide letters under the door of their UN office and North Korea slides it back UNOPENED.

grin

They may ONLY be interested in deepening their trade agreements with China and Russia rather than reintegration with the world/western economy.

Russia will take care of their energy and agricultural needs.
China can take care of their consumer goods.

Because, the Epstein Regime is unlikely to recognise them as a Nuclear Power.
The PDFile still talked about DENUCLEARISING North Korea last month.

As for the Iran Nuke rumour, I too REFUSE to believe it.
I DON'T trust Iranian Leaders.

The point made by Lavrov is what EVERYBODY expects.
They have the PERFECT excuse to develop Nukes and NEVER stop until their arsenal overflows with nukes.

But if they did NOT do it after the PDFile ASSASSINATED Solemaini and RENEGED on Obama's deal with them.

And they were still READY to negotiate it away after the PDFile ASSASSINATED their Supreme Leader, his ENTIRE lineage and over 150 of their CHILDREN.

I do NOT believe they'll do it even now.

⚡Putin announces plans to relocate more major state-owned companies and corporations from Moscow to the regions.

He said the decentralization drive is designed to ease pressure on the capital, boost regional business development and strengthen local budgets.

Putin cited RusHydro and PSB Bank as positive examples, and said a relocation decision has been made for aerospace giant the United Engine Corporation. Similar decisions are in the final stage for companies in the Russian Railways group and other railway construction structures, he added.

they already fought a tag-team war against the us in the 50s

the korean war

so they know exactly what type of evil they face
if it wasn't for china's intervention
what happened to saddam and ghadaffi would have happened kim i

in fact, clinton was considering attacking them in the mid 90s
to destroy their nuclear facilities
a republican potus at that point likely would have
because the reasoning then was that china wouldn't do much because they were lobbying to be introduced into the wto

so it wasn't just terrorism in the past
the threat of attacks and decapitation strikes was ongoing
right up until they acquired and tested a nuke

it is why i say khamenei i had no excuse
dude is just a dumb f**k




on nk-us relations

the war in ukraine is a godsend
it is the best gift to nk since its founding

nk is not a large country
it is only about 25 million people
and they have an industrialized base
nk has often been called the poorest industrialized nation

with tech transfer they can build anything
energy and food from russia
everything else from china
in return, nk will augment industrial output of the axis




the only reason why nk even wants sanctions relief
is to diversify

they do not want to be beholden to the superpowers
they want some agency
it is always good to have choice
