Why Russia’s Bond With North Korea Is a Danger to the World
==========
Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing to make his first trip to North Korea in 24 years to warm up a newfound bond with its leader, Kim Jong Un, that has helped boost Russia’s firepower in its war on Ukraine. The two countries have stepped up their trade in commodities and arms, with Russia receiving artillery shells, rockets, missiles, and spare parts from North Korea. In return, North Korea receives cash, commodities, and technology from Russia. The arms transfers have increased the threat North Korea poses to the US and its allies in East Asia. The meeting between Putin and Kim in Pyongyang is expected to strengthen their alliance and further enhance their military cooperation.
