Nothing says winning quite like receiving aid from North Korea. If you ever find yourself in a situation where North Korea is in a position to give you something useful, you should think long and hard about the decisions that have brought you to that point.
You’re joking, sure… but due to the high tensions with South Korea, North Korea has an insane stockpile of conventional weapons and a large capacity to make more. These arms are likely being traded for oil, consumer goods and food - all of which North Korea has historically had shortages of (since so much of their economy is militarily focused).
Additionally, NK got significant military aide from the USSR so their artillery gauges are actually compatible with Russian equipment both for historical stockpiles and domestically produced.
I mean, you couldn’t be more right. This is aid-point zero.
This conflict couldn’t be more zany if it tried. Russia will be asking the moon for aid next. At least India have got something up there which Russia could steal, melt down and make into an Arquebus or something.
The article seemed to state Russia was also sending Korea weapons. Seems like a trade, not just aid.
Kirby said, “we have already observed Russian ships offloading containers” that “may constitute an initial delivery of weapons from Russia” to North Korea.
How the fuck is the river flowing uphill?
The Blunderbuss Brigade rides again!!
“US provided weapons to Saudi/Ukraine/any other country it has provided weapons to” : Blue House says.
Like what is so special in N. Korea giving weapons to anyone. It is the same as US giving to someone. Yes we know it’s sanctioned, yes we know it’s human rights abuses and yes we know that it’s ruling family is a piece of shit. Does that matter? NO
Be it a weapon from North Korea or US they do the same thing: kill people and destroy things. End of it. Russia will use it on civvies, Israel will use it on civvies, Saudi will use it on civvies.
I mean, I’m no economist, but if China provides food aid to North Korea who then provides weapons to Russia, it may not look so hot for China.
