It’s pretty cool to see Russia and DPRK having peaceful talks. Unlike how the west goes about things.

They’re afraid of the spectre of communism.

It’s like that marching at the beginning of Hell March 2, quietly getting louder and louder, for years and years. Then the guitar riff kicks in and suddenly communism’s back baby. Right now they can hear the marching, it’s quiet and in the distance… but they are afraid.

Indeed, now that they’re no longer able to prevent trade with DPRK and Cuba, they’re going to develop rapidly and all the propaganda about communism stifling development is going to fall apart. Everyone will see that it was US blockade on these countries that was preventing them from developing.

I hope that’s the case, the very first thing they need to look at is increasing the country’s power production capacity so that stable electricity can be supplied everywhere all at once instead of just Pyongyang. Hitting that milestone will result in a considerable amount of progress as the population will be able to do a lot more with less, people will have less chores due to the electrification and appliances that shorten time spent on such tasks which will open up people’s time to doing more, both leisure and productive work in their spare time.

That and much more modern heavy machinery for many of the agricultural tasks the country has.

Robotics for factories would be a huge boon because they could reduce factory workforces enormously and push that labour towards other tasks.

The DPRK spent a lot of time building military might as deterrent and inherited many of the USSR’s military intellectual development. With their development in nuclear weapons I thought maybe the purpose was to scale back their military and just focus on a nuclear deterrent, but now I’m not so sure.

I expect that the main idea will be that Russia will provide resources in exchange for DPRK doing manufacturing. This was largely the relationship back in USSR days as well incidentally. Russian economy is overheating right now, so outsourcing manufacturing makes a lot of sense.

The all out sanctions war on Russia was a monumental fuck up on the part of Biden admin. The fear of secondary sanctions was what kept Russia from working with Cuba, Iran, and DPRK this whole time. Now that threat is used up, and Russia no longer has any reason to conform to US sanctions on other countries.

True, and now we seen Russia openly increasing contacts with DPRK, Cuba, Iran, China, basically all the bad guys on US hit list.

Who would have think that US sanctions really can bring freedom 😆

Kim will send over 2 soldiers from the 302nd Necromancy Brigade (Bloodborne) to train Russian troops to resurrect their entire military since they’ve been wiped out in Ukraine. Kim will also send 300 civilians to push Russia’s cope cages around in Ukraine since they’re experienced with pushing heavy transportation vehicles
