Kim Jong Un and Putin summit is a case in point of the close co operation and collaboration both leaders would want to maintain in tune with their growing military ambitions. For Russia staring at a resource crunch for continuation of war in Ukraine has made him rally behind North Korea with Kim too wanting to negotiate and bargain with its recent failure to accomplish a feat in space putting it’s military satellite into the orbit.
For Putin, this comes on the back of Western sanctions compelling him to chart his path exploring alternatives with the Ukraine war debilitating his ranking and standing as a global leader. Trying out his hands he would want to come off it with the US keeping a close tab for the peculiarities of this pact challenging the existing equations. Russia, China and North Korea are the axis of evils challenging the supremacy and sovereignty of the US as a global power.
Keeping the US policy makers and experts on its toes as any untoward and unfamiliar international episode and affair is tackled strategically by it for the Russian misadventures in Ukraine testing the limits of Ukraine’s over reliance and dependence on the West shielding itself from Russian onslaught.
However this was read as an mark of interference with Russians provocatively reacting towards countering the exaggeration and hype of the West on territorial integrity and sovereignty. An insecure Putin is leaving nothing to chance vowing to fend for itself given how International politics is presently stacked.
North Korea certainly is a prospective ally adding a lot to Putin, s kitty in return for a favour seeing it taking up a reckless modernisation pursuit with a view tackling it’s foe and adversary South Korea through ways, means and mediums of military prowess, expansion and enriching it’s reserves
Russia sits pretty well with Kim’s manifestation.
