DPRK

We have written many times before about how North Korea is increasing its military capabilities. This process is going on all the time, but today we are going to talk not about tests of new equipment, but about a much more important thing, because it is one thing to test an experimental prototype, and another thing to set up the mass production and equip troops.

The conclusion of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty caused some turbulence in relations between Moscow and Seoul, and now, despite pragmatists’ attempts to keep the situation under control, there is a significant possibility that South Korea will lose its status as “the friendliest of the unfriendly countries.”

The consequences of the visit of the Russian leader to North Korea and the documents signed there are so significant that they can propel the trend of global turbulence. How have Seoul, Beijing and Washington reacted to such a rapprochement between Moscow and Pyongyang and what will be Moscow’s response to the steps taken by Seoul and its allies?
