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.
You been playing Humankind?
Only the real-life version
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?

“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.
It’s already not looking good for them mate.

Shit, wait til people find out where Israel gets weapons from!
Got an agenda, do ya?
Yes.
Interestingly, it may be Hamas that’s getting weapons from North Korea: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/north-korea-denies-its-weapons-used-by-hamas-against-israel-2023-10-13/
But probably you were referring to the $260 Billion in defense aid Israel has gotten from the USA.
Don’t worry, everyone knows about that already.
I didn’t realize that they were taking part in the Ukrainian war.
They’re not. In fact they don’t even want to share their ‘Iron Dome’ tech with Ukraine. My point is that articles like this seem to be saying “look at these evil countries working together”, when this is objectively “normal” behavior. Is it worse in some way that Russia gets weapons from N. Korea, than Israel (or Saudi Arabia) getting weapons from the US?
Quick— distract from Israel 🇮🇱
