Silicon Curtain | Silicon Bites #57 - North Korea is Now Deeply Committed to Enabling Russian Victory against Ukraine. @SiliconCurtain | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Edition No57 | 16-10-2024 - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused North Korea of sending military personnel to Russia. And judging by the media coverage, this is not seen as a big deal. It may be worth spelling that out. Iranian drones batter Ukrainian cities, killing civilians daily. Approximately half the three million artillery shells Russia uses annually come from North Korea. And now North Korea is sending its own troops to invade European territory. This is not hyperbole, or clickbait. North Korea is literally involved in the invasion of a sovereign European democracy, involved in the slaughter of innocent European civilians, and apparently neither the media nor our esteemed leaders seem to give a rat’s arse about it. Is this the moment where history will judge that Western democracy faltered and failed?

Russia has said it signed a treaty with North Korea that provides “strategic cooperation” in all areas. Further it adds for the avoidance of doubt, that the deal with North Korea is ‘unambiguous’. The treaty includes a mutual assistance clause, in which each side committed to help resist external aggression. That’s an interesting commitment, when Russia is struggling to retake its own territories in the Kursk oblast.

Putin signed the treaty with North Korea earlier this year but did not explain how it might be put into practice. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked whether the treaty obliged Russia to back North Korea in a conflict and he said the wording of the agreement was “quite unambiguous.” And involves “truly strategic deep cooperation in all areas, including security.
