Formation of a “club of outcasts”: a political scientist on negotiations between the dictators of the DPRK and Russia

Formation of a “rogue club”: political scientist on the negotiations between the DPRK and Russian dictators Alina Burtseva

Vladimir Putin visited the DPRK and met with Kim Jong-un. Now you can observe the final stage of the formation of the “club of exiles” – the club of autocrats.

About this 24 Channel was told by political scientist, head of the Center for Analysis and Strategy Igor Chalenko, adding that the Russian dictator noted supposedly “friendly relations” with North Korea. However, the real attitude showed when the North Korean side kicked the Russian delegation out of the hall because they took their seats in the hall before Kim Jong-un appeared.

Cooperation between Russia and the DPRK

“This is very significant, this is a tradition. Like during the last visit with Lavrov behaved – everything is absolutely the same,” Chalenko emphasized.

Vladimir Putin and the chairman of the DPRK signed an agreement on strategic cooperation. In particular, about the military. It is obvious that North Korea will continue to be a “donor” of artillery and ballistic weapons for Russia.< /p>

However, Kim Jong-un is squeezing much more out of this cooperation. From Russian space, aviation and missile technologies to food .

“It is obvious that Putin, trivially, transfers Ukrainian stolen grain to Kim Jong-un. This is a kind of “marriage of convenience,” the political scientist said.

How Putin was greeted

The head of the Kremlin was greeted in Pyongyang on a grand scale – with red carpets, artificial flowers and portraits on poles. Thus, the head of the DPRK shows that he is “not isolated” – he has a partner – a nuclear state and a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

This show is created both for the internal North Korean viewer and outward to the world to show that Kim Jong-un is climbing the geopolitical ladder. For Putin, this is the opposite situation,” added the head of the Center for Analysis and Strategy.

On the eve of his visit to North Korea, the Russian dictator published his article. In it, he wrote that he was going to the DPRK to demonstrate “the fakeness of Russia’s isolation.” That is, the head of the Kremlin could not choose a better state where to go.
