Russia-North Korea Alliance Raises Global Concerns
TL;DR Summary
North Korea and Russia have signed a major treaty, marking a significant shift in international alliances and military strategy. The treaty, which mandates mutual military support if either nation is invaded, has already seen North Korean troops aiding Russia against Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region. This development signals a deepening of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and a potential new Cold War dynamic, with North Korea aligning more closely with Russia and China. The move also reflects North Korea's pivot away from the U.S. following failed negotiations with former President Trump.
