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.
