Armenia not getting help from the CSTO vibes.
Armenia pissing on Putin's face and aligning with the US, only to be shocked when doing so leads to neither party supporting them:
oops is this the consequences of my actions
They still signed a defense treaty with Russia and were abandoned.
How were they abandoned? Pashinyan himself decided to recognize Nagorno Karabakh as Azerbaijan https://www.politico.eu/article/armenia-vow-recognize-azerbaijan-nagorno-karabakh-tensions/
NAFO projecting 😂
Intended to tell the USA that South Korea is on the menu if they get involved in Ukraine I’d wager.
That said … I can’t imagine either NK or Russia wants to be at the find out stage of that statement.
That isn’t how defense treaties work.
If you ask a russian there is a good chance they will tell you Russia is "defending" one thing or another in Ukraine.
Or that russia is in fact defending itself from an attack from "the west" atm.
It's all bullshit, but propaganda will do its thing.
Nothing (russian) stopping NK from trying to "defend" some shit in SK as well.
Off course they will then find out that Putins word is not worth the dickhole it came out of, but that's another story.
This is good for the dprk, the US still runs massive mock invasions to force them to spend massively on their military, this plus the nukes makes them a lot less precarious, especially with dedollarization too.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed the comprehensive strategic partnership treaty after their summit in Pyongyang on Wednesday.
Putin called the new treaty, which would replace the previous ones, "a truly groundbreaking document that reflects the desire of the two countries not to rest on their laurels, but to bring our relations to a new qualitative level."
After hugs and a brief chat, the two rode in a Russian-made Aurus sedan together to the Kumsusan State Guesthouse along the capital's streets, which flew Russian national flags and welcoming banners.
He further promised "full support and solidarity with the Russian government, army and people in carrying out the special military operation in Ukraine to protect the sovereignty, security interests and territorial integrity," according to Sputnik.
Putin thanked Kim for North Korea's support for the war and stressed the two countries' historical comradeship spanning from the early 20th century to their current opposition to "the hegemony policy, the imperialist politics of the United States and its satellites," Tass reported.
In the press conference later, Putin criticized the U.S.' "confrontational policy" in the region and defended North Korea against "all the attempts to place the blame for destabilization of the international situation" on his host.
