John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the White House, believes that the “comprehensive strategic partnership” agreement between Russia and North Korea should concern not only the United States but also China.

Details: Kirby said that the agreement between Moscow and Pyongyang is at odds with China’s approaches, which he had expressed earlier.

The White House believes that these concerns will be shared by China because the agreement seems to directly contradict the statement that Putin and Xi made in Beijing just a month ago. He added that it was a commitment to a peaceful and diplomatic resolution of the situation in Ukraine.

The White House spokesperson stressed that any country that cares about security in the Indo-Pacific region and believes that UN Security Council decisions have to be implemented should be concerned.

Background:

  • The day before, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement, which includes a provision about mutual assistance in case of aggression against either of these states.
  • NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the agreement demonstrates increasing coherence between authoritarian states and underlines the importance of democracies speaking with a united voice.
  • The US presidential administration said that Putin’s meeting with Kim Jong-un demonstrates Moscow’s desire to form a coalition with North Korea, Iran, Syria and, to some extent, China.

  1. Will getting access to the Sea of Japan by mafia land suffice to assuage Xi’s feelings about the developments between his two street hookers, mafia land and north korea? No doubt, china is not amused by their expanding romance, as china sees itself as the numero uno in this part of the world.
    One thing is for sure. I would be deeply ashamed if our president had to slither to a fat idiot to plead for ammo, especially the low-quality garbage that endangers our troops. What do the ruskie sheep think about their “superpower” being reduced to go begging a third-world shithole like this?

  2. We know that the chicom regime is as sly and evil as the putinaZis.
    The norks have always functioned as the junkyard dog of the equally murderous chicoms. Likely the chicoms are using the norks as a conduit for supplying the putinaZis.
    Yes the repugnant, bloodthirsty Kim family dynasty was established by stalin, but the chicoms have control. They may well order the malignant fat kid to send koreanazi orcs to Ukraine.
    The CRINK’s aren’t going anywhere. They can’t be destroyed.
    But russia can and must be defeated. It will take a much greater military, economic and subversive effort on the behalf of the allies.
    There is great danger ahead in Europe and the U.S. for Ukraine. A Trumpkov regime will be a catastrophe, because European leadership is weakening rather than strengthening.
    The UK seems set to elect a hard left wolf dressed in centrist clothing. David Lammy, who voted against Trident, is likely to be F Sec. He doesn’t like putler, but who can trust such a leftist?
    France might get a putlerist ruling party. Yes I know Le Pen’s goons claim to have flipped on putler, but have they?

    • The main problem with the West, besides its overblown fear of escalation, are its economic interests. Without greed being a major part of calculations regarding the ultimate and complete defeat of mafia land, the mafia economy would already be in smoldering ruins.
