It seems that in the recent past North Korea helped Russia with some of its armament. But now they are getting together more than ever.


Russian, North Korean foreign ministers meeting in Moscow sparks concerns over increased military cooperation between the two countries

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently met with his North Korean counterpart, Choe Son-hui, in Moscow to discuss advancing bilateral relations within the framework of a comprehensive strategic partnership, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced recently.

Choe was sent to be North Korea's representative to attend the inaugural BRICS Women's Forum in St. Petersburg, part of the IV Eurasian Women's Forum, themed "Women for Strengthening Trust and Global Cooperation." Russia currently holds the BRICS presidency.

While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that President Vladimir Putin had no plans to meet Choe unlike their previous meeting in January, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has been traveling across Russia with Secretary of the Security Council and former Defense Miniter Sergei Shoigu.

The visit has sparked concerns over growing cooperation, particularly reports suggesting that Moscow may assist North Korea in developing satellite and missile technology.

Western and neighboring Asian countries are especially worried about North Korea potentially acquiring nuclear submarine technology from Russia in future technology exchanges between Pyongyang and Moscow. (Related: North Korean troops could join Russia’s war action against Ukraine.)

North Korea previously supplied Russia with ammunition during a critical phase of the ongoing Russian special military operation in Ukraine, though it remains unclear what North Korea received in return.

It is kind of pathetic how Russia alledgely needs to resort to such a tiny and autocratic nation like North Korea for them to get ammo and military technology in my opinion, it could be seen as a signal of the unwillingness of China to go full support for the Kremlin in fears of making the United States upset enough to economically attack the Chinese giant through an economical struggle, like what we saw during the first presidency of Donald Trump.
In my opinion, anyone who is willing to make deals or be proud to do business with North Korea has already lost their north, their moral high ground and implicitly admitted themselves to the tyrants and oppressors of the people of their own countries.

Also, it is important to point out North Korea does not have anything to offer if they became a member of the BRICS alliance, they do not even have as many nukes as Russia and China do, it is all about autocracy and admiration between tyrants, people who despise democracy and want the cold war times to be back in the international stage.

BRICS is a financial thing. Even though NK can't compete with a freer country, they still have trade. Perhaps that's all that Russia is really interested in... free trade.
