☆ North Korea’s Leader Arrives in Russia as Nations Seek Closer Military Ties
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-12 | by ( Paul Sonne | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +4 min

When the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia four years ago in their only previous meeting, it was mostly for diplomatic show. In return, Russia could give North Korea some of what it needs — food, oil or hard currency — and turn a relationship long limited to modest trade and public displays of cooperation into something more substantive. Russia’s defense minister, Sergei K. Shoigu, visited North Korea in July on a trip that U.S. officials at the time said was aimed at setting up an armaments deal. North Korea has one of the world’s largest armies, despite having a population of only about 26 million people. Analysts believe that North Korea has a surplus of ammunition since it has not fought a war since 1953, when the Korean Armistice was signed.

When the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia four years ago in their only previous meeting, it was mostly for diplomatic show. But this week he will meet Mr. Putin with the ability to supply something the Kremlin desperately needs: munitions that could help Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. Russia’s defense minister, Sergei K. Shoigu, visited North Korea in July on a trip that U.S. officials at the time said was aimed at setting up an armaments deal.

☆ In Russia, some hope U.S. midterms will mean less Ukraine aid and more chaos

But for now, few in Moscow expect the bipartisan U.S. political consensus on Ukraine to crack, whatever the result of Tuesday's midterm elections. Nor do they expect Washington's support for Kyiv to dip significantly anytime soon. "However, the Biden administration will find it more difficult to push financial aid programmes to Kyiv through Congress, and the position of U.S. critics of unlimited aid to Ukraine will markedly strengthen." "Even if it survives as a single state, the United States will change dramatically and its global position will weaken under any circumstances," Akopov opined. "Without a strong and united (United) States the West will not be able to maintain control over western Russian lands for long."

☆ De dragul unității atlantice, Germania va trebui să sacrifice UE

Și în ajunul alegerilor din SUA Europa trebuie să arate Americii că, indiferent de cine va câștiga, europenii sunt „gata să consolideze și să apere moștenirea noastră comună atlantică”. Dacă va fi mai implicată în Orientul Mijlociu și Africa Centrală, atunci își va asigura cu siguranță propria securitate, chiar și în cadrul NATO? Și, în general, „nicio altă politică nu va da un impuls mai puternic creșterii și va trimite un semnal mai clar către Beijing și întregii lumi că suntem gata să ne apărăm valorile și regulile noastre de a face business. <...> America și Europa trebuie să recunoască pe deplin realitatea că SUA sunt obligate să pună în aplicare o politică de descurajare nucleară pe continentul european". Desigur, pentru că Trumpismul, sau mai bine zis naționalismul american, care vede un competitor în Europa și vrea să slăbească structurile transnaționale, nu va dispărea nicăieri și își va lua o revanșă.
