CNN —Vladmir Putin’s first visit to North Korea in nearly a quarter of a century has been intensely scrutinized around the world.
If this is a collective defense pact, does Russia’s nuclear deterrent now extend to North Korea’s and vice versa?
“But definitely I would say this clause is very alarming.”Russia's President Vladimir Putin was given a rapturous welcome in Pyongyang.
“The West admits terrible concern around Putin’s visit to North Korea” read the headline in Moskovsky Komsomolets, a national daily newspaper Tuesday.
Russia also needs weapons to keep up its strategy of exhausting and destroying Ukraine into surrender.
