Not just weapons. Russia also wants to use northkorean ports and railroads to make more exports and imports straight to/from asian countries. Because all ports on the east of Russia is overloaded now.
Also NK wants Grain and Russian jets.
Wait how are they supposed to import and export from a sanctioned country?
@@theanarchist4312 they want to rent korean ports for 49 years. So it would be kinda russian territory for that term.
Also Russia and China lifted international sanctions on North Korea, witch they supported before.
@@theanarchist4312Russia, China and North Korea share a corner border.
How much would that help though? All of NK’s and China’s ports are also blocked by US allies.
Bros asking for his 50 year old weapons back
Literaly.
NK be like: no takesies backsies
We’re talking about almost 10 million artillery shells. Just imagine the level of destruction that could be inflicted by the sheer volume of those artillery shells.
I bet they can still pack a punch.
South Korea is also sending "50 yo weapons"
Also cuz NK wants food, more specifically grain, and Russian jets.
Ahh yes my favourite delicacy...jets🤗
Its not food the nk government needs, they can produce food easily but a non hungry people means a people that can think about something else instead of food, and that is dangerous.
@@billy5402 you read my comment very wrongly lol
@@winzyl9546 🤨
@@winzyl9546nah man it’s not that, they do need wayyyy more food cuz Kim needs to eat
Similar reason why the US is asking South Korea for 155mm shells.
This. These people only show one side of the story.
US does not fight the war though
it's literally funding israel lmao

Putin can't nuke the west. But Kim can. Here's a rocket bro
I mean Kim can, but it's one of those tings where if he does South Korea will be an island in 30 minutes.

@@-Katastrophe
What after 5million Americans incinerate?!
WTH are you smoking
We've been hearing "Russia is running low" for a while now. Theyre not
Russia doesnt need North Korean weapons or ammo. The reason they are buying them is because
1. Its cheaper than producing them domestically, especially with the demand being high
And 2. North korea gets to get its weapons tested in the field in real combat, and boosts their economy and military industrial complex. The deal benefits NK way more than Russia. Kim is the one who initially went to Putin to make the deal
True. In 2022 Russia produced about 2 million artillery shells, compared to the US’s 600,000 and EU’s 400,000
Russia ran low on missiles which forced them to use Kh-22, S-300s and Shaheds to make up for the shortage.
1. No, north korean industry is definitely not cheaper than the russians, if thats true then russia is far more backwards than north korea.
2. There is no real combat in north korea right now, what nonsense are you talking about.
Youre just talking nonsens, what a sad attempt at propaganda.
Isn’t slave labor in NK cheaper to make stuff?
@@winzyl9546well he meant the real combat in Ukraine not North Korea
Giving military technology to North Korea is the equivalent of giving a 5 year old a machine gun!!
What a badass 5yo
@@user-ug7vn6go2u You must be pro Russian by your statement!! Tell me what are your thoughts on Russia given nuclear capabilities to North Korea when in recent memory China ,USA and Russia all sanction North Korea over its Nuclear test. Let me guess Kim stopped being dangerous as soon as Russia got its teeth kicked in in Ukraine??
well, that "5yo" wasn't the one that dropped the only *two nukes* in history of man kind, and it's not the 5yo that literally can't stop toppling governments, supporting dictators worldwide, starting wars and invading countries all over the planet....
so yeah, US is by far greater threat to mankind and peace than n.korea
it's like giving Pakistan nukes
It's like giving north Korea new military technology
Amazing how pure speculations are treated as facts by simply repeating them.
my thought exactly
That is how FOX Affirmation Entertainment operates.
Yh sure Putin and Kim just had a personal meeting sharing some thoughts while drinking vodka.
Damn good point. "Tik Tok Shorts University"...uh, not!
Facts
North Korea has really good short range missles and medium range is probably ok as well its the long range stuff that needs work
North Korea has a surplus of arms, so they probably offer one hell of a discount
"It's pretty clear" when speculating lol
Doesn't look like they are running low.
Meanwhile zelenky was begging for credit 😂😂
The amount of shells fired is lower now than before so it’s true
Understandable. It’s not like the U.S has any moral high ground regarding anything at all.
Compared to Russia they definitely do
@@neo-luddismrules😂😂😂😂😂😂
No they don't
@@neo-luddismruleslol what are you even smoking that you will say this 😂😂
@neo-luddismrules yeah true the constant wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam and others. The overthrowing of governments and assassination plots DEFINETELY give someone the moral highground. Let's ask the 1+ million dead Iraqis how they feel about getting killed over non-existent WMD's etc.
IF YOU HAVE TO BUY AMMO!! FROM NORTH KOREA YOUR DEFINITELY STRUGGLING 😅
The west has sent more than 300B $ to Ukraine and Russian buying ammo is struggling? It is not like they can't make it by themselves, it is just quicker to buy stuff that r already made than to make it by yourself IN A MIDDLE OF A WAR... clam down bruh (╥﹏╥)
Next step: buying dollars in Cuba
Not like us that tooks ammo from south korea.
Drop the acid and get a brain dude
@@fabiog801🤨🤨🤨🤨
Desperate times, require...😂
"Trust me dude, I know what am talking about" 😂
Switzerland on background, who is with me; ) from Geneve 🎉
So weird to see Kim in a normal suit😂😂
Because enemy of my enemy is my friend? Since American have a military base in SOUTH korea, then Russia can cooperate with the North Korea. Or am I too simple?
Basically what’s happening you’re right
That would sound very threatening if North Korea's arsenal wasn't just around 50 compared to Russia's 6000 😂😂😂
North Korea has more artillery then nato
Putin better off buying nerf guns at least they work lol 😂
This is a recipe for we’re fucked
The west: listen to us we are the order of the world, now bow down to your king
Russia: 🖕🚶♂️
All this shows is how the US is moving itself into a dangerous space
Because Russia only has shovels...
Someone call task force 141
I mean they could be talking about how good Barbie movie was
That deal turned well, there is plenty of pictures of artillery backfiring with north korean ammo.
N. Korea puts all its effort into weapon research. They are probably good at it. We will see if their kit works when they get put to the test. Sit back with some popcorn and enjoy the show
Lol thats just sad
Y'all don't remember when the US sold fighter jets to Russia around the time of the Iran-Contra scandal?
What a great accomplishment for the Russian people that their bedfellows now include North Korea.
?!
"Arm itself to the teeth to help scare away its enemies"
The US: *Makes new weapons*
Also the US: *Shits its pants*
How is the US shitting its pants?
Also the US: let me sell Russia these fighter jets. Now with a rear view mirror!
Who told you they run out of...
Outcast countries🤨
need to show them both our bunker busters
Right, and get nuks in return. We don't bully countries with nuks only those without 😅
No it was a deal over ice cream!
So that's why they're calling it a sweet deal lol
Kim shook his hand that time wow
That scene when Hancock goes to jail and his enemies ally against him
Same reason USA is buying weapons from Pakistan to give to Ukraine. To continue the war lol 😂😂
On the opposite we can note that Vladimir Putin hasnt given north korea new missle tech. until now xD
I don't think they are running low on ammo. Its about what Russia is selling to N.Korea
A North Korea that is worth distracting Western forces is a objective boon for Russia
@@slippin-pr1rp North Korea could be defeated by South Korea and Japan alone.
NK and Russia..... Chollima and bear.
Yeah sure, just when russia is being counter attacked they decide to be friends with north korea.
Russia is so desperate that they need north korea, thats just sad.
@@ChucksSEADnDEADSouth Korea maybe, but South Korea would never declare war on North Korea unless they were attacked, Japan no because Japan doesn't really have an army and most of Japan's economy is focused on economic growth with the defense force being a small investment for the Japanese government, low key I think Japan still uses military equipment from the 90s.
Nice one man!
Not the most informed analysis by Johnny
When does he offer an informed analysis? 🤣
But follow for global politics 😂 from a dude in his basement
and I guess you have better analysis? Like do you even watch his videos? Because if you did, you know he constantly tells to not blindly follow what he says. Tell me which other journalists out there do that?
@@kaister901 there’s not blindly following what he says and not following what he says at all. I choose the latter
@@keithroberts2440 I am gonna take a guess that you only listen to people you agree with. Really makes you a well rounded person when you create your own echo chamber.
North Korea is not stupid
Do one of your long breakdown on what will happen if north korea gives weapons to russia
In simple words global politics is now really messed up so many tensions are going on over the world
Bruh Russia hasn't been a superpower since 1991 when they chose to secede from the USSR
Well said
They just want ammunition lol.
That's a very cool map of Switzerland.
But if NATO wants to park missiles outside of Russia's border...yeah that's going to provoke the bear...
what bear you lunatic 😂
@@gergogaal568he is not wrong. NATO started this
@@zainjabirwhat????
@@gergogaal568he thinks russia is something u shouldnt mess around;D
Maybe a bear within borders, outside of them a cub at best. Lets be realistic here, we're talkin about Russia not the USSR. It's been thirty years or so since they were even able to bluff like they could project power like that.
Question: why is Russia asking north Korea for weapons
Answer: cause why not
Question should be "is it true that Russa asking NK for weapons?"
"Why not?" Because it's a waste of money and storage space.
Y'all don't remember when the US sold fighter jets to Russia around the time of the Iran-Contra scandal?
@@aresnir2725No, the real question is, who gaf about this UA-cam BS?
Russia is not asking North Korea for weapons. Russia is seeking an employment network to allow North Koreans to work is East Russia to work in factories. I'm disappointed in you
Say it as it is: They asks for slaves and weapons in exchange for food and hard currency directly for The Pig.
North Korea always had workers in Russia. It is known that a lot of deforestation in Russia is due to logging by North Korean labor. They even have camps in Siberia.
Yeah sure, just when russia is getting counter attacked and desperately defending, now they want to befriend north korea.
How naive.
Outcast? Don’t underestimate the rest of the world other than the west!
People don't realize that if Russia is not helped by other nations with military power, then they might go with the last alternative, the nukes.
People dont realize, that if u harm a country with the goal to calm another country, just because this other country has nukes and u are afraid, there is no reason for the country with nukes to refrain from such actions in the future. Thus every country without nukes will get eaten up by their demands, thus every country will try to prevent selfharm by building their own nuclear arsenal, so the "nuclear problem" has just gotten way bigger.
Did Russia use nukes in, afganistan.
Stop using this bullshit narrative that only helps Russia.
"MUH NOOKS"
Hollow threats, use the nukes, lets see russia burn to the ground.
russia wasnt prepared for a longer war they figured it would be quick so now they have to source ammo until production can keep up
He’s most likely looking for targeting systems. North Korea can’t hit a target to save their lives.
Lol, I called it. I knew North Korea would get in on this action.
At this point, it doesn't matter what he says or does. At the end of the day, his fate has already been sealed.
I worry for North Korea. No one is focussing on their humanitarian crisis right now 💔
Why worry... why worry.
Ukraine has US and Nato.
Don't let NK be an issue...
this aint COD bruh
It's still can funds it's military despite a lot of restrictions. Maybe they had something that's valuable that no one has.
I'm getting Zelda Tears of the Kingdom shrine battle vibes from the music in this short.
PUT THE DATE IN THE VIDEO please
Was you in the meeting? How do you know?
Weapons go from China to NK to Putin, it would look bad for China if they went from China to Russia, not that hard to figure out
He might wanna look weak
Russia’s pre-war military spending was more than triple N. Korea’s entire GDP.
It’s probably close to 9x now.
N Korea is not selling weapons to Russia. In addition to violating sanctions which would could put N.Korea in a precarious situation, Russia can manufacture better weapons, faster than N Korea ever could. It makes no sense.
it makes sense. Would you need is not a gdp figures but artillery shells. Someone
Russia is ramping up shell production, just not enough to meet consumption needs. NK has a massive stockpile of shells just sitting around.
its nice that you think, you just need to get better at it.
@@Ducky97743 they’ve been saying Russia is running low on weapons for over a year despite not knowing how much they had to start, nor accurate numbers on how much they’re using.
It’s wishful thinking. Russia’s military manufacturing has no need for weapons from N Korea. It’s more likely a response to S. Korea selling the US weapons to send to Ukraine. It’s all theatrics.
@@jayintheweeds2629well Russia has been doing so poor after their initial "blitzkrieg". maybe what people are saying has some truth.
Heard Putin asked nato to become a member (before Ukraine) US er Europe said no
My country has made several attempts to, inregards to show the world how Anti-Russian the West is. We applied and were denied. Why? If the West really didn't want any conflict with us, they would let us join. But denying our requests clearly shows their motives. My people and my country are apparently the enemy, but yet, when we test the boundaries with friendship between other countries, we get rejected.
He asked clinton who said no because there is no money in peace and putin would not give any 12 and unders lol
If russia joins NATO there will be no war. And military industry will bankrupt.
North K cam give them their soviet era shells back
Korea has no spare Ammo or weapons
the enemy of my enemies is my friend no?
That dude kim's hair is slick 🔥
Spent wouldn’t Vladimir be serious about defending it country?
They were just exchanging epic games usernames so they can play duos together. Cmon guys not everything is about war SMH 🤦♂️
Aye its the guy that sliced anakin!!!
He got the high ground
Russia: I need more weapons
I missed the part where that's my problem
I need more boolets😢😢
Yes but they're BUYING them unlike the other guy who thinks they're entitled to other countries' taxpayers' money.
And? Ukrainian children are still dying everyday from Russian rockets. I don't care whether Russia needs more or not.
Russia: I need more Boolets
Ukraine: I need more Boolets, Bigger Weapons, Bigger Weapons, i need more Boolets
why the swiss land mapnin the back? I live there
Yeah. We've been hearing that for 2 years now 😂
Superpower?
Not since 1984😂
Cry more
Why you say that?
@@abdulmuizz4887 actually I laughed so hard when the Black Sea fleet was hit last week my eyes did water 💦 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@gabrielsilvas692 why?
Because they are in year 2 of a 3 day special operation and are buying old equipment from North Korea!😂
Because importing doesn't have making charges or takes much time
Now I know people are saying this is geopolitical move but maybe just maybe Putin wants the secret kimchi recipe from Kim 😋😋
This is kinda random but, I understand that North Korea, in some part, is being held back by South Korea. Is that correct?
They talked about an affordable moving company for Israel
Maybe this is the biggest push for north korean economy in a long time
They prolly jus had to be together in person for sum ritual or figure out which one gon fulfill the prophecy nun to worry abt
"...and doing his own with other outcast countries!"
Who tagged those countries as outcast? Is it not the same USA-led Western countries????
😂
No they are finding shoulder to fire the bullet with, even they understood wars are unproductive and expensive, so lets encourage some body who is keen to fight but has no opportunity and means to fight smaller enemy
Putin thinks he’s him
Bro north Korea invest less than 10% of russia Military budget
I am very surprised that someone as informed as yourself would refer to Russia as a superpower, they have not been a superpower since they were the USSR.
Dude it's just more connections for ammo
Russia has the right to defend itself 🎉
That’s nice of them 😊
war is really sad😢
They also buy weapons and ammunition from Myanmar in exchange for fighter jets and missiles. Myanmar junta uses them to fight against freedom fighters and opposing civillians. Yeah civillians. I'm not joking.
They ain't running low, It's just Cheaper! who would make weapons if you can just buy it from a buddy for cheap!
Also production bottlenecks exist. Making more ammo would be much more cumbersome than asking somebody else's reserves.
Also it's a bit hypocritical to say Russia is struggling when they fight a war where the other side is propped up by half the entire world.
I'd prefer if it would not be this way but it's good if we speak facts instead of singing propaganda lines to either side's tune.
@@willyvereb6-8% of the outdated arsenal of half the world REALLY aren’t ‘propping up’ a nation. Yeah, the weapon system they’re getting are helping, but they’re not war-winning. But you won’t mention that, will you? Because it goes against your ‘facts’.
russia china and all the other clowns be forming their own legion of doom lmao
that is fine if other countries want to form their own unions and be independent from the wester countries, the problem is most of those countries Russia, China, NK,.... are either very corrupt and or lead by dictators that is the problem,
western countries are corrupt as well, and their secret service also "work", to put it simple everyone works for their own interest
Putin is desperate.
Hey, why don't you do a video on why the US sold fighter jets to Russia around the time of the Iran-Contra Scandal?
We’re all dead 💀💀💀
