Analysts Think Russia Will Not Provide North Korea With Strategic Arms
Analysts seems to be agreeing with my assessment that Russia will likely focus on providing assistance with improving North Korea’s space program in return for shipping artillery shells to help fight Ukraine:

The recent burgeoning military cooperation between North Korea and Russia has sparked concerns about the potential transfer of nuclear weapons technologies from Moscow to Pyongyang, but that is unlikely to happen, according to analysts, Sunday.
Later in the day, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un departed from the Russian Far East city of Artyom, completing his six-day visit to Russia, during which the two nations vowed to bolster partnerships focusing on military cooperation.
A bulletproof train carrying Kim at the Primorsky-1 railway station was seen off by an honor guard of the Eastern Military District and the military band of the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet, according to Russia’s state-run Tass news agency. Since entering Russia last Tuesday for his first trip abroad in more than four years, Kim had met Russian President Vladimir Putin and visited key military and technology sites.“I think there may be some cooperation on space programs and lower-level military kinds of exchanges and assistance. I do wonder though, how much sensitive technology Putin is willing to give to North Korea,” Terence Roehrig, a professor at the U.S. Naval War College, told The Korea Times, Sunday.

Poor li’l Kim just can’t win…
Ha Ha, so called experts never get anything right…..
“Ha Ha, so called experts never get anything right…..”
I am inclined to believe that Russia will help NK with space technology (especially some of that tried-and-true 1950s Soviet tech) and current weapons technology that will help NK be a better outside supplier for Russia’s participation in WWIII.
I also think Russia won’t supply much nuclear technology to NK except maybe to make it safer for everyone.
Buuuuuuut… the “experts” agree with me… soooo… not sure.
Real experts go off and be experts in silence.
The only “experts” that get attention are the ones with the right opinions.
“A broad education is critical to any professional officer”
Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Education Point No. 1:
Kim Jong-eun and Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted.
space technology or space technology to improve their long-distance rockets to accurately hit Los Angeles or New York with whatever payload they want to use?
“A broad education is critical to any professional officer”
That leaves a few possibilities.
– America’s highest officers do not have a broad education (especially history and military theory)
– America’s highest officers have a broad education, but it is all in critical race theory and associated broadness
– America’s highest officers have a broad education in all the important topics and they know exactly what they are doing as they destroy and partition Ukraine.
– America’s highest officers are all low-ability diversity hires selected for their loyalty, and they are simply following the instructions of complete civilian diots who have a broad indoctrination and little real education.
“Kim Jong-eun and Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted”
Protip: Nobody can be “trusted” for many reasons. If you make this statement with a serious face as if it is some wise observation, you clown yourself.
“space technology or space technology to improve their long-distance rockets to accurately hit Los Angeles or New York with whatever payload they want to use?”
Yes.
Replacing the conjunction “or” with “and” would also be yes.
Should we make a truth table for all logical functions?
I thought calling wimmin “broads” was out of fashion? However, just like those officers who missed the traps with their Tailhook, I think the problem is not with junior officers but the would-be traitors in JCS/REMF roles.
But I could be wrong. Not as wrong as Pence or Milley; but I could be wrong.
