Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visits North Korea
Recently, it was reported that North Korea may provide weapons to Russia. In the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ukraine began to fight a war of attrition, Russia is a little overwhelmed, Russia's economy is sluggish, and the high cost of military spending will affect the development of the entire country.
Ukraine has the support of weapons from NATO countries, and it is much less difficult to confront Russia. When Russia was in a position of isolation, North Korea stepped up. Seeing this, the United States began to appeal to North Korea: "Please do not break the Security Council resolution!" "Why is the United States in such a hurry this time? Let's find out together.

Cooperation between the DPRK and Russia
The United Nations Security Council has proposed that all countries must firmly maintain regional stability and peace, and the United States has used this as a reason to ask North Korea not to allow arms assistance to Russia, aiming to suppress Russia with all its strength and keep Russia in a state of isolation.
From the analysis of military experts, the DPRK's purpose in supplying Russia with nuclear weapons is not simple, and there should be some kind of cooperative ties between the two countries.
Russia has been suppressed by the United States, and North Korea has long lived under the influence of the United States, and it is expected that two countries that have been suppressed by the United States for a long time become allies. Russia needs military support and more capital to deal with Ukraine, someone to provide weapons to Ukraine, but no one to Russia, so Russia also needs someone to supply weapons, so that it can last longer on the battlefield.
Russia has North Korea as an ally, which is conducive to improving the odds. North Korea also has its own plans, hoping to use Russia's military achievements to help it improve its overall military level.
North Korea has the ability to produce weapons, but it is not yet advanced, so Russia will definitely teach how to mass-produce those weapons. As a small country, North Korea has never had a big country to protect it, and its situation is very embarrassing, often caught between two major powers and unable to move, so choosing to follow Russia is the best choice, so that at least it can ensure its own security, without continuing to be afraid.
The previous relationship between North Korea and Russia was not very good, and even very stiff, and this cooperation between the two countries can effectively ease relations. North Korea's every move is closely watched by the United States, which once wanted to suppress North Korea so that it could not successfully acquire nuclear weapons.
Another reason why the United States opposes cooperation between North Korea and Russia is that North Korea has a special geographical location and is in a politically sensitive area, and many uncertainties are concentrated in North Korea.
When the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out last year, everyone thought that it would end soon, but it dragged on for more than a year in the blink of an eye, and there is no sign of ending for the time being. At this time, it depends on who has the stronger staying power in Russia or Ukraine. If it comes to quick combat, Russia will definitely win, and last year it took only ten minutes to take the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. At this time, the United States stood up to support Ukraine and said that it would provide Ukraine with weapons.
In fact, the United States offered to provide weapons to Ukraine when the two countries had not yet gone to war, but this was only his conspiracy. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky believes it, so he is very stubborn and tough with Russia. He ignores that Putin is a man with thunderous means and will not give him much opportunity to twist. After Zelensky was fooled by the United States, he still chose to believe in the United States, and he only had this only life-saving straw to believe.

Russia is a military power, but the speed of producing military weapons is not good, and countries like North Korea are needed to produce weapons for it. Ukraine's weapons are mainly supplied by NATO countries. Originally, all Western countries thought that they would win, but they did not expect that Russia would choose to fight with North Korea. Russia and North Korea have close ties, which makes the United States very flustered.
Judging from the latest news, Russia has sent Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to North Korea to conduct military weapons manufacturing guidance, and then the two countries will carry out in-depth cooperation. Although North Korea now has tanks, drones, anti-aircraft missiles, etc., these weapons are still relatively backward, and there is still some lack in combat.
North Korea was previously threatened by South Korea that weapons were purchased from other countries. The last thing Russia lacks is advanced weapons, and it is still willing to pay for research on weapons.
Some people say that Russia's current economic level depends on eating the old capital, and there is this component, but it cannot deny its military achievements, after all, it is a country that even the United States does not dare to single out, and the number of nuclear weapons ranks first in the world. The cooperation between North Korea and Russia may bring new trends in future development, let's wait and see.
