Russia has started supplying oil directly to North Korea in defiance of UN sanctions ⠀
“For the past seven years, Pyongyang has had to pay a high premium for the oil products it needs, as it relied on a complex and expensive network of criminal brokers and mid-sea ship-to-ship transfers,” said Go.
“But now, it appears it has secured a steady supply of oil either at a heavy discount or as direct payment for the munitions it is supplying to Moscow,” he added. “That is going to free up resources for North Korea’s armed forces and its nuclear weapons programme.”
Ok, I agree the us is fucked up in many ways just like the next person. But NK doesn’t need any help in harming its working class.
Yet the US is doing a great job at that with its sanctions that do nothing but harm that working class.
