This day has been long overdue and should have come sooner. Hopefully, this will give the DPRK some breathing room under the US/ROK-led siege.

So is true or not?

>>1808363
surely hope it is

>>1808342
Based, but the real question is: why China didn't do that before?

>>1808349
>after the monitors reported on Moscow’s violations.
Time for fat profits and unsanctioned trade.

>>1808382
You might find that irritating, but China is indeed concerned about the nuclear development on the Korean peninsula. Despite a very close ally to the DPRK.

Is this true?
North korea based as always

Hell yeah, nice dude

You're not yourself regarding nuclear proliferation when you're shell hungry

>>1808391
Big if true. Why do they keep proving liberal propaganda right?
Genuinely whats wrong with North Korea's agriculture? It it a matter of little farmable land? Is there enough machinery?

>>1808450
honestly i don't know any english speaking news report about what happens in nort korea that is not liberal propaganda, so i cannot tell. Tried to look in the /dprk/ thread but still did not find that much. Russia and North korea seems to have been establishing very good relations, so that is nice i guess. Kim driving in a luxury car given by Putin was nice

Im actually happy for them.

>>1808382
they were trying to integrate with the west global capitalist system and have good relations, and it also made DPRK even more reliant on them and their goodwill. They didnt especially like them having nukes either. So from china interest standpoint it made perfect sense when they were doing it, now that the west is increasingly hostile and multipolarity is slowly emerging it makes sense to change course.

>>1808450
When the north and south split almost the entirety of the arable land was in the south.

>>1808427
Frogoids and britoids have nukes, thats enough to justify nuclear proliferation of Iran and North Korea.

>>1808471
Search for Andrei Lankov publications/media.

>>1808482
Cool, thanks for the recomendation

it shows how feeble the north korean theoretical edifice is, their marxism is toothless, completely devoid of any substance they'll ally with whoever even the most reactionary regime such as putin's - a friendly reminder that putin puts renowed communists such as boris kagarlitsky behind bars

>>1808493
>putin puts renowed communists such as boris kagarlitsky behind bars
Based. Also you should be banned for calling that thing a communist.

>>1808493
russia has done more for socialism by aiding cuba and the dprk than the likes of kagarlitsky ever have

>>1808478
Your personal opinion has little relevance with how international geopolitics work. All countries who own the nuclear weapon have a strategic interest in preventing newcomers from entering the nuke club, which is precisely why North Korea was sanctioned by Russia and China for their nuclear program. However the protracted war in Ukraine changed the equation for Russia for who nuclear proliferation in NK is a worth loss compared to the military assistance they can bring to the table, thus they decided to stop sanctioning them.

Absolutely based if true and if it is what it looks like. The DPRK has a sacrosanct right to acquire all the means necessary to ensure its own survival. In the presence of Burger imperialism and its faithful stooges in the region - the other Korea and Japan - a strong and credible nuclear weapons programme is the only thing stopping the usual suspects from turning the DPRK into an East Asian version of Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya.
Also, hopefully Russia stops pussyfooting and starts giving some tit-for-tat to muh west.

>>1808511
wasn't the sino soviet split largely caused by the soviets' unwillingness to share nuclear weapons with the chinese and cockblocking their access to it to the point they decided to abandon their ass and rejoin the global economy & pursue independent research

I was expecting this would happen soon. This was the whole reason behind Korea's support for Russia. The Russian bourgeois has been forced into an alliance with Korea due to the strain they have been put under by the war. Korea has acted very smartly. Its crazy to say that they are somehow in the wrong for exploiting an intra bourgeois war as much as possible for their own gain. This doesn't mean I don't think the DPRK is highly revisionist though (even if I'm unsure about if its no longer under a DotP).

Barf.

>>1808342
Based move even if of little concrete value

The split was due to Soviet chauvinism and fucking over China and some other socialist countries or at least acting overly controlling, but just as much about revisionism in the USSR and the party group clique led by Khrushchev basically viciously stabbing communism in the back as a whole and moving towards counter-revolution

>>1808382
China has less to gain than Russia in doing so. Historically there is examples of Russia acting against the interests of the atlanticist/western camp of the imperial core more than China would, as one example they proposed selling off a bunch of american debt to tank the American economy back in like 2014, but China refused this proposal. It would not be in their interest to accept then arguably. In many ways the well being of China's economy is more intertwined with e.g. America's than Russia's economy is. Because China sells goods to America and receives investments from them etc. Whereas Russia arguably has less important interactions and economic dependence with America, even before the Ukraine war and sanctions.

On the other hand why would China veto the treaty if they could, especially openly? They might have some benefits from a nuclear DPRK discouraging provocations from the western powers in the region, but they are trying to get along with the other bourgeois powers in the western camp, and to pro-actively seek peace here. The DPRK and China do not share a communist goal or proletarian class nature. China is a bourgeois nation in competition and trying to maintain peace and open trade with other bourgeois nations. They have no reason to desire a communist nation on their border except for example where they can use them as a bargaining chip with other bourgeois powers, and to gain sympathy from the forces of communism internationally. If the DPRK were a more powerful country and pursuing and making progress in a goal of international communism, then they would actually threaten the bourgeoisie in China (and therefore China itself in the sense of it's existence as a nation state which is the meaning we are using here).

didn't mean to sage. polite bump

Russia will probably soon openly "violate" the UNSC decision of disallowing DPRK to acquire new fighter jets.
Reasoning being is that DPRK fulfilled their part of the bargain while the US didn't.

>>1808342
>Honest Reaction?
The fire rises. Instead of giving any reason for reaction, nations like Russia and DPRK are slowly removing options from the anglosphere so that it's countries are forced to accept the same rules as every other country.

Lmao Kagarlitsky is lucky Putin is a liberal because if Putin was a communist he'd rightfully put a bullet between this trots head

>>1809436
I wonder what the Russian communists did last time their bourgeois regime was at war against the west

>>1809436
Kagarlitsky is as harmless as a post-Soviet leftist intelligentsia can be, and he has created a good platform for discussions and interviews. Besides, I’m sure you haven’t read what specific words he was put on trial for. Go read it, then come back.

>>1809537
Kagarlitsky is an anti-Soviet retard. Polish Soldiarnosc tier. If people like him were physically exterminated, maybe we wouldn't have gotten into this shit. If that's a leftist worth protecting to you, you are a numbskull who will march on CIA-organized marches and doom your country to death. Half the "Marxists" like Rudoy are just like that.

>>1809537
Kagarlitsky would get the wall just for his book titles in any socialist State under any competant communist leadership

>>1809552
So, you refuse to read the post Kagar was sentenced?
>>1809563
Great book btw.

>>1809563
Also, title translation is laughably bad, it's not "in defence", but more like "at the serve" or "Between Class and Discourse. How Left Intellectuals Serve Capitalism".

>>1809563
Judging books by their cover?
Why, yes.

I'm optimistic about the future of the DPRK. Mostly thanks to the existence of BRICS+ and NDB which mitigate the dollar sanctions.

DPRK refuses to collaborate with China which is sad because communist infighting.

Russians did more for DPRK's food security, energy and military than China did after the split.
