The Russia-North Korea alliance multiplies security risks for America
FOX NewsOct 12, 2022
The Biden admin. stated on Wednesday that Pyongyang has covertly shipped a significant number of artillery shells to aid the Russian war effort in Ukraine. A statement from National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby claimed that the resources have been sent through indirect routes, including via North Africa and the Middle East.
Kirby added that it was unknown if the artillery munitions had already reached Russia but stressed that this shipment wouldn't alter the course of the war.
The Biden administration's failed domestic and international policy has pushed North Korea and Russia into an alliance that now threatens the security of the US. Despite the risks to America, Biden has promoted war games that could lead to unintended and undesirable confrontation on the world stage.
The fact that Pyongyang is providing weapons to aid Russia's war effort in Ukraine demonstrates the success of US sanctions in isolating and undermining Moscow. As Russian forces falter, the Kremlin is resorting to the support of other weak pariah states, such as North Korea, to try and plug gaps in munitions supplies.
There's a 10% chance that North Korea will send more than 100 troops to Ukraine, without Ukrainian consent, before 2024, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
