So now we have proof that both the sanctions against North Korea and Russia work.
Before the sanctions against Russia there was very little interest from Russia in selling oil to North Korea. Suddenly Russia is all for trading with North Korea even though the Russian economy is booming (at least according to Putin and his friends).
If things were all a-okey in Russia, why would they even bother buying artillery ammunition from North Korea one might wonder.
Did not realize the goal of sanctions was to strengthen ties between Russia and north Korea, and provide NK with economic relief.
Why would you believe that the sanctions against Russia would in any way include North Korea?
Funny thing, the sanctions against Russia doesn't include North Korea and the sanctions against North Korea never included Russia.
Happy to help you learn.
Sorry I'm not following your point
They're probably not paying much for the oil though.
And it is likely an act of desperation
So now north Korea, an economically suffocated country, can get some cheap oil as relief.
LoL. What a ridiculous take. The answer is because DPRK, like Ukraine, occupies a buffer zone between Russia and the West. The stronger DPRK is, the safer Russia is, simple as that.
What question that was never asked did you feel compelled to answer?
The question you literally ended your comment with
"one might wonder". It literally didn't say that someone did ask.
...and when you don't have anything left to say, you lash out / try to steer away from the facts.
Nice try.
It's adorable that you think you're the one who looks like a grown up here while childishly trying to pretend you weren't asking a question when called out on your bullshit.
At least I don't have to resort to name calling and cursing like a child.
Mommy, mommy, somebody said a bad word!

I love how all the mainstream western media openly admits that Russian economy is in fact doing fine, and Russia is producing 3x more shells than all of the west combined, but here you are with your galaxy brain take.
