Russian President Vladimir Putin is currently paying a visit to one of his new best friends, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Putin arrived today for a two-day visit where the leaders will discuss expanded trade and cooperation with a particular focus on military aid and supplies that Putin requires to keep pressing his war against Ukraine. North Korea’s diminutive dictator loves official state visits such as this because he still craves the recognition of the world as a legitimate national leader in his own right. This is Putin’s first trip to the country in more than two decades. As mutual members of the new axis of evil, this growing relationship is bad news for the West. Putin is helping Kim advance his satellite program while Kim has been providing Russia with rockets, some of which have already been used against Ukraine. Since they both have nuclear weapons at this point, that’s all the more reason to be concerned. (NBC News)

Putin is expected to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for talks focused on expanding military cooperation as they deepen their alignment in the face of separate, intensifying confrontations with Washington.
