Putin and Kim Jong Un agree to provide immediate military assistance in case of attack

Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have signed an agreement on military assistance in case of attack, upsetting the United States. The agreement strengthens the alliance between the two countries, strengthens their defense capabilities and expands trade cooperation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have agreed to provide immediate military assistance in case of an attack. In doing so, they revived a Cold War-era agreement. The move is likely to upset the United States and its partners.

The two leaders signed the agreement on Wednesday during Putin's first visit to North Korea in 24 years. Kim described the agreement as the "strongest agreement" ever signed between the two countries and one that will strengthen the alliance between the two countries.

"If either party comes under armed attack by one or more countries and war is imminent, the other party shall immediately use all means in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter and the laws of the DPRK," the agreement states, according to a statement Thursday by South Korea's state-run JoongAng News Agency.

After the signing ceremony, Kim said the agreement is defensive but increases risks for the United States and its partners in response to provocations by Moscow and North Korea, and is a symbol of defiance against the West.

The agreement, called the Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, also states that Russia and North Korea have agreed to work together to strengthen defense capabilities while expanding cooperation in trade and investment.

Putin's visit came after Kim visited Russia in September, but satellite images after the visit showed a significant increase in arms shipments since then. Putin's last visit to Pyongyang as Russian president was in 2000. Moscow and North Korea deny any weapons shipments, but there is ample evidence to support this.

 What is the Gaza Strip? What you want to be aware of the domain at the core of the Israel-Hamas war The Gaza Strip has been the focal point of weighty siege for over seven days after Israel sent off retaliatory airstrikes for the extraordinary dread assault by Palestinian assailant bunch Hamas on Oct. 7. The territory — a limited segment of land among Israel and Egypt, close to the Mediterranean Ocean — is home to generally 2.3 million Palestinians and is portrayed as quite possibly of the most thickly populated put on The planet. The 140-square-mile district is generally the size of Philadelphia. Most of the people who live in Gaza are youthful, with practically 65% of the populace younger than 24. ' World's biggest outside jail' Beginning around 2007, Israel has forced an air, land and ocean bar on the Gaza Strip, saying the move is important to protect the country from Hamas' assaults. Gaza is encircled by substantial walls and security barriers. Palestinians are di...

  Hamas is a paramilitary group that has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. The group has been responsible for numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including children and women. #BarbericHamas #BrutalityagainstIsraeliwWomenChildren #IndiawithIsrael #TerroristHamas  In one particularly barbaric act, Hamas militants attacked a school bus in southern Israel in 2004, killing five Israeli children and wounding several others. In another attack, Hamas militants fired rockets into a residential area in Ashkelon, killing a three-year-old Israeli girl.

The Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits the targeting of civi...

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas. But so far there is little agreement between the two sides on the most important differences. Meanwhile, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has expressed concern about Israel's increasing isolation from the conflict in Gaza. Most of Gaza'...
