🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵 The prerequisites for the resumption of strategic cooperation between Moscow, Pyongyang and Beijing were brewing against the background of the tightening of Washington's policy towards North Korea under the Biden administration, as well as NATO's military deployment in the Indo-Pacific region.

🔹 So, in 2021, the AUKUS bloc (USA, Britain and Australia) was created, which involves the assistance of Washington and London in the appearance of a nuclear submarine fleet in non-nuclear Australia.

🔹 The Quadripartite Security Dialogue QUAD (Australia, India, the USA and Japan) has already been branded as an anti-Chinese NATO; Canada has proposed the creation of a four-way cooperation structure involving South Korea, Japan, and the United States to counter Russia and China.

🔹 There are more and more persistent signals from Seoul and Tokyo that they are not averse to hosting American nuclear weapons or acquiring their own, which, again, would grossly violate the international non-proliferation regime.

In this regard, the visit to Pyongyang by high-ranking officials from Russia and China is as much moral support as it is a clear sign of the revival of the Russian-Chinese-North Korean coalition, designed to effectively counter the escalation of tension on the Korean Peninsula and in the Indo-Pacific region as a whole.

The participation of Russian Minister of Defence Sergey Shoigu in the celebrations in Pyongyang, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Korean people in the Patriotic Liberation War of 1950-1953, was a clear signal to Washington and Seoul about the transformation of Russian policy on the Korean Peninsula in favour of recognizing the DPRK as an important military-political partner, writes an independent analyst Vitaly Sovin.

⚠️ Military Watch:

Iran has announced an attack using the Fattah-2 hypersonic missile.

This missile has a range of 1,400 km. Its combination of speed and maneuverability makes intercepting the Fattah-2 nearly impossible.

Axios Reporter: Trump was aware of the South Pars attack but denied it after Iran’s retaliation

Barak Ravid: Contrary to Trump’s statements, senior Israeli and U.S. officials have stated that the United States had prior knowledge of the Israeli attack and had even consented to it as a means of putting pressure on Iran.

Now, following the Iranian retaliatory strikes against Qatari gas fields, Trump is shifting his position.
