But I have an objection about the last paragraph you said North Korea should devote more resources to her economy than her military,what makes you think she hasn't been doing that,here is a YouTube channel Link that shows the amazing transformation happening in North Korea but lots of people don't know about it because there hardly mention of them on MSM or youtube channels that isn't bashing North Korea.trust me things are hardly as bad you think in north korea she is rapidly and quietly developing with dignity https://m.youtube.com/@DefendKorea/videos
Very interesting discussion - one point that everyone should remember with regard to Russia and China's support for sanctions is that both countries are in agreement with the US and its allies in the region, ROK and Japan, on the most important and fundamental issue: all countries are opposed to the nuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula - this has NOT changed.
Of course, the rub lies in their attitudes to the sanctions, the nature of those sanctions and how the DPRK can be persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons. Russia and China have always favoured encouragement by means of the promises of economic benefits and security guarantees - the latter can only come from a complete change in the US' approach to the DPRK.
It's pretty obvious that this is not going to happen - the growing confrontation between the US and China precludes this: to give you a cue as to why, the Korean Peninsula is about 40 minutes from Beijing in a fast jet and the US has 28,000 troops stationed permanently in the ROK (a lot more are sent there every year for the joint ROK-US military 'exercises) and about 50,000 troops in Japan. The only logical reason to station these forces in the ROK and Japan is the 'North Korean threat'.
In short, the US does not want peace to break out any time soon in Korea.
The reasoning for troops in Korea dates to the late 1940s at the beginning of the Anti-Communist Crusade and is detailed in Dean Acheson's book, "Present at the Beginning." Given today's definitions, he'd be called a Neocon.
Nice job 👏

Yes, it does appear to be as you say, which was my impression when I reported on Putin's recent visit, which you may want to peruse.

It was a serious mistake that the sanctions can only be suspended by a consensus in the Security Council.
Yes, that's something reform must alter.
The dogs bark (US-NATO), but the caravan does not stop (BRICS).
