Red carpet treatment: What's at stake in Putin's state visit to North Korea? • FRANCE 24 English

You know you've got a reclusive regime when an outside world hungry for clues salivates at the prospect of a visit by Vladimir Putin. Putin is on his first visit to North Korea in 24 years. We ask our panel what they’ve parsed from reviews of honour guards, official communiqués and hagiographic state media coverage. More broadly, do these images project strength or weakness?
#Russia #North Korea #Putin

So does EU unite together otherwise they wouldn’t be nothing!!! Double standards never ends

[Shimra]

If the USA and EU can give unconditional support to Ukraine and Israel … why can’t China support Russia and Iran? If South Korea can sell weapons to NATO, why can’t North Korea sell weapons to Russia? Please someone explain.

What is the problem of Western countries including US ideology about another nations. Why is that NATO & US getting diarrhea all the time when China, Russisa, North Kkorea and Iran and others doing progress in their technology and economy and military ? Envy of the western countries and hypocrisy

[connectingthedots]

They say Putin is losing but they can’t sleep without the name Putin in their heads.

[gmucuiy]

[thalentekhuluse]

It not a debate if there is only one side narrative... Same with the useless peace summit.

[thewestiswasted]

This visit has sparked so much jealousy 😂

[greysondavid]

The reality is that china make a very strong allies.china will never abandon russia as well as north korea. You should discus the reality not propaganding the issue.

[brightonmwenebatudjuma]

When the US is working with her allies to counter Russia that's okay, but when Russia is working with her allies to counter the USA, Russia is desparate😂😂😂

North Korea will buy cheaper gas, oil, food, technologies, etc from Russia, and this will help North Korea be stronger. Meanwhile, western countries in Europe enjoy buying more expensive goods from the U.S and other major countries 😁

Parallel universes: the double standard, bullying west vs the rest.

[yqwcwxk]

No country cant stand alone not even US or Britain can't. So Russia N Korea cant stand alone. But why is Russia visit to friendly country worries the west?

[ehqbmkp]

Thanks to NATO expansion, North Korea will be stronger than before 😁

[koordrozita]

The same people were calling Soviet as pariah and Hitler was calling them names such as farmers but Hitler was defeated by Russian farmers and their allies and west pretended as if they really fought Germans. Penh !

[hourbee]

This clearly shows the position of strength Russia/Putin are in.

[SanjayKumar-eisn]

Narratives of US and NaTo is laughable 😂

[koordrozita]

So called Ukraine summit in Switzerland doesn’t attract people as Putin’s visit.

[timothykatende]

If two Countries that are considered pariah can attract all this media attention...are they really pariah?

[Xatiko]

These are clowns who know nothing about these countries.

[HelaneMarie]

Meanwhile, Zelensky still thinks he can win, and Biden can't even make it up a flight of stairs lol
