Redstreak 6,653 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Officials in Moscow confirmed Friday that North Korean despot Kim Jong Un may attend ceremonies next year commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II. It would be Kim's first public foreign visit since coming to power in December 2011. "Yes, such an invitation was sent," confirmed Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, speaking to Reuters. The news comes at a particularly conspicuous moment. On Friday, U.S. federal investigators accused North Korea of being behind the hacking attacking on Sony Pictures Entertainment. An escalation of cyber threats has compelled Sony to cancel the release of "The Interview," a controversial comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco that depicts the two being sent on a mission to assassinate Kim. The film's plot riled Pyongyang  and, leaked e-mails revealed, Sony executives  and instigated one of the strangest geopolitical spats of the year, with many in the United States reacting angrily to Sony's acquiescence in the face of North Korean "terror." Meanwhile, Putin has also been in the spotlight. On Thursday, he held a defiant three-hour-long year-end news conference, where he inveighed upon the "external" forces that had conspired to undermine Russia's economy. Sanctions imposed by the West, a slide in oil prices and a free-falling ruble have all made the end of 2014 a gloomy time for the Russian president. But his invitation to Kim is not just meant as a rebuke of the U.S. and its allies. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union helped prop up the totalitarian regime in Pyongyang. Now, Russia needs North Korean cooperation in its bid to build a pipeline that would boost gas exports to South Korea, Reuters reports. As is often the case in Moscow, energy policy usually outweighs other imperatives. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/12/19/vladimir-putin-just-invited-kim-jong-un-to-visit-russia-really/ We best get ready America.

Ayo 300 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 plans for WW3 i suppose.. I have to say many peope underestimate North Korea, It does produce some of the BEST ( I mean it) programmers in the world and they are forced to work for their government... Even though the common people may not lead a very developed lifestyle, NK spends a lot in technological advancement for their military. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMROD 117,522 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Truth is North Korea is dirt poor. And Russia will make them their puppets for their own advantage. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ ˢᵖᵉᵉᵈ ᵃⁿᵈ ʷᵉⁱᵍʰᵗ (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,776 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nothing important. I actually think it's good for North Korea to visit other countries more often. They should also imo have more trade with other countries, which would result in better living conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
