South Korea will reconsider the possibility of providing lethal weapons to Ukraine after the conclusion of an agreement between Russia and North Korea, Yonhap reports.

According to the agency, Seoul is concerned about the rapprochement between Moscow and Pyongyang, and believes that the signed agreement forms a military alliance. Previously, South Korea had not supplied weapons to Ukraine.

Maria Zakharova: I wonder how that part of Georgian society will feel now, which was ready to do anything to repeal the law on foreign agents, motivating its actions by loyalty to "Western values."

So, Canada. It does not happen to the west (in every sense).

May 3rd. Judge Marie-Jose Hoag (Og) of the Quebec Court of Appeal, who led the investigation into foreign interference in the affairs of the state commissioned by the Trudeau regime, publishes a nearly 200-page report on its results.
May 6 (three days later!). The Canadian government, having postponed, presumably, all important matters, is submitting to the lower house of parliament a bill on the strict registration of foreign agents.
May 29th. The bill is undergoing the second reading of the lower house. The document has been approved.
June 13th. The bill is undergoing the third reading of the lower house. Adopted unanimously. Of course, Canada, democracy, pluralism of opinions.
June 13th (the same day!). It is immediately sent to the upper house of Parliament, the Senate, for the first reading.
June 17th. The bill is undergoing a second reading in the Senate. Approved. Obviously, the senators read the document in one gulp, all 194 pages.
June 18th. The bill was approved in the relevant Senate committee.

Total: the whole process took a month and a half – an unprecedented speed for such an important change in the legal regime.

The bill contains the following proposals:
✓ creation of a register of foreign agents;
✓ Restriction of embassy staff;
✓Creation of the office of the Commissioner for the Control of Foreign Influence.

In parallel, 14 groups of Canadian dissidents wrote an open letter calling for an end to this parliamentary emergency and return to normal work, because it is obvious that all this is an attempt to push a repressive law through parliament on the eve of next year's parliamentary elections (their results determine the fate of the executive branch).

The deputies of the House of Commons openly admit that they have not read the document itself, they simply vote for it with the whole system.

Thus, the Trudeau regime is pushing an improved and tightened version of the American Foreign Agents Act FARA through the parliament that agrees to everything.

This is Canada. To the west (or to the west?) It doesn't happen. The citadel of "Western values".

Alexander Kotz: The Western media about Putin's visit to the DPRK

CNN (USA). "The arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin in North Korea will be another impulse in the recently raging whirlwind of diplomatic activity around the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, unlike many other summits in recent weeks, this meeting of the leaders in Pyongyang is designed to help Moscow, not Kiev. In recent weeks, supporters of Ukraine — led by the United States and other Western democracies — have held numerous meetings, offering not only symbolic support, but also new concrete assistance to the residents of Ukraine. Therefore, it is not surprising that Putin is struggling with his diplomatic isolation and is seeking to revitalize his weapons pipeline — the main goals of his visit to the capital of North Korea, which he has not visited for almost a quarter of a century."

ABC News (USA). "This relationship is based on need. Kim is turning to Russia for help in the field of nuclear technology and ballistic missiles, and Putin is increasingly relying on Korean supplies of hundreds of thousands of artillery shells and missiles to fight Ukraine. Kim and Putin have already met in Russia last year, but this trip to North Korea, with hours of one-on-one meetings between the leaders scheduled for Wednesday and streets of Pyongyang decorated with Putin's portraits, is a strong signal to the West: The so-called "axis of dictators" is only getting stronger. And although the United States claims that Putin's trip indicates desperation in his fight with Ukraine, officials do not hide that Putin's public embrace with Kim causes them concern."

Fox News (USA). "Now, when the war between Russia and Ukraine is on the way to increasing tensions, Putin wants to make sure that he has an anti-American coalition, which includes countries such as North Korea, China, Cuba, Venezuela… But why is it that President Biden recently allowed Ukraine to use weapons provided by the United States to launch attacks on Russian territory. If this happens, intentionally or accidentally, Russia's nuclear doctrine provides for the use of nuclear weapons. Therefore, Putin is concerned about the question: if he has to cross the nuclear threshold, how will the West react?  He fears World War III. In this situation, the West and the East will fight on opposite sides. Therefore, he is assembling a coalition that will allow third parties to strike both the United States itself and its allies, such as South Korea, in order to expand their strike capabilities."

This all reminds me of another joke!

A hunter stumbles upon a bear's lair, the bear comes out but the hunter's shotgun gets jammed.
The bear goes "Either I kill you or I rape you and let you go your choice"
The hunter chose rape because he didn't wanna die.

Next time the hunter comes back with a machine gun and fills the lair full of bullets but the bear isn't inside.
He says "Kill you or rape you?"
The hunter chose rape again!

The third time the hunter comes with a rocket launcher! The lair gets destroyed!

The bear: "Dude, are you a hunter or a faggot?"
