What does russia’s statement about possible transfer of nuclear weapons to North Korea mean?
russian propaganda is actively spreading a statement by kremlin spokesman dmitry peskov that russia may “revise its post-soviet policy” towards North Korea concerning the transfer of missile engineering and nuclear technology.
▫️ This statement represents a new tactic in russian nuclear blackmail. Instead of threatening to use these weapons, moscow now threatens to transfer them to states hostile to the West. Russia is also exploiting the sensitive issue for Americans of the nuclear threat from North Korea. The aim of this propaganda campaign is to undermine efforts by Ukraine’s partners to provide political and military support to Ukraine.
In fact, the Western community has already recognized that russia’s threats are just a bluff, so their blackmail no longer works. By involving North Korea in its propaganda game against the West, russia is intentionally positioning itself among the world’s nuclear terrorists and rogue states on the geopolitical chessboard.
