  1. It surprises me why some Ukrainians are unable to understand Russian MO, especially since many Ukrainians were part of Imperial Russian expansion and because Ukrainians were influential members of Soviet leadership during the Cold War. Japan, South Korea, and China all interpreted the Russian move in North Korea primarily as a warning/message to China. Russians don't need anything from North Korea, but they need constant supply of electronics, semiconductors, spare parts, drones, and sales of natural resources from China. By visiting North Korea and "promoting" friendly relations, Russia is actually negotiating with China. It's not a secret that China absolutely hates Russia getting politically, economically, and militarily closer to North Korea. Russians are also sending a message to the US, by inferring that if the US doesn't back-down from Ukraine, Russia will continue to escalate tension on the Korean peninsula by assisting DPRK in its missile and nuclear projects. Russia is equally sending a message to South Korea to limit future weapon sales to NATO/European countries by "re-igniting" the frozen Korean conflict. Indirectly, Russian actions also pushes Japan to focus less on Ukraine and more on North Korea. Russians are playing diplomatic chess, as usual. They're looking for conflicts they can escalate and manipulate in order to divert attention and resources from Ukraine. First it was Gaza, now they're attempting to do the same in the Korea peninsula. Instead of mocking Russia for everything, perhaps you should see the world through the eyes of Russian strategists. They're certainly not stupid, and they don't do anything without a clear objective.
