America eye on Russia-North Korea’s alliance
America is closely monitored by Russia and North Korea’s alliances. The reason for this is the secret military agreement between Russia and North Korea. As part of a similar agreement, the US claimed to fight the war on behalf of North Korea about 1 year ago. However, North Korea termed the claim as misleading. According to Moscow Times, the Russian Foreign Ministry posted a video sharing information on the Telegram channel, in which Lavarov and Kim Jong-un are seen shaking and hugging. This meeting is an indication that diplomatic and military relations between the two countries are rapidly deepening.
