North Korea, Russia sign pact to give all available military help if other is attacked

Source: Reuters

SEOUL, June 20 (Reuters) - North Korea and Russia agreed to provide immediate military assistance if either faced armed aggression, under a pact their leaders signed during Russian President Vladimir Putin's first visit in 24 years.

The pledge is seen as the revival of a mutual defence agreement under a 1961 treaty adopted by the Cold War allies that was annulled in 1990 when the Soviet Union established diplomatic ties with South Korea.

The agreement for a "comprehensive strategic partnership" signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday is one of the highest-profile moves in Asia by Moscow in years.

"If either side faces an armed invasion and is in a state of war, the other side will immediately use all available means to provide military and other assistance in accordance with Article 51 of the U.N. Charter and the laws of each country," Article 4 of the agreement says.

June 24: Strike, Buy Nothing, Wear Red

https://action.womensmarch.com/events/women-s-strike-2024]

This link has the basics; it is a virtual strike as much as an event taking place in many locations around the US, in support of Reproductive Rights. Check around on Facebook and other platforms to see if there’s something going on near you.

But the main thing is to demonstrate in such a large numbers that everyone takes notice. They can’t take our contributions for granted and they can’t keep stomping all over our rights. If you can’t take off from work, at least don’t buy anything — don’t play into the economy in any way for an entire day.

It’s on youtube now for free viewing. Well worth the time and psychic stress it requires to watch. I feel like I understand just a little more about the last 50 years than I did before.

Apologies if this has circulated before, but it was new to me.
