“Moscow is offering Kim Jong Un what it offered Milosevic”

Late last year, a Russian research centre that regularly cooperates with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other Russian institutions has made a proposal to revive political relations with the US, Sergei Lavrov and the Kremlin. Apart from advice to revive dialogue on Ukraine and start negotiations [...]
In addition to the advice to revive dialogue on Ukraine and start talks on mutual guarantees that there will be no hacker attacks, experts suggested that Russian leadership help Donald Trump in contact with North Korea, Russian journalist and political analyst Konstantin von Egert writes in his authorial text to the German newspaper “DW”.
He said the argument was simple: The president of the United States has repeatedly criticised from all sides, grateful for the support that enables a success in the international arena.
It's better to reduce tension on the Korean Peninsula is Russia's long-term national interest. Americans were the first to start a new Cold War. Since then, Donald Trump has made serious progress in negotiations with the North Korean regime. One thing is clear: The White House and the State Department have found a combination, which is to start calming Kim Jong Un to talk about the nuclear disarmament of his despotism”, writes von Egert.
He emphasises that Moscow has finally decided to come into play on the side of North Korea, and that is understandable, the “Vestine” reported, Periscopi broadcast.
After a meeting of Lavrov and Kim last week, it became clear that the Kremlin wants as much as possible to make the Trump deal with North Korea more difficult, in the best case, to eliminate the easy access of Washington and Ghanny. Lavrov briefed Putin in Putin's message and explained in detail what the main advice is: don't get unilateral concessions until Americans start lifting sanctions”, writes von Egert.
He notes that this is precisely contrary to Washington's line requiring practical evidence of disarmament, and only then can sanctions, humanitarian aid, investments and accession be annulled into the circle of civilized states of worthy trust.
“Unlike the menu to ceremonial receptions in the Kremlin, the Russian foreign policy menu is more unscriptural. Moscow actually damages the dictatorship of North Korea, the same plate that was once served by Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic or Viktor Yanukovic, and today Iranian mules and Bashar al-Assad. The dish is called “The regime's deployment will not pass! ” In most cases, Kremlin kitchen recipes were overturned by those who tried: Saddam was hanged, Milosevic died in The Hague, Janukovic (happyer of all) spent millions stolen in Moscow restaurants. Assad and Iranian theocracy are still in power”, said von Egert.
It should not be forgotten, however, that Russia, unlike the US, China, and South Korea, has very little influence in North Korea. Even less from Japan. Since this fact could not be neglected in the Kremlin, the Cold War 2 became Russian official policy. Keeping an unpredictable dictatorship with an atom bomb on eastern borders is not exactly in line with Russia's security interests. But it doesn't matter: Russian primacy has learned much to separate the interests of the state and society from itself”, it concluded von Egert./Periscopi/
