Never let it be said that the Russians have a single-minded focus of screwing us over in the Middle East by aiding and arming thug regimes like Syria and Iran.
Oh, no! It's an evil pivot. The Russians would like to prop up North Korea, too:
Russia re-opened a railway link with North Korea on Sunday, holding out the prospect of increased trade for the reclusive nation with its biggest neighbors after years of international sanctions.
Impoverished and squeezed by sanctions for conducting a series of nuclear and missile tests, North Korea has reached out to Moscow and Beijing for help to fill the gap left by the drying up of South Korean and U.S. economic assistance.
That's great. Much more of this and when Putin reminds us of our past alliance against Nazi Germany, we'll regret not reversing the order of our victories and letting Hitler smash the USSR first and then waging a Cold War against Nazi Germany second.
