18 September 2022 at 07:29. North Korea is not part of any trade alliance that China leads with Russia, such as BRICS or SCO, because China knows that formally distancing China from North Korea will allow China to lead many countries without the Bad Boy, North Korea. Thus, wrongly, it may seem that North Korea is an outsider player, a less important one because we rarely read about North Korea in relation to collaboration with East countries. However, North Korea is a strategic loyal ally of China that de-facto yet informally belongs to the Russia-China coalition. Importantly, North Korea has sophisticated and strong military capabilities, so North Korea is an important strategic military ally in the Russia-China coalition, yet informally and quietly, and even secretly. My prediction is that in the case of WWIII, we will have at least 3 fronts of battle: The European line between the West-East, the Middle-East, and the Pacific Ocean. Hence, the USA should be concerned about the role of North Korea in the Russia-China coalition, especially in the case of WWIII, because of the location of North Korea and its long-missile capabilities.
