Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un write to each other vowing to unite pariah nations against the ‘hostile’ West

VLADIMIR Putin has written to North Korean tyrant Kim Jong-Un forming a pact to unite the pariah nations against the “hostile” West. The concerning kinship has stoked fear among security agencies who fear their alliance could result in disastrous consequences. AP:Associated PressThe Russian President reached out to Kim Jong-Un to cement their solidarity[/caption] War-hungry Putin penned a letter suggesting the pair work to “expand the comprehensive and constructive bilateral relations with common efforts”. He also assured the Supreme Leader it would help “strengthen the security and stability of the Korean peninsula” to win him over. Kim recently took swipe at the new government in Korea’s southern counterpart, warning he could “annihilate” President Yoon Suk Yeol. The warped despot welcomed the extension of friendship from Putin, noting that the bond between their countries had been formed in the Second World War with victory over Japan.

Kim said they were bound in their battle with “hostile military forces” – a phrase commonly used to refer to the US and its Western allies. Putin’s scarlet letter arrived in Pyongyang on North Korea’s liberation day, according to state media outlet KCNA.

Ukraine cut off all diplomatic ties with Pyongyang in response. It was even claimed the Russian President was taking a leaf out of Kim’s book and intended to split Ukraine in half like North and South Korea. And similarly to Putin, Kim is not shy about discussing his stockpile of nuclear weapons to taunt his foes. The pair struck up a bizarre union after their first meeting in 2019, well aware that it would fluster Western leaders. They have remained public pals over the years and even engaged in similar publicity stunts – such as both riding on horseback to promote a parallel hardman image. Putin even awarded Kim a top war medal to mark the 75th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in 2020. Western officials are all too aware of the formidable duo they could form as the globe teeters on the brink of World War 3.
