North Korea shocks the world and closes a billion-dollar deal with Russia to send troops, receive 700 tons of rice, R$1,1 billion in annual salaries and space technology

North Korea has struck a historic, multi-billion dollar deal with Russia, cementing a strategic and high-value alliance. With promises of $200 million in annual salaries, access to advanced technology, and nothing less than 700 thousand tons of rice To feed its population, the country seeks solid support in times of crisis. This pact highlights a military alignment that can directly influence the security scenario on the Korean Peninsula.

The deal involves a wide-ranging package of benefits, including the sending of North Korean soldiers to Ukraine, as pointed out by rSouth Korean intelligence reports. According to this information, thousands of soldiers have already been deployed to support Russia, and new contingents are expected to join the conflict by the end of the year.

This strategic pact reflects Pyongyang's expectation of receiving Russian military support in an eventual escalation on the Korean Peninsula, justifying the movement of its troops, and strengthens military relations between the two countries and changes the geopolitical game at a crucial moment, and the consequences could be profound for the balance of forces in the region and beyond.

Soldiers received R$2 monthly salary

Furthermore, the terms of the agreement also benefit North Korea's economy. With each soldier receiving around $2 per month, the contingent of 10 soldiers generates an annual revenue of over $200 million.

This financial contribution is significant, especially considering the economic and food difficulties faced by Pyongyang. The North Korean soldiers sent receive an incentive that represents a direct boost to Kim Jong-un's regime.

4 workers are in Russia, with monthly salaries of $800 to contribute to the country's economy

The North Korean workforce also contributes to the country's economy. Currently, about 4 workers are in Russia, earning a monthly salary of $800. This contingent plays an important role in supplementing the income of the troops and helping to alleviate the financial and food crisis in North Korea.

This financial reinforcement has proven vital to maintaining the North Korean regime in challenging times.

The pact includes a commitment to produce 700 tons of rice annually, which meets more than half of North Korea's food needs.

Another important component of the pact includes a commitment to supply 700 tons of rice annually, which supplies more than half of North Koreaโ€™s food needs. South Korean authorities estimate that while the country produces about 4 million tons of grain, most of that is potatoes, not rice, the main staple of the North Korean diet. This external supply is therefore essential to meeting local shortages.

This food aid eases Pyongyangโ€™s reliance on emergency aid. In previous crises, Russia has provided between 50 and 100 tons of rice, but the current volume is substantially higher. The delivery strengthens food security, reducing the risk of instability and promoting regime continuity.

North Korea-Russia deal goes beyond food: it includes space technology and military support, increasing North Korean power and changing the geopolitical balance

In addition to food, the agreement includes space technology, which is essential for North Korea's plans to advance the development of military reconnaissance satellites. Information from the South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS) indicates that this technological cooperation is one of the most advantageous elements for Kim Jong-un's regime. This assistance increases North Korea's military potential and positions the country as an increasingly significant force in the region.

Another advantage for North Korea is the possibility of direct military support from Russia in the event of a conflict on the Korean Peninsula. By sending troops to support Moscow, the regime hopes to ensure reciprocity in a defense scenario, strengthening the military alliance. Experts point out that the strengthening of this relationship between Russia and North Korea offers Moscow new negotiating leverage in its relations with the United States.

With North Koreaโ€™s support, Russia can strengthen its global position, just as China has done by using its alliances with Pyongyang as a tool of diplomatic pressure. This strategy demonstrates the lasting impact of this alliance, the implications of which could extend far beyond the conflict in Ukraine.

Communism can only be sustained with other people's money, because it is unsustainable on its own.
I doubt that this money will reach the soldiers, the North Korean government will pocket most of it, just like the communist government did with Cuban doctors in Brazil who earned 12k and only kept 3k.

North Korea is never Communist, it never was, it is **** weird and strange, just like the one that many so-called politicians and evangelical pastors and many followers of Bolsonarism want to implement in Brazil, that is, only their party, only their customs, only what they think is correct and persecution of religions and groups that they believe will not agree with their โ€œcorrectโ€ way of living.

He wrote nonsense, always the same story.
The tax is taken from everyone, there are no exceptions.
Now that it's a mess, it's not just taxes and taxation either.
Large companies and firms are leaving.
Open your eyes and see.
Chinese slave labor companies are coming, open your eyes and see.
Don't be a jerk.

Analyze without head or tail because you don't know the program or have experienced the reality of the time; you need to put ideology aside before giving a sincere opinion.
