Putin’s trip to North Korea, Vietnam weakens U.S. imperialism

Russian President Vladimir Putin received a warm welcome when he visited the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on June 19 to meet with Kim Jong Un, who is general secretary of the Workers Party and DPRK president. Workers and soldiers of all ages greeted the Russian president with music and colo

Prior to the recent trips to DPRK and [the Socialist Republic of] Vietnam, Putin conducted a two-day visit in [the People’s Republic of] China in late May. In addition to meeting with [President] Xí Jìnpíng, Putin also met with students at the Harbin Institute of Technology, known for its defense research and its work with the People’s Liberation Army.

Unlike [the People’s Republic of] China, the DPRK and [the Socialist Republic of] Vietnam, Russia is not a [people’s republic], and therefore, it does not have a centrally planned economy spearheaded by a pro-working class political party. Russia has been a capitalist country since the counterrevolution in the former Soviet Union in 1991.

U.S. foreign policy since 1992 has explicitly planned U.S. economic and military hegemony in all world regions, which meant planning to weaken and divide Russia so that it could never compete as a rival capitalist power. This included expanding the U.S.-commanded NATO up to the Russian border, conflicts with Russian allies in West Asia and the overthrow of a government in Ukraine in 2014 that was friendly to Moscow.

Putin’s recent trip shows that Russian diplomacy is successfully countering U.S. [neo]imperialism’s aggressive policies.

    Why? IDK coz simple folks can’t leave it

    Thank the UN for that. However, there are plenty of DPRK citizens in Russia and China.

    can’t freely speak like someone owns them

    Please use a source other than fucking defectors who are known for being pathological liars.

    I also find overly subsidized EV production and attempts to flood market

    Tfw producing EVs and selling them (free-market) is now abusive. Commies really beat the capitalists at their own game lmfao. When gomunism no innovation you all laugh. When gomunism brings innovation and tries to compete with the capitalists in their own game, it’s suddenly flooding markets.

    I also find

    You don’t find anything, for you don’t even have a clear opinion on anything. You’re the classical liberal that will believe anything Western media tells them and call out anyone who actually thinks critically as a Russian troll.
