Ironic these two vassals of Washington would air their thought bubbles at a meeting of the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel run by and for the Atlanticists.

When told to jump, they say 'how high?'.

Russia lost 20 million dead to Germany in WW2 .

NK had more bomb tonnage dropped on it than the whole US Pacific campaign , in the Korean war.

Both countries understandably hesitant to accept US and Euro "patronage "

Their shared concerns make perfect sense. Two aggressive autocratic states nearby would make any sensible nation seek like minded countries in the area, to seek safety and protection in numbers.

It seems only the very naive do not recognize the evil in the leaders of Russia (invading one neighbor already to gain new territory), and North Korea persuing nuclear weapons to destroy South Korea, Japan and America.

This current horrific behaviour of Russia and NK, forces those nearest to them to take precautions like creating alliances for their collective defense. Understandable response.

Xi jinping should have been joining the meeting or next one for sure.

The Russians, North Koreans doesn't cares them at all, these vassals has no stance but appeasing their Washington master. And of course, China doesn't cares them at all !

No.

South Korea won’t side with a dictatorial regime.

Japan and South Korea (governments) have a growing vested interest in cooperation to keep China off their respective backs.
