Putin wants NK weapons which Kim wants a lot of money for and food aid plus technology.

When one is trading DORKS antiquated conventional weapons for Nuke tech, one is truely screwed.

Pot & kettle!
Two dictators!
Two who don't even care about their own population!

If you think our leaders actually care about us, you aren't paying attention.
The only reason our leaders have aligned against Kim and Putin is so that war games can be played. You can't play without an enemy, and if you don't play you don't profit selling war toys.
I have to admit though, we certainly have a better FACADE of democracy. Why, I can almost IMAGINE a voter ballot in my mailbox for the next war or drone strike.
One of these things is truly not like the other. Why make such a statement? To feel good launching a veiled insult? To muster some hope the war in Ukraine will end soon? (it won't). Artillery shells are not exactly high tech. And it seems to me that they work. And both sides in Ukraine are expending them at a collasal rate.
U.S. stores of all kinds of things are now depleted for sending them to Ukraine. Production is ramped up on all sides.
Now the anti-tank missiles I will have to look into, but one thing I am sure of is that they are not nuclear tipped.

Oh, I think there's more to it than just wanting to play "war games," whatever you mean by that.

Poor fence.

Two brutal dictators talk about who they should poop on next.

Signs your autocratic mafia state wasteland might be a failure:
A) You seek out closer ties with North Korea.
B) See item A

Exactly right. Profitable for him, and that's about it. The same with this dumb war Putin got his country into.

Well it is fitting that these two pariahs will be left with each other.

Thought bubbles:
Mini-me: Got bombs? Take Rubles?
Pork-face: Yes, plenty! Not on your life. Dollars or better yet, nuke and rocket tech that we haven't already stolen from you.

Quite right, Sergei. So, remind us again..... what the hell are you doing in Ukraine?
There are a few other 'old sayings' Sergei, Vlad and Kimmy-Boy might like to ponder:
Birds of a feather flock together.
They that sleep with dogs, shall rise with fleas.
A man is known by the company he keeps.
Show me your friends and I'll show you your future.
(That last one could be a bit ominous...)

Hunger, poverty, diseases, human trafficking, drug deals, forest fires, earthquakes, landslides, and floods are major issues of concern for world leaders in these challenging times.
TaiwanIsNotChina
And you think this dirty pair is discussing these things based on what?
Fighto!
Hunger - check. Starvation for millions more like it in NK.
poverty - check. Goes without saying.
human trafficking - check. Thousands over the decades from SK, Japan, the US and more.
drug deals - check. Heroin and meth are among the major sources of income for NK.
The Good Doctor - you've nailed it, Sir.

The above must please the anti-west warmongers no end seeing even closer ties between these two nations, in addition to the ties they already have with Iran and China.

Yes, that is what they teach you in journalism school. It improves your hirability and the trustability of your outlet.
