sergei shoigu is now in pyongyang. i think there are two messages in this.monstrate its unity and solidarity with north korea and china ; second, russia wants to replenish its weapons through supplies and north korea . also, russia and north korea have a common weapon system for their weapons. to be exact , it can interact with each other, therefore, north korea has mechanisms support for russia in terms of weapons. but this is unlikely to be demonstrated at the official level in north korea is doing everything to resist the need and the european countries, since yana they are enemies of the import and export of weapons, shove right behind nato. well, a sensation, high-ranking american officers under oath confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life , the us congress passed hearings on ufos , two acting and one of the main officers of the us army were invited as witnesses, all forged legislative experience contact with aliens. so ex-ussr intelligence officer david crash told that the us government found 12 ufo crash sites and recovered them for the first
