Politico: North Korea and Russia meet over arms deal, U.S. intel reveals  

The White House says Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un exchanged letters about working together. 

New U.S. intelligence shows North Korea and Russia are “actively advancing” high-level talks for additional weapons and other materials to assist Moscow’s brutal war in Ukraine, the Biden administration disclosed on Wednesday. 

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu recently traveled to North Korea to try to secure additional artillery ammunition, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters. Since that visit, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un have exchanged letters pledging to increase their cooperation.

So has Russia been buying shells from North Korea for the last year and a half, as was insisted by the same intelligence agencies (and their thralls on here) every single time the subject of Ukrainian ammo shortages was raised? We were told (wqitha straight face) that North Korea was smuggling millions of shells via literal camel caravan through 5 different countries (instead of the direct NK-Rus railway).

Or was that a lie and now the Russians have entered negotiations to do so for real, as is now insisted by the intel agencies?

Washington's propaganda relies on nobody having a memory longer than a week.
