North Korean-Russian House of Friendship

Sorry true Russians, I don't mean to make your country the scapegoat, but believe me, it's not the hearty wonderful people of Russia that I'm talking about.  It's your leaders, the Kremlin gang.

The Kremlin hacked the Olympics in South Korea using North Korean I.P. addresses.

Does this Olympic fail give affirmation that it was Kremlin hackers pretending to be North Korea that were responsible for the Sony hack?
Was the Sony hack the inspiration or the first step to test the waters for the 2016 election hack?

Today, I learn from this NYT article that according to the UN, North Korea has been supplying Syria with elements used for chemical weapons.  Although, North Korea and Syria have had a relationship since the 60's, which I didn't know--interesting and odd, I do wonder if there is a Kremlin connection in this recent exchange.  The Kremlin has taken an interest, albeit a lead, in the Syrian war.  How the hell does a poor, hermit nation like NK supply these things to war torn Syria?  Who is bankrolling North Korea?

Kremlin has provided aid North Korea, they forgave 90% of the debt NK owed to Krems, they have set up a ferry system just in the last year, they are not helping with the US sanctions against North Korea.  Red alert: the sanctions should be against the Kremlin, not North Korea.
North Korea owes Russia.

Kremlin is a big brother to North Korea, Kremlin is calling the shots.  Vladimir Putin is causing chaos so that he can remain in power.  His greed is full, but his vision is empty.  He has nothing to offer to the world but pain.  Putin is not a good steward of this planet.  Putin is a scourge.

Their's is a weird back and forth, hot and cold relationship according to Wikipedia:

On December 2013 Russia joined the sanctions against North Korea, introduced in March by the U.N Security Council(Resolution 2087). The corresponding decree signed by President Putin specified that Russian companies were prohibited to provide North Korea any technical assistance and advice in the development and production of ballistic missiles. In addition, North Korean naval vessels to call at Russian ports would be required to undergo inspection. Also, the authorities ordered to be vigilant when dealing with North Korean diplomats.^[22][23]

In May 2014 Russia and North Korea have agreed to settlements in rubles in all trade between the two countries.^[24] The first transactions in rubles between Russia and North Korea were carried out in October 2014.^[25]

In March 2015, a Russian official said Moscow and Pyongyang have agreed to discuss the creation of advanced development zones in Russia’s Far East and North Korea.^[26]

In May 2016 the Central Bank of Russia ordered all Russian banks to halt financial dealings with North Korean agencies, organizations and individuals on the U.N Security Council sanctions list. The move was in line with the United Nations Security Council resolution adopted in early March to penalize North Korea for its fourth nuclear test and long-range missile launch and curb its weapons of mass destruction program.

A few odd facts on North Korea gleened from this blog by Marcelo Guadiana. I double checked them against other well known reputable news sources and these appear to be legit.

1. The giant rabbit feeding program. Kim Jong-il showed interest in breeding giant overweight rabbits in 2007. He got this idea after seeing Karl Szmolinsky, a German rabbit breeder, breed the world’s largest rabbit. Szmolinsky sent overweight rabbits to North Korea but the experiment turned out to be a failure when it was suspected that lil' Kim was eating them for himself.
2. Human feces government program. Farming fertilizers used to be imported from South Korea. However, South Korea stopped sending them in 2008. The government, therefore, created a program where farmers had to use their own fecesas fertilizers. Factory workers have to meet a quota of two tons of human feces.
3. Military programs use most of the funds. North Korea spends a lot of its funds on the military. In 2001, the country spent more than $5 billion on military spending alone, which is more than 30 percent of the country’s GDP. North Korea is believed to have around half a dozen nuclear weapons.
4. Despite high poverty rates, the leader is worth $5 billion. According to the 2011 corruption index from Transparency International, North Korea is officially the world’s most corrupt country. It is estimated that Kim inherited $4 billion from his father. According to a South Korean news organization, he is worth as much $5 billion. The money is held in secret accounts in European banks and comes from counterfeiting, the sales of narcotics and other illegal endeavors. Kim also spends vast amounts of money on luxury goods. It is reported he spent $645.8 million in 2012.
5. Crystal meth epidemic. North Korea suffers a widespread meth epidemic. To negate the horrid economy with little to no government help, the production of drugs is used as an economic stimulus. In 2000, North Korean factories began to produce methamphetamine. This caused an increase in the domestic use of meth. The drug is now very occurrence and is seen as something of a luxury. As a result, many North Koreans have become addicted to the drug. It is estimated that 80 percent of residents have used the drug while 40 percent are addicted.

Sochi and Olympics in general:  Do they have anything to do with anything?  Is there a FIFA-esque corruption element here?

And now the miraculous Kim Jung un and Donald John Trump meeting in May.  Political theater brought to you by Trump, Putin and the complicit GOP.  Where is that picture I took at the doctor's office lobby of lil' big Kim on the cover Time magazine with a half eaten Twinkie laying on top of it?
