    As viewers of Perun Will know, North Korea has one of the largest stockpiles of artillery shells in the world. Russia uses artillery at a prodigious rate, and can’t keep up with its usage.

    So Russia gets the older stockpile of artillery shells, which we knew they’re going to get, the worrisome thing is what is North Korea going to get from the deal?

      If they were smart, food and fuel.

      Since they’re NK, probably personal enrichment for Kim, and maybe some cold war era nukes.

        Money sure. Probably access to energy reserves, maybe even a pipeline for natural gas to North Korea. But more likely military technology

        Which currency?

        Rubles are pretty useless at the moment, and for the foreseeable future.
