North Korea and Russia Are Friends Now!

Doesn't it just warm you heart when two countries can get along?

It takes me back to my Peter, Paul and Mary days where chants could be heard all over the concert grounds, "Make love, not war!"  Wait...I as only 6 when Woodstock happened....so guess I must have just seen the video.

I smell a Peace Train coming!!  Russia and North Korea just announced that 2015 will be a "year of friendship."  How awesome and peaceful is that???

Ostracised by the international community, North Korea and Russia have declared 2015 a year of bilateral friendship that will be marked by a series of political, economic and cultural exchanges.

North Korean state media said this year marks the 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule and the "victory in the great Patriotic War in Russia".

Pyongyang's announcement is the latest indication of the close relationship that is developing between two leaders and nations that have been the target of international.

Both Russia and North Korea have been the target of United Nations sanctions, with the UN attempting to halt Russian involvement in fighting in the Ukraine. The UN also imposed restrictions on North Korea after it conducted a third underground nuclear test in February 2013, as well as a series of subsequent missile launches.

North Korea's record on human rights is also being discussed in the UN and it is possible that Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, could be cited in a case referred to the International Criminal Court.

The biggest cause for concern is the growing military alliance between Russia and North Korea, with the two regimes recently announcing plans to conduct a series of joint army, navy and air force exercises this year.

"So Putin...let me ask you a question..." says Mr. Kim

"Go ahead", nods Putin.

"If you have someone who disagrees with you in your own country...what you do?, asks Kim.

"Well, we either will have them killed or send them off to a little vacation home in Siberia...you know...on what we call a 'forever vacation."

"Oh good!" says Kim, "I think we are going to get along weally well!!  I'm just so happy to have a friend for 2015!"
