Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Sergey Radchenko: All’s fair in bromance and war
This undated picture released from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on May 1, 2015 shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un (L) attending a photo session with the participants of the fifth conference of the training officers of the Korean People's Party (KPA) at undisclosed place in North Korea.
Socker alert: North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un doesn't keep his word. After accepting Russian President Vladimir Putin's invitation to visit Moscow for the Victory Day parade on May 9, Kim abruptly cancelled his trip, supposedly because of "internal Korean affairs." It was embarrassing enough that Putin felt the need to invite Kim in the first place — many world leaders, including Barack Obama, David Cameron, and Angela Merkel, have declined to come because of Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine. But having Kim accept, and then cancel, is humiliating.
