    Actually, does not sound like a bad thing.

    Why?

    1. Lots of opportunities to interrupt the supply chain. There is a LONG distance between NK, and Ukraine. Be a shame if a train full of explosives were to blow up in the middle of nowhere, russia… disrupting the supply lines between Russia and China/NK.
    2. North korea selling/giving away ammo, doesn’t sound like a bad thing either.
    3. Most of Russia’s stuff, is defunct due to age/lack of maintenance. NK’s stuff, is far worse.
