Als dit klopt dan is de militaire samenwerking van de Europese Unie
en de Verenigde Staten met Kiev wat voorbarig. De dreiging uit
Pyongyang is reden voor zware militaire reacties en legitimatie voor bewapeningsprogramma's in de Westerse wereld. Dat gaat
zelfs zover dat over vergelding met kernwapens wordt gesproken. Nu
blijkt de dreiging versterkt te worden door een land waar de Minister
van Defensie van de VS James Norman Mattis deze week op bezoek zal gaan en waarmee de
Europese Unie een verdrag heeft gesloten. Kiev ontkent de berichten
en de NYT hult zich verder in stilzwijgen.
Verder viel op het gebruik van Israëlische drones die door
Azerbeidzjan werden getest op Armeniërs.
