The actions of the leader of North Korea, provoking the world through more and more missile tests, resemble the aggressive actions of the Russian president; Their goal is to attract world attention to the problems of their countries and extort economic assistance.

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian opposition politician Konstantin Borovoi.

"I think that the situation is very similar to the Russian. It is certainly interesting for North Korea to conduct tests, but the main content of these tests is not only the development of missiles. The main thing is provocations, as a result of which the world starts to think how to solve this problem, begins to pay attention to the problems of North Korea itself. And the problems are simple - an idle economy, starving people, "he said..

Figuratively speaking, he called this tactic the extortion of "bags of rice" - "everything, as in Russia". "No Donald Trump, no Merkel can make the Russian economy work, limit corruption or restrict reprisals against entrepreneurs - this can be done by Putin himself, but to blackmail the rest of the world so that he does not interfere with solving these internal problems, Putin continues. The same - and Kim Jong Eun. Sacks of rice, and more, "- said the politician.

"When bags of rice run out, we need new. And there is a new reason for provocations, "he stated..

According to Borovoy, the provocation of the KRND will not lead to a third world war - first of all, because "North Korea in the UN Security Council today is supported only by Russia, and that is not very tough, because China has a great influence on it".

At the same time Borovoy remarked: "This is dangerous, because the tension there is certainly growing". "People are just dying of hunger. Mobilization propaganda works, but in some cases it acts weakly - it's very difficult to be a patriot on an empty stomach, "he admitted..

As the "Observer" wrote, on May 29 North Korea carried out another test run of the ballistic missile, which became the third in the last two weeks.
