In this week\u2019s episode of <\/span>The Korea Pro Podcast<\/span><\/i>, co-hosts Jeongmin and John delve into recent geopolitical developments affecting the Korean Peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n

The duo begins by examining the recent 2+2 vice-ministerial talks between South Korea and China, noting the unusual discrepancy in the timing and content of their respective press releases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, they analyze Russian leader Vladimir Putin\u2019s visit to North Korea and the signing of a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty. The hosts explore various interpretations of this agreement, from an automatic defense pact to a quasi-alliance, and how it reflects the discrepancies between U.S. and ROK perspectives on the Nuclear Consultative Group.<\/span><\/p>\n

John provides insights on how Putin\u2019s moves might be aimed at cornering South Korea, given its alignment with Western sanctions against Russia. The duo also considers the potential pressure this puts on China, given its complex relationships with Russia, North Korea and South Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The conversation then shifts to South Korea\u2019s efforts to diversify its arms exports, with recent developments in Poland and Romania. The hosts discuss how this expansion of South Korea\u2019s defense industry might influence regional dynamics and Putin\u2019s calculus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Jeongmin and John ponder the future of the U.S.-ROK-Japan trilateral partnership in light of the strengthening of Russia-DPRK ties. They raise questions about the partnership\u2019s sustainability beyond Yoon\u2019s presidency and in the event of potential changes in U.S. leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, the hosts touch on domestic politics, discussing the judicial risks facing the main opposition Democratic Party leader and the potential implications for the party\u2019s future if Lee Jae-myung is forced to step down.<\/span><\/p>\n
