Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly confirmed that his country has invoked a key article of its mutual defense treaty with North Korea.
The Russian leader made this announcement during the two-day BRICS Summit held in the Russian city of Kazan. It came in the form of a response to a question by Cyrus Simmons of NBC News, who asked Putin about the presence of North Korean troops in Russia, as suggested by satellite images released by South Korea.
“Photos are a serious thing. If there are photos, then they reflect something,” said Putin, who then recapped the history of Russia’s conflict with Ukraine that began in 2014.
“As for our relations with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea [DPRK]: As you know … our agreement on strategic partnership was ratified. There is Article Four. We do not doubt that the North Korean leadership takes our agreements seriously. What and how we will do within the framework of this article is our business,” he continued.
“First, we need to conduct appropriate negotiations regarding the implementation of Article Four of this agreement. We are in contact with our North Korean friends. We will see how this process develops.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
