This is good for the dprk, the US still runs massive mock invasions to force them to spend massively on their military, this plus the nukes makes them a lot less precarious, especially with dedollarization too.
Intended to tell the USA that South Korea is on the menu if they get involved in Ukraine I’d wager.
That said … I can’t imagine either NK or Russia wants to be at the find out stage of that statement.
That isn’t how defense treaties work.
Isn’t this the kind of issue that lead to WWI?

No one is going to attack North Korea and despite promising to do so every minute of every day for the last few decades North Korea isn’t going to attack anyone. Russia on the other hand is a typical warmongering western imperial power squabbling with the other warmongering western imperial powers like always, so they will be having wars to spare for as long as there is a Russian Federation. I guess NK trading a few million extra mouths to feed for whatever Russia can spare economically could benefit the leadership of both countries.
