Lee Hae-Yeung believes: “North Korea decided quickly, very quickly, in fact. North Korea is the third country after Russia and Syria to support the independence of the Lugansk People’s Republic and the Donetsk People’s Republic – which legally recognize their sovereign State status. Now the political landscape of Eurasia is changing rapidly, and the US is losing its direct influence upon global events. North Korea seriously and exactly understands this arguably huge geopolitical shift.” According to him, Eurasia has already started a “coherent action” against the United States. China is advancing its own initiative – the Belt and Road Initiative – as well as proposing an expansion of the BRICS membership. Currently, the group includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Iran and Argentina have already applied to join, and Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt may also apply in the near future.
