Is it just me or is it that while china is 'allied ' to North Korea, that's it has friendlier relations with South Korea and its allies? Same with Russia?

And another question, if you can be allied with one nation, and on friendlier terms with its enemies, then which is more valuable for a nation: to have allies, or to have friends?

Seems to me that South Korea is benefitting more from China's friendly relations than North Korea is from its alliance.

The stealth flights don't bother North Korea, why would they when there has been satellites watching their every move for 25 years?

You took the media bait from paid Pentagoon trolls.

Officially they are.

In a way this reminds me of the alliance between Churchill and Stalin. Not friends, only allies.

We're allies with Botswana but what does that really mean? Do we have obligations?
