Russia, North Korea commit to defending each other 'without delay' if invaded, provoking South Korean outrage
Fox News
Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un signed a military pact this week agreeing to defend each other 'without delay' if invaded.
"If one of the two sides is placed under war situations due to an armed invasion from an individual country or several nations, the other side provides military and other assistance without delay by mobilizing all means in its possession," the agreement states.

The agreement further cements the growing anti-West power bloc revolving around Russia as regional powers with friendships dating back to the Soviet era — such as Vietnam and China — reaffirm old bonds.
