there are already a lot of sanctions on north korea. if you were in the biden white house, is there more right now that the biden white house can do in terps of deterrence? >> well, look, north korea will ignore those warnings, of course. as you mentioned, they're heavily sanctioned now as is russia. this transaction, transactions are important to kim jong-un. it props him up internationally in terms of showing the importance of him and his regime. that's why they had defense minister in july. of course, we also know the russians and chinese invited north korea to join a trilateral exercise. this boosts his credibility. they have to crack down on the russian side of this and try to interdict, if possible, any north korean cargoes trying to make their way into the region. >> what also makes this more fascinating is the meeting between vladimir putin and turkish president erdogan. there had been increasing signs that the west maybe had a little less to worry about regarding cozy relationship between russia and turkey. that meeting indicat

we saw russian defense minister shoigu travel to north korea in july. according to officials, he was trying to convince north korea to sell to russia ammunition. there was a follow-on following that meeting. we also know according to nsc that kim jong-un and president putin have actually exchanged letters, talking about advancing the relationship between the two countries. it looks like there has been a backdrop, some significant work going into this over the course of the last few months. we don't know exactly what would be in this arms deal, but according to the nsc spokesperson john kirby, the u.s. intelligence believes it would include ammunition for multiple different kinds of russian defense weaponry. that is hugely significant, and also raw materials for russia's defense sector. that's a key area, too, because we know that russia has long been plagued by the sanctions put on them due to this war. according to john kirby, the fact that russia is even looking to north korea for this support signals desperation and weakness. it's an area that we'll
