Indeed, a nice recap of a situation I've been mostly ignoring. I would say it's less like a "second front" against Russia as what is being called "lateral escalation" - the West is stirring up trouble for Russia in various places such as Syria in order to "distract" the Russian leadership from Ukraine - like that has any chance whatsoever of working.

Meanwhile, Russia, by inviting Kim Jung Un to Moscow - and more importantly, apparently delivering Topol-M ballistic missiles (and/or the design for same) to North Korea - has shown the US two can play the lateral escalation game. And re-establishing the long-time ties between Russia and North Korea is much more significant as it complicates the US moves against China.
