I’m sure military equipment equipment from NK is top notch. Solid move by Vova.

Brave man so u and me can be informed

You'd hope that they would have at least moved to protect themselves from being exploited by their own tools.

You must construct additional pylons!

Current changing on such a level is going to have to result in significant long-term environmental restructuring

With friends like that who needs enemies

Maybe its those at-risk-at-being-contaminated grain? China right before the war said that they will totally purchase a specific russian grain type that china have previously banned for risk of fungus infection and spreading to local chinese grain, but nothing ever seems to have come out of it. Maybe Putin found a new buyer.

Hmm, gonna be interesting to see how bad N. Korea's weapons are.

But true.

By 2050? Phew, I'll be 70. I can treat this with the same urgency my parents did.

What I find comically sad about this is....this strategy is being used against all wealth classes aside from the wealthy elites. It started to transition in the USA in the middle of the 70's. They literally found another way to get indentured servitude from the masses and have them smile thinking they are living the "dream". No one can afford to push back as they stagnate wages, increase the only avenue to live through credit slavery, slowly changed laws transfer wealth and power to corporations and wealthy elites, made laws against protests, bought news agencies for informational control, monetized our health to a disgusting degree, destroyed the landscape of unions, outsourced jobs to countries they pay pittance....and now can strong are the lower, middle, and reasonable higher class anytime they want. It is a fucking shame so many dont see what they have done. They got tired of the historical cycle when the masses get wiser....this time they gave a nice grace period to everyone in the early 20th century. And after that they created the near perfect system to keep the masses from uprising as they historically do because the wealthy elites arent smart....just a bunch of dragon selfish bitches who covet gold over the lives of their fellow man.

Cool story, bro.

That's what I'd say if I wanted to be the one to arrest Putin the wanted war criminal.

That is why this development is so concerning. If Russia decided to be very irresponsible, which they likely will, and stop sharing scheduled tests and similar events, the west has an extremely short window of time to determine whether it's a legit threat or not.

NK doesn't announce theirs, obviously, but they aren't in a state of hybrid conflict with the west in the same manner as Russia is. Besides, their missle game is nowhere near the Russians.

To me it makes this more than posturing and saber rattling if they follow through with it. It is just one more signal we are regressing hard into the cold war, and it's not as cold as it once was.

Wait wait wait. Didn't NK once post a picture of their army that included inflatable tanks?

The word "recruiting" is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence.

China's youth will be, on average, paying for the retirement of up to 4 people in the next decade. They won't be having children and won't be able to afford what their parents were able to. China's future is rather bleak.
