The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming!

Who knew that NK was helping Ukraine ?
Once the Russians started using the ammunition sent by North Korea, they encountered unforeseen problems. The North Korean-made ammunition was of a poor standard and, as military experts projected, resulted in a significant rise in incidents of tanks and howitzers being destroyed or damaged due to premature shell explosions. Photos of the damaged vehicles began circulating on social media platforms.
North Korea, another country who's leader trump admits to admiring. Even crossed the border to shake his hand even though our two countries are still at war. Too bad North Korea didn't keep him.

More from the msn story;
In spite of Russia's substantial efforts towards arms production, there have been persistent issues with shortages in their military hardware. Even if the other essential components of a tank or howitzer remain intact after such an event, replacing the barrel – or both the barrel and turret – presents a significant challenge for the Russian industry.


Russia had set ambitious plans to manufacture about 600 tanks per year. However, its arms industry currently isn't even coming close to achieving half of that target. Furthermore, the raised production of rockets and artillery shells remains insufficient to keep pace with current usage rates, even with the additional shipments from North Korea.

Russia is getting exposed for the hollowed out economy that their Putin buddies have skimmed off of for decades. Their oil and gas production is dropping too because the Russians were farming out maintenance of their production facilities to foreign companies rather than develop the expertise themselves. And since the Russian education system has essentially collapsed it's likely they'll go back to foreign companies after the war. The damage done in the meantime could take them a decade or longer to fix.

I never crossed a border to shake hands with a leader of a country we are still at war with. Who also threatens this country with nuclear annihilation.
First off, were you ever elected the leader of a country ?
Second, they have allegedly threaten nuclear annihilation but still lack the means to do so.
The worst thing NK could do is place an EMP device on a ship and activate it along one of our coasts.
Which would result in causing the same effect of a nuclear explosion.

I would bet you and your neighbors are strangers as well.

To negotiate with an enemy, you must first find common ground, and communicate with them. Magnanimity from a position of strength is not a treasonous act.

Please tell Israel about how it is to love your enemies. Another bleeding heart _ _ _ _ _.
Israel treated its neighbor, their avowed enemy that swore to destroy them, with more solicitude than was warranted.

Loving your enemies does not mean allowing them to slaughter your family.

Your stupefaction at reality is revealing your hidden lunacy.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

Oh, it’s been revealed time and again.

israel traded security for expanding into other countries including egypt, syria, palestine, and probably lebanon.
