South Korea on Friday called on Russia to halt its arms deal with North Korea following a White House announcement that North Korean ballistic missiles were used in Russian attacks against Ukraine. A senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Seoul said on this day that by hauling arms from North Korea, Russia was “contradicting” the United Nations Security Council resolutions despite being a p...
Lol, Putin must be super desperate if he’s relying on NK to supply them. The US should just invade at this point, because I highly doubt their nukes are still functional.
Why would the US want to invade russia
Resources of course.
But we already have vodka and despair
Imagine having more vodka and despair lol.
Russia vodka has been garbage for decades anyway.
One nuke is enough. No one will ever invade Russia.
No, no it’s not. There are plenty of systems in place that could intercept an icbm, and many of those are aimed right at Russia. At the moment the only real hope of MAD would be if Russia could fire a large enough number to overload such systems.
Nukes and icbms are very expensive to maintain, and the Russian leadership has been embezzling a ton of that money for decades. It wouldn’t be a far stretch, given their losses in the Ukraine, to assume that their nuclear capabilities suffered the same fate.
Plus, I’m sure the US has a spy satellite network pointed at Russia 24/7 to monitor their nuclear activities.
The real reason it won’t happen is because Putin has a ton of dirt on the GOP and likely has it on a Deadman switch (the DNC’s emails weren’t the only ones hacked).
Russia is still under sanctions, so it’s probably trading stuff it has to spare - food, fertilizer, and oil/gas, meaning this is something that’s beneficial for them.
North Korea is probably handing over some of their older weapons (so they don’t have to maintain or dispose of them) as well as some of their newer weapons so that they can get feedback on how those weapons perform in real life combat, so this is something that is wish beneficial for them.
Since Russia and North Korea share a border, this trade seems almost inevitable.
Yeah, you should see the quality of the artillery charges they’re getting.
Quantity has a quality of its own.
Yeah until your artillery corps is full of shrapnel from a barrel detonation
NK’s logistic chain is definitely compromised, but it’s hard to tell if it is due to piss-poor quality control or “Eldest Son” sabotage.
Either way, Russia really doesn’t want to be using NK-produced weapons and ammunition.
Russia is China’s puppet, even if the US could walk into Moscow freely, they would have to deal with Beijing
